Napoleon's Russian Campaign Visualization

This is an interactive data visualization of Napoleon's disastrous 1812 Russian campaign, inspired by Charles Joseph Minard's famous flow map from 1869.

The visualization shows:

  • The size of the French army (represented by the width of the path)
  • The route of advance and retreat
  • The temperature during the retreat
  • Key locations and events during the campaign

This project uses D3.js to create an interactive version of Minard's classic visualization.
