Pin this comment so people will know on this day you once had 1.4k subs when you have 500k now
I hope this ages well
It will
This will age well! I will save this video until he hits 500k subs!
This means so much to me, thank you! :)
here before 500k
I've heard before that Napoleon's comeback was like an episode of Code Geass and I can't argue with that.
This did a better Job explaining the History of Napoleons conquest than the Napoleon movie 💀
Haven't watched it yet, im going on Wednesday, is it that bad?😭
Sorry man.. yeah@@icebulb
Man what an underrated guy, and you explained it very well for the brief time
Thank you!
@@icebulbwell done
I guess napoleon was average hight for the time 😂😂😂😂
There is nothing we can do...
There is something _you_ can do.
@@rhyusbrand8311theres nothing we can do OR IS IT?
*Amour Plastique plays out of nowhere*
*proceeds to have an epik comeback*
*immediately loses his gains and gets exiled again*
Indeed there’s nothing we can do
This feels like an Oversimplified copy but it also doesn’t but it also does
10/10 stars
Most flattering comment ever
Usually i sub to small creators just because i feel bad for them not getting recognised, but man you really are underrated! Great video!
Thank you! 😎
“Theres no way that he can escape while we’re gone by painting a British vessel.”
He escaped while they were gone by painting a British vessel😂😂😂😂😂😂
ur vids are great bro!
I'm glad you enjoy them!
I love your vids, so fun to watch
Thank you so much!
Underrated, deserves 10k
May the algorithm gods hear you
You mean 1 million?
I wish haha
@@lilfloppi8991should of Said that
Countryballs, combined with oversimplified style? Wow EPIC
The best of both worlds
@@icebulb yes amazing video
I love your videos brother!
Thanks bro!
1:00 Dead Zed music in the background:
It really sounds like one of his songs hahaha
A hidden gem.
Thank you so much!
Yeet yeet I am a beet
Deepest comment ever
Informative! And I like your silly humour. 😄
It's what I intend with my videos haha, I'm glad you liked it!
I don't like being the "uhm achtually" guy especially as I loved your video and subscribed, but there still were minor mistakes that go a long way :
Napoleon wasn't offered to invade England : some consider sending him to Ireland which was under British control to spark a successful rebelion, but politicians and high ranking officers, afraid of the popularity he was gaining, sent him to Egypt convinced he'd fail and so would lose all popularity.
Napoleon wasn't the one who choosed Elba, the coalition did that choice for him as he didn't have a say. Note tho it was still thought not to be too humiliating
Finally, Napoleon was the one who refused to go to the united states, saying that tho he supported his troups dying for France, he refused for them to risk dying for him
That's all, good video otherwise, for as I said, theses are minor mistakes :)
Yes I've read sources claiming what you just wrote, and I've read other sources claiming what I said in the video. It's the part about history I dislike the most haha, the fact that we will never know for sure what actually happened or what went through someone's mind.
Having said this, I always love when someone posts a comment like this cause we get to see history from another potential point of view. (Excuse my grammar, I just woke up haha) And don't worry, "uhm actually" guys are welcomed here!
Bro ur vids are so entertaining while u help me learn history.
I love reading this, thank you!
Napoleon had balls of steel also it would make a pretty good alt history video of him actually making it to the usa
It would definitely make for an awesome video indeed
can you make it just wondering?
sweet btw i just subscribed keep up the good work man
The thing is I dont know if one of the potential video content topics of this channel could be alternate history, I think its a big risk given my current audience (which have not seen an alternate history video yet) and I wouldnt want it to flop like the emu war video after 1 month of full-time YT editing so I'm kinda scared about branching with that type of content at this stage haha
Thanks for the sub!
Also congrats u published this on my birthday thanks for the birthday gift
Haha you're welcome!
Lets go the most underrated UA-camr is back
Reading comments like this one makes my day!
Yesss, another video!!!!
Yessir!
