Uncountable!. His troops ravished across most of Europe and Russia and even into the middle east in places such as Afghanistan!. Waterloo is the one battle which gets the most publicity since he was finally defeated there by the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian field marshall Von Blucher!. Actually Wellington was about to surrender until Von Blucher arrived!. Wellington got the credit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Countless, he was very good at them, ultimately it was his inability to draw his enemies into battle in Russia that cost him; rather than confront the French the Russians drew them into the country and let them be sapped by cold, hunger and disease!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
