Explanation:

11. Tsar Alexander I had personally assured Napoleon his adherence to the Continental System, this is, the boycott to products made in England. However, he broke his personal promise as it harmed the commercial interests of Russia.

12. The combined French and Spanish Fleets were utterly defeated by the Royal Navy Fleet commanded by Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. This defeat led to the cancellation of the invasion of England by the French. As his fleet was being defeated by the British, Napoleon was setting up his army for his most famous victory against a combined force or Russian and Austrian armies at Austerlitz.

13. After Napoleon's armies defeated Austria at the Battle of Austerlitz and Prussia at the Battle of Jena, Napoleon demanded military aid as part of the peace treaties signed with each nation. When Tsar Alexander I of Russia broke away from the Continental System, Napoleon took his armies to the western border of Russia in the Baltic principalities, and ordered the conscription of Austrian and Prussian troops to augment his own army in order to invade Russia in retaliation for defying France and the Continental System.

14. Napoleon invaded Russia in retaliation for defying the Continental System. Napoleon did put his brother, Joseph, in the throne of Spain, which caused an open rebellion in Spain.

15. Napoleon made all the way to the then former capital of Russia, Moscow, hoping to force Tsar Alexander I to accept peace negotiations. Actually, Tsar Alexander I had withdrawn to the actual capital of the Russian Empire since the times of Tsar Peter I, Saint Petersburg, ignoring all the messages sent to him by Napoleon and patiently waiting for the winter time to wreak havoc among Napoleon's troops.
