Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe French invasion of Russia.gif |
English: The French invasion of Russia of 1812 was the turning point of the Napoleonic Wars. The French engineer Charles Joseph Minard, considered to be father of the information graphics made a representation of the French invasion of Russia, where the destruction of Napoleon's Grande Armee in the last months of 1812 is rendered in his dramatic force; the width of the line representing the route of the French army is proportional to the amount of soldiers. LIONsolver reproduces Minard's map and does something more: it represents the temporal evolution of the events . This is done by the usage of arrows and LION's sweeping visualization, click on the animated GIF image to activate ( http://LIONsolver.com ) Español: La invasión francesa de Rusia en 1812 fue el punto de inflexión de las guerras napoleónicas. El ingeniero francés Charles Joseph Minard, considerado como el padre de las gráficas, elaboró una representación de aquella donde se muestra la destrucción de la Gran Armada de Napoleón durante los últimos meses de 1812 en toda su crudeza: la anchura de la línea que representa la ruta del ejército francés es proporcional a la cantidad de soldados. De los 422 000 militares que inician la campaña, solo regresan 10 000: 412 000 mueren. LIONsolver reproduce el mapa de Minard y representa la evolución temporal de los acontecimientos. |
