The Great Fire of Moscow raged as Napoleon entered the Kremlin and was later relocated as the fires threatened the complex.
In 1812, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte launched his disastrous invasion of Russia to pressure Alexander I to stop trading with British merchants so the UK would sue for peace with France. Scorched-earth tactics were employed by the Russians consistently during the invasion, and as a result the French found it difficult to supply their massive army.
As Napoleon approached Moscow, Fyodor Rostopchin who was the Governor-General of the city, ordered several important buildings to be burned. Most buildings in Moscow were made of wood, so what started as a series of small fires quickly turned into a city-wide firestorm.
The French army occupied Moscow for a month, waiting for a peace offer from the Tsar, which never came. It is estimated that 3/4 of all buildings in Moscow were destroyed, and more than 12,000 were dead. The French were devastated in Russia; their army was reduced to a fraction of its strength, and Napoleon's reputation was significantly weakened.

First use of tanks in warfare, Britain's Mark I "Little Willies" at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, part of the Battle of the Somme
Battle of Flers–Courcelette: Mark I tanks fill with petrol on the day tanks were first used in war.
Since then tanks have become a mainstay of warfare, offering heavy weaponry, mobility and defense against small arms.
While the actual battlefield effect of a tank in World War I can be debated, it is known that the introduction of these menacing machines caused terror in the German ranks. Attempts to get the British government to construct armored machines went back to 1914, when a select group of Army officers tried to persuade the War Office to introduce them.
First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill convened a committee in 1915 to investigate if a mechanical solution to the trench warfare problem could be found, as a stalemate had ensued on the Western Front. So tanks were, in part, introduced to meet the unique challenges of traversing the trenches. Tanks could be shot at without effect, could trample barbed wire, and were able to roll over wide trenches.
The name "tank" was adopted to maintain secrecy for its purpose while it was being developed. The first tanks, as seen above, were the Mark I vehicles, nicknamed Little Willies. They drove at a whopping maximum speed of 5.9km/h (3.66 mph) and had a crew of eight.
