Answer 1

Russia.

Step-by-step explanation:

On June 24, 1812, French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte led his army to invade Russia. Napoleon's Grande armee crossed the Neman River to force Tsar Alexander into the continental blockade of British goods. Gathering approximately 600,000 soldiers from every empire he ruled, he entered into the Russian territory.

Russians, who did not want to give war, used to tactics of scorched earth. Russians retreated and burned the places they left behind. The Russian heat made it more difficult for Napoleon army to continue. Many soldiers became exhausted, sick, and many left.

Therefore, the correct answer is Russia.
