1812年,充满传奇色彩的拿破仑兵败俄罗斯,自此他苦心经营的法兰西大帝国分崩离析,最后自己也在圣赫勒拿岛的流放生活中抑郁而亡。世人往往将其失败归结为战线拖得太长,后勤供应不上。但加拿大一位化学家近日在著作中提出新解,小小的纽扣是导致拿破仑60万大军覆没的罪魁祸首。 In 1812, the legendary Napoleon defeated Russia, and since then France’s great empire, which he painstakingly managed, fell apart. Eventually he himself died of depression in the exile of St. Helena. The world often blames its failures on the fact that the front has been dragged too long and logistical supply is not on. But a Canadian chemist recently proposed a new solution in his book. A small button was the culprit that caused Napoleon’s 600,000 troops to fall.
