How Napoleon’s army died on the way back from Moscow, new DNA research
DNA testing was conducted on the remains of the deceased military personnel

The issue of the return of Napoleon’s army and their death has always been a historical mystery, and now modern DNA research has shed some new light on it.

In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia, but his army faced severe difficulties on its return from Moscow. Cold, famine, disease and the resistance of the Russian army brought Napoleon’s army to the brink of collapse, and the campaign to return from Moscow became a serious tragedy in history.

In the past, research was conducted on what were the real reasons for the death of Napoleon’s army and their destruction. Most historians say that a large part of his army died due to the harsh Russian winter, disease and lack of food. But in recent years, modern DNA analysis has shed new light on this issue.

According to new DNA research, scientists have found that other factors were involved in the deaths of some of the soldiers who died in Napoleon’s army, using DNA testing on their remains.

For example, one study found that epidemics such as cholera and typhoid had also spread in the army at that time, which caused the deaths of millions of soldiers.

In addition, some research reports have said that traces of various genetic diseases have also been found in Napoleon’s army, such as some soldiers’ genetic weaknesses that made them susceptible to severe colds or diseases.
