Thanks for the video! Just two corrections that I think are important: One, he crowned himself not Emperor of France, but Emperor _of the French_ . Not of the land, like the old kings, but of the people, from whom he drew his power. And two, although there is an argument that he died of arsenic poisoning--since a high amount of it was found in his hair--the cause of his death is widely accepted as stomach cancer, so you might want to include that in the description as well, just to present both views. Again, great work!
Well its most likely arsenic poisoning since the house he was living in had arsenic in the wall paper that wasnt holding up very will in the islands climate. Not intentional poisoning though.
@@Lumotaku Hello. While it's true that Longwood had arsenic in its wall papers and was infested with rats, that was almost certainly not the cause of death. Here I'm quoting from _Napoleon the Great_ by Andrew Roberts: "Various imaginative conspiracy theories have been put forward over the years alleging that Napoleon was poisoned with arsenic by Montholon and/or others, based on the supposedly high arsenic content in his hair. Yet hair samples from plenty of other contemporaries have yielded similarly high arsenic levels - such as from Josephine and the King of Rome - and his hair had high arsenic counts at several stages of his life before he went to St Helena. The 10.38 parts per million of arsenic in his hair was lower, for example, than the 17 parts per million in George III’s hair. It is true that Napoleon might have benefited from a better doctor than the barely competent Francesco Antommarchi, appointed by Madame Mère and Cardinal Fesch, who took over in September 1819 - Napoleon refused to see any doctor appointed by Lowe - but nothing could alter the ultimate outcome once stomach cancer had taken hold. Seven British surgeons and Antommarchi opened his corpse at the post-mortem in the billiards room the day after Napoleon’s death, the body resting on some planks of wood supported by trestles. In the words of the official post-mortem report: The internal surface of the stomach to nearly its whole length, was a mass of cancerous disease or scirrhous portions advancing to cancer, this was particularly noticed near the pylorus. The cardiac extremity for a small space near the termination of the oesophagus was the only part appearing in a healthy state, the stomach was found nearly filled with a large body of fluid resembling coffee grounds. The convex surface of the left lobe of the liver adhered to the diaphragm. "The symptoms and time-course make it likely that this was not a benign stomach ulcer that became malignant, which used to happen in the days before acid-arresting medication, but a cancer from the beginning which spread until it had taken over almost the entire stomach. The autopsy showed that the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes and the tissues in contact with the stomach, but not to the liver. Adhesions in the chest cavity suggest a previous infection - early tuberculosis or bacterial pneumonia some time before - which was not related to his death. Blood-stained fluid in the pleural cavities and the pericardial cavity could have been the consequence of septic shock, which could follow a perforation of the stomach. The coffee grounds were blood that had been turned dark brown by the action of stomach acid and digestive enzymes. "...as one of the doctors present, Walter Henry, wrote of the stomach: This organ was found most extensively disorganized: in fact it was ulcerated all over like a honeycomb. The focus of the disease was exactly the spot pointed out by Napoleon [on several occasions in his final illness] - the pylorus, or lower end where the intestines begin. At this place I put my finger into a hole made by the ulcer that had eaten through the stomach, but which was stopped by a light adhesion to the adjacent liver. He added: ‘How Napoleon could have existed for any time with such an organ was wonderful, for there was not an inch of it sound.’" As we can see, the ulcers were so rampant that saying he died of arsenic poisoning would be akin to saying a man who had a stroke or a heart attack died from the cut on his finger. Stomach cancer was also what killed his father, at least two of his siblings (Lucien and Pauline), as well as his illegitimate son Charles Léon. Even if he'd somehow won the War of the Seventh Coalition and managed to retain his throne, it seems like he would have been dead in six years anyway.
@@TLOK1918 thank you for posting that. All i can say is that there is a bbc show about the cause of napeleons death Im sure you could find it. I am not claimng to be right only what I saw.
**Emperor of the French** also has connotation with ancient titles, famously the Roman Emperors used the titles "Emperor of the Romans", "Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans", and "Emperor and Autocrat of All the Romans" (The last one being used to specify a claim to Imperium despite the "Emperors" in germany).
Napoleon: What if we concentrate Artillery and split the army in several mini armies on the march? Everyone else: what? That’s the stupidest thing i have ever heard Napoleon: Everyone else: holy shit
Napoleon's grandson I think it was in the France's time in the mid 1800s created Paris to the most beautiful city in the world which what he did would give it the name The City of Lights as he turned Paris into a beautiful city in a few years

Excellent video, finally an adequate lyrics video for Sabaton's counterpart. I salute you.
Napoleon: What if we concentrate Artillery and split the army in several mini armies on the march?
Everyone else: what? That’s the stupidest thing i have ever heard
Napoleon:
Everyone else: holy shit
It was a little more complicated then that
The 1800s were lit.
ikr
Not for the Irish
Yeah
Moscow, September 14, 1812
2:06 I used to think it said "the enemie was fucking foul"
Great. Now i can't stop hearing that
Same
I'm not sure what it says but I definitely hear the f-word in there. Doesn't sound like "Far too strong" at all to me.
Nice work!
Thanks, it's good to know my work is appreciated.
Emperor of my ancestors and my spirit. VIVE L'EMPEREUR!
This is great video u did a great job man
Very well done, really good lyric video!
Everyone great news piscator has uploaded
Napoleon's grandson I think it was in the France's time in the mid 1800s created Paris to the most beautiful city in the world which what he did would give it the name The City of Lights as he turned Paris into a beautiful city in a few years
If I remember correctly it was his nephew. Napoleon III
Lol
Napoleon III was the guy fighting against bismark and moltke right?
@@Eric-eu6rl yeah, though he was a great statesman, he was terrible in the military and foreign affairs
Long live the king by Sabaton or I will rule the universe by Civil War
Long live the king for be im dy hard sabaton but then this
0:27
3:23
Welp time to start a new Napoleon campaign
Its just me or it says "but how he tried" and not "but how he cried"
He never lied, but how he tried- did he try to lie?
He never lied but how he cried
Cried wh-I WILL RULE THE UNIVERSE!
❤
-Charles I. Filip Schwarzenberg joined the chat.
-Napoleon Bonaparte leaved the chat.

Probably some Prussian
@@DukeofTxtspeak most probably a british

Well, well... nobody is equal with God.
Napoleon was a great leader and general but nobody can resist God's will.
It's supposed to symbolise his ego.
Napoleon was an extremely arrogant man who believed himself to be higher than all others.
Yeah, I know. The song perfectly show this. This behaviour was the fatal error for him, I think.
Reichmarschall John Smith pride before victory is always a lethal error no matter how strong you are
hes grater than god if he clashes with god with his armies in afterlife
@@jalalabama2938 lol, nope :D
