The Napoleonic invasion could have survived winter without issue if they followed their initial slow invasion plan.
Masterful baiting by the Russians are the reason it failed.

Except most of the French troops died at summer from typhus and other diseases…. Also the og “Winter is coming” is actually Winter of 1815 and 1816 hence why 1816 is called a “year without a summer”

Russia is so lucky that everyone who’s invaded them was too dumb to wait out winter.
