If I remember correctly, after the defeat of the 4th colalition, Napoleon visited the tomb of Fredrick the great. “Gentlemen” he said. He passed his hat to an officer. “If this man were still alive, I would not be here.” If somebody like nopoleon can humble him self to the likes of Fredrick, it really says something about both of them.
9:38 In Leipzig, there‘s a ginormous memorial of the Battle of Leipzig called “Völkerschlachtsdenkmal“ (Battle of the Nations memorial). You have to be there in person to witness the true size of this memorial! It really does justice to those who died there.
And don't forget Louis Napoléon Bonaparte who became temporary king of the Netherlands: Het Konijn van Holland (the rabbit of Holland, he mistook the word konijn (rabbit) for koning (king)

But that meant he would lose all of his conquests in Germany, Poland, Italy etc. which would mean all those men who fought at Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Wagram, died for nothing.
france: "we don't want to have a king no more" Napoleon: "want to help me overthrow the king" France: "yes" Napoleon: "well now i'm the emperor wich is the same as king'"
Emperors have more prestige and power As much as how you might think medieval kings are basically like supreme leaders or dictators, they must oblige to rules set by other aristocrats. Emperors are mostly the one that's closer to dictators, although Napoleon also had a council of advisors
@@kevinsworldK.w69 nepoleon was one of the all time OGs , defeat the european powers with might and bravery, a smart man and one of the greatest generals/conquers of history. ALL OF the european powers shamefully defeated by one man and his intelligence/ governing skill.
An interesting insight is that Napoleon's army was essentially pagan. One could differentiate the corpses of Frenchmen and Russians at the field of Borodino because the former would have animist, pagan and even satanist tattoos, motifs and trinkets while the latter had Orthodox crosses. Later, when Napoleon returned to France it is said that the soldiers greeted him with "Down with the King, the Church and the Priests! Long live the Emperor and Hell!"
Honestly not a surprise, from a certain perspective, Lucifer is the original rebel against the unjust tyranny of a king. Even today, modern Satanism is more about the dedication to a committed fight against tyranny than actual worship.
@@REMAINS1666 what are you talking about ? You can’t just rewrite history. The facts are the facts and Ireland was under British control from the 17th to the 20th century

“To stop the media from portraying him poorly.”
Yeah; he was average height for the time ya jerks!

Any height deficiency was just due to the sheer weight of his _absolutely massive balls._

Aspern-Essling are now both part of Vienna. I live there. We even have a Victory plaza ("Siegesplatz"). There you can find the Schnitzelhaus Napoleon

Well I guess it's a compensation for him for the fact that he didn't get his Pizzeria like Caesar
A compensation
I love Vienna. Was my first home after I moved out of my childhood home

It truly is monumental. It was even used during WW2 as a strongpoint when US forces attacked the city.
Thanks for mentioning Napoleon abolition of serfdom, the reforms get overlooked often

I mean the country did get independence in 64
You’re a welcome.
shame they don't really teach the napoleonic wars who want to learn about all this awesome stuff
They do, what are you talking about?
yeah everything was just hectic all the time.
Who’s “they”?
I learned about it
This was a great video, nice job on it 👍
Thanks for doing the zoom call with my class
man i love watching these over and over again!
There's was also Napoleon's general who Napoleon put as king of Sweden and who promptly declared war on napoleon
Napoleon was one of the best things to have happened for France.
How so? The french had to pay the allies a huge amount of money after the hundred days
The peace didn't held until WWI, the franco-prussian war must not be forgotten
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Do the Bosnian war(Yugoslavian war)
What was Napoleon thinking rejecting the Frankfurt proposals?
He could have had all of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Rheinland
But that meant he would lose all of his conquests in Germany, Poland, Italy etc. which would mean all those men who fought at Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Wagram, died for nothing.
@@kevin8712 the Rheinland though would still have been his and he no longer controlled Poland
There is nothing we can do…
Yes!
At the end you should have updated it with a joke about Britian having left.
Yeah just draw it being on fire but going "At least my passport is the colour I like".
Spain was Napoleon’s Afghanistan
More like his Vietnam
It really wasn’t at all. This is quite the myth though.
Afganistan no vietnam
Why did he laughed when he said "Norway and Denmark joined the war with France"😂
your book is great
nice job, mate! keep up the good work!
Can u please do the Titanic? Great video by the way😉
The ottomans: it’s fine
napoleon was in egypt, fighting against the ottomans
With help from britain of course
To be honest it feels like the same video just at a slower pace

No
Napoleon wasn't that good of a general. All it took to beat him were some Brits on a hill and a hoard of angry Germans.
Yet, it took Seven Coalitions, countless infantrymen, horses, and about ten years to defeat the fun-sized French man.
