A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the strategic motivations behind Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812, moving beyond the familiar narrative of hubris and winter. They dissect the Continental System — Napoleon’s economic blockade against Britain — and how Tsar Alexander I’s defiance forced Napoleon’s hand. Lucas explains the Tilsit agreements of 1807, the breakdown of Franco-Russian relations, and the role of Poland as a flashpoint. The conversation examines the strategic miscalculations on both sides: Napoleon’s assumption of a quick decisive battle, and Alexander’s adoption of a scorched-earth strategy inspired by the Spanish guerrilla war. They touch on the critical role of General–Intendant Armand de Caulaincourt, who warned against the invasion, and the impact of the Continental System on Russia’s economy. This episode reframes the 1812 campaign as a rational—if flawed—geopolitical calculation, not merely a personal folly.
