Uncovering the Hidden Enemy: DNA Analysis Reveals Disease Killed Napoleon's Army

As Napoleon marched into Russia in 1812 with over 600,000 troops, he expected a swift victory. However, what awaited was a perfect storm of misfortune, starvation, freezing weather, and disease. The army's hygiene conditions were appalling, and soldiers wore the same lice-infested clothes for weeks and drank