Subdued Napoleon., subdued story... brilliant 🙄🎈
Thank you!
the video is incredible and very well explained❤
Thank you! :)
U welcome :D
The new oversimplified. (Keep posting)
Thank you! (I will)
@@icebulbif you are the next oversimplified I have to say
Napoleon was average height for the time 😂😂😂😂
Vive l'Empereur ! c:
Being exiled all alone in elba is really depressing
Very good video, the polandball animation is good (even if seeing polandball mouths feel strange), and it's funny
I learnt a lot of details that I didn't knew (like wth you're telling me there might be a polish bonaparte branch ?😳)
Btw it's only recently that I learnt that mosot of the world (well at least the anglosphere) think of napoleon as a bad guy or even compare him to mustache boi, while here in France he's considered a hero (and I follow this vision as a professional French)
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I'm guessing that most countries excluding France will portray him somewhat differently haha, but objectively, he was just a really good military leader that sought to expand the French Empire, that's what should be taught everywhere
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
this was sucha nice and entertaining video ngl
I love reading this kind of comments
This channel is awsome
Thank you so much! :D
Fun fact
During the Pernambucan Revolution a bunch of brazilians tried to rescue Napoleon from St Helena using *checks note* a wood submarine? And they didnt even speak french, but thought that he could lead their armies to victory against the brazilian government by crowning him Emperor of Pernambuco
I'm adding this to my list of fun and random facts. Thanks!
@@icebulb
And I thank you for your wonderful work!
This man reminds me of oversimplified, MAN WHY ARE SO MANY UA-camRS ARE DISAPPEARING
I know, I need my Oversimplified fix
Very underrated channel. I hope you'll get more subs soon.
Thank you! :)
As if he needed this moment to prove his character by that time. This was just icing on the cake of what a bad ass Napoléon was.
Couldn't agree more
Napoleon’s line after returning to France was cold, the fact bro told them to shoot him was insane
Yeah it was his biggest gamble in all of his life and he was not certain that no one would pull the trigger, and one guy doing it would have been enough for him to die. But in the end the gamble paid off and he got an actual army that he could then use to march on Paris and fight
Better than the Ridley Scott purge.
Been Here Since about 20 Subs I've Been Watching The Vids Since 18 subs congrats for over 1 K
Thank you! :)
We need more of this
Working on a big one right now, the thing is they take so long to make😭😭
Now this is high quality content m8, hope to c moer in the future :D
You will! ;)
@@icebulb ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) eggcellent
One fact is Napoleon lost most of his army during the summer when invading Russia, before reaching Moscow.
Nice work👍
Thank you!
the little ice age actually helped the russians a lot in driving back napoleon from russia.
Winter always saves Russia
Your voice has potential
Thanks!
What do you use to make your videos
I use Paint to make the characters and DaVinci Resolve to animate everything
Bro i hopy you still do videos
I'm working on a pretty big one right now, although it's going to be released probably at the end of January cause it will easily surpass the 20 minute mark
You know while watching this i have thought about what if french troops shot napoleon in laffre 1815
and imagine if napoleon escaped saint helena took over a tribe in angola or brazil and then conquered rest of the contintent of africa or south america
There has to be an alternate history video about this
Unless you dont know anything about history, in the last coalition (the 7th coalition where the battle of waterloo happend) the coalition declared war not on france, but on NAPOLEON HIMSELF!
Yes this is true! I forgot to specify in the video
“Shooting the guy and lotting his body” bro was playing fortnite💀
I would argue that the French weren't playing games💀
Bro was playing Fortnite 1812 edition, with the 1813 DLC 💀💀💀
Very good humor so cool
Thank you!
There is nothing Icebulb can do
Just like the Austrians against Napoleon
don’t even say it
and change title back pls the other sounds more interesting
anybody can be held at gunpoint, dis dude made an epic comeback
I changed it cause I only had a 1.8% CTR with the last one, I've changed it back to the original but with a twist, to see which one is the most clickable
Dude you forgot about Haitian revolution
I'm going to mention the Haitian Revolution briefly in my next vid but yeah, it could've made an appearance too in this one
Wait this was made 8 months ago? Wow… 8 MONTHS AND ONLY ONE NEW VIDEO NAHHHHH(I made this as a joke we know that the research and animation is hard and long so take your time)
@@Terrence5 haha yeah it takes a very long time to make a new video😭😭
6:10 💀
Amazing
I agree
They looted that guy's body merslesly
They did him dirty
Bros have max Charisma Skill in Fall out be like:
( oversimplified in countryballs basically
Yup😎
37,360th viewer of this video!
