Did Russian troops invade Paris during Napolean's war with them?

Question

What date and what did they do there?

Answer 1

Yes, Russian troops occupied Paris in 1814. While there, many officers started wanting Russia to reform to be more like the west, many of those officers led the Decembrist revolt of 1825. Russian soldiers impatience with french cooking also led to the development of the Bistro, which is Russian for "fast."

Answer 2

Never heard that one before. Do you know how far it is from Russia to Paris. When Napolean Invaded Russia, and eventually got to Moscow, he found it to be an empty city. Every Russian had left Moscow. Every civilian and soldier had fled. But this was planned. When they left, everything was taken. There was not a scrap of food left, No livestock, nothing was left to help the Enemy. Napolean realised that they could not stay because he could not feed his army. They had no food for themselves or their horses. They had no fuel for fires, Nothing had been left. Napolean had no choice but to leave Moscow and hope his Army could forage for food as they retreated. But the Russians had also taken all the food fom the farms for hundreds of miles around. The retreat was at the start of the Russian Winter, and Napolean lost two thirds of his troops through starvation and severe cold. After they left Moscow, the Russians returned to an untouched city, and pursued his retreating army and kept making raids on his camp. , Causing the deaths of hundreds of his troops.

Answer 3

Yes they did, 31st. March 1814, led by the Tsar.
Napoleon's staggering losses, incurred during his campaign in Russia, breathed new life into the Wars of Liberation. Fired by the possibility that Napolean had been irreperably weakened, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, and Russia fell once more to the attack. Most of the war was prosecuted in Germany and Napolean's forces met their decisive defeat at the Battle of Nations in 1813 near Leipzig. Wellington marched his army into France from Spain, and in 1814, allied armies crossed over into eastern France from Germany. Napoleon eventually retreated to Paris where, on March 31, Tsar Alexander I and King Frederick William III of Prussia marched into the city. They forced Napolean to abdicate and exiled him to Elba, a small island off of Italy.

With Napoleon gone, there was little reason to hold the coalition together. The nations of the coalition, however, recognized that they would not be able to pursue their interests until the French "problem" had been solved. Before the war ended in 1814, the coalitions allies had signed the Treaty of Chaumont on March 9. This treaty stipulated that the Bourbons be restored to the French monarchy and that France return to pre-1792 borders. Of course, this was only a document of principles. Working out the mechanics of this treaty fell to the Congress of Vienna after the abdication of Napolean.

The Congress met in September of 1814 and continued until November of 1815. Almost all the heads of European states were present, but the Congress was more or less run by Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Uppermost on the participants' minds was preventing France from expanding beyond its borders ever again. To achieve this, the members of the Congress produced a series of "buffer" states around France, such as the Netherlands. For the most part, however, Europe remained divided into the states that Napoleon had established; the most significant change that Napoleon had effected was the elimination of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. The Congress ratified that dissolution, and the states of the Holy Roman Empire disappeared into other entities. Finally, the Congress of Vienna fully ratified the notion of monarchy and thoroughly rejected any republican or democratic governments in Europe. They installed Louis XVIII, the brother of Louis XVI, as King of France.

Answer 4

No they didn't, they chased the French as far as Poland and then withdrew, as their war with France was technically over by then, as the french had turned tail and marched back to France due to low food and low munitions. But the British, Spanish and Portugese invaded France in 1813! a year later the war was over, then the French spark the powder keg of Europe once more in 1815 by starting (and losing) the Battle of Waterloo
