just talk about the fact that Russia is really far up north
Russian winter = DEATH
for Hitler and Napoleon

The Technical Analys says
Here's an example — the geography of Russia is a flat pine-tree convered area from the Urals to Kamchata. This type of territory is easily traversed by horseback. The mongol army consisted mostly of horse archers who were able to maneuver, coalesce, and attack quickly. After conquering China, they went from Mongolia to Poland in a few decades. There were no natural barriers to an invading army.

Talk about how the vast expanses of the Ukraine and western Russia were a deciding factor in Germany's stalled effort to conquer and defend the occupation of USSR territory in WWII.
