Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 caused his downfall?

Yes. A scholarly survey chapter explicitly frames the 1812 Russian campaign as the opening of Napoleon's 'Downfall, 1812–1815', and several reference and archaeological sources document the catastrophic destruction of the Grande Armée in Russia.
