Why do most people say the war with Russia was actually Napoleon's downfall and not the Battle of Waterloo?

Some people have stated this, for the following reasons:The Russian invasion utterly destroyed Napoleon's army. The biggest force he had ever mustered was irretrievably shattered in Russia. His veterans, his elite soldiers, died here in numbers he could not hope to replace. This made it possible for the Coalition to drive Napoleon into his first exile. When he returned in the Hundred Days, he resurrected what he could of the Imperial army, but too much of it was lying in Russian snow for it to be what he needed.Napoleon's defeat and ignominous retreat shattered the myth of invulnerability that surrounded Napoleon. Up to then, the Emperor had never lost a battle that he personally commanded (I am pretty sure on that fact). It demoralised his surviving soldiers, and more importantly, alienated his citizens. It greatly reduced his support and made it harder for him to reassemble his Empire when he returned during the Hundred Days.After the 1812 invasion, Napoleon struggled to fight off the Allies and defend France. He showed some brilliant generalship in battles of this time, but the greatest general in the world cannot win without an army. The Russian invasion made it possible for him to be deposed once, and it was that, more than anything, that finished Napoleon. When he returned he was fated not to last long - All Europe united against him, for none could bear the thought of Napoleon ruling again.

What was the result of Napoleon selling Louisiana?

It was a win, win, situation for both the US and Napoleon. The US gained land for westward expansion and the Port of New Orleans and the Mississippi River, both of which were essential for commerce and growth in the midwest. Napoleon gained the funds needed to continue his European war and also this sale was certain to be upsetting to Great Britain since it had prior claims to lands on the Pacific Coast of North America and an interest in commerce via New Orleans.


Why did Napoleon Bonaparte sign a concordat?

His fight with the Catholic Church was seen by the more devout rural French as a spiteful and mean spitited action (Which it was). By granting limited privileges to the church, he gained great friends in high places and the love of his people. It cost him nothing. He never returned the lands of the church. He offered no apology in the Name of France for the desecration of Cathedrals, theft of any religious icons or for the death and injury sustained by the clergy. For the Church it gained its status as the Church of the French. For Napoleon, it was a win-win bargain.