It’s so sad that napoleon was just living alone on st Helena and died there🥺
They could've at least exiled him to the Caribbean
3:24
Actually napoleon bring 250K Lee grande armee for invasion russia 1812
And it reach took 50K casualties
After that napoleon forced retreat until 150K casualties remain of 50K lee grande armee
Yeah I'm sure there must be many accounts with different numbers
napoleon died of cancer on this island
Yes, they think it could've been stomach cancer
this is more accurate than ridley scott's napoleon
Gotten this comment quite a lot
i have something else too, from 0:15 to 6:27 when you said "some context" the context was 52.250000000 and so on
it is 52.25000000000....... because if you divide 627 by 12, you get 52.25.
Make king george life explained the one that was in American revolution
I'll note it down!
Vive l’Empereur ! Son histoire est mille fois plus classe que celles, fictives, de vos héros Marvel. Il a tenu en échecs plusieurs coalitions de princes pendant 17 années... Alors qu’il partait du bas de l’échelle sociale ! Il a livré plus de 60 batailles ! Ils nous a légué notre code civile, la banque de France, le lycée, les prefectures… Il a crée et organisé la modernisation de son pays. Le petit Corse a fait bien plus que Superman l’immigré cryptonien.
1:11 That's just mean and unfair lol.
Oh and also heres another idea make a history of uk idc if u use videos google or anything
I'll add it to the list! If made, it'll follow the same style as usual, with animated countryballs
Within 3 weeks!
Yeah it's doing good 😎
222 amen, may your decisions be more greatful
I, French, I am part nepoleon, TIME FOR A NEW FRENCH REVELUTION
You deserve so many more subscribers! Trust me, you're channel will blow up one day. I've been a fan since 3 months, can I please get a shoutout? No need if you don't want to...
I dont think I have the audience required for a shoutout, besides our content is somewhat different. That said, I've enjoyed your story of earth video!
Also, thanks for your support since the start!
Its funny how napoleon is born date funny number
I knew someone would comment this
0:59 They Were Ottomans Not Mamluks, Mamluks were there decades before Napoleonic war happend
They were mamluks within the Ottoman Empire, Egypt was an autonomous province within the Ottoman Empire at that time, ruled by Mamluks who paid taxes to the Ottomans
Napoleon even had a special Corps called the Mamluks of the Imperial Guard, composed originally of Mamluk slave soldiers (after the Battle of the Pyramids)
*No one explained about Napoleon III 💀*
Bruh who that?💀
3:24 ww2 in the 1700s
Legit
There is nothing we can do🇫🇷
Fun fact: Napoleon died in my birthday!!
You should've been born in St Helena too for the ultimate reincarnation
@icebulb I was born on a island does that count that Napoleon is my Grandfather!?!?!?
Yeah😎😎
There is nothing we can do…
😔
Tbh I Wished He Conquered Europe So I Could Be Born French And Be As Great As Him
Go get that double nationality
Oversimplified country ball version
Yessir
Napoleon did the same mistake as Hitler, Attacking Russia
Yup, never invade Russia when winter approaches
His mystake was too stay too longer in moscou
Mamaluks?
Yeah, the mamluks
@@icebulb wasn’t it the ottomans? The mamaluks were defeated by the ottomans nearly 300 years before Napoleon
also you are so underrated
Yeah Egypt was a province within the Ottoman Empire in which the Mamluks (or Mamelukes) had autonomy over the region and they paid taxes to the Ottoman empire
Edit: spelling mistake
Thank you!
This 8 minutes video explained the Napoleonic wars 100x better than the film (Guys pls don't watch that, it's fu*king sh*tty and NOT worth it)
Thanks! :)
I see some potential in your channel, however this video is mostly general Napoleonic knowledge, not the "Near-death experience nobody talks about".
I kind of agree although in my case, there was some some stuff I was unaware off, I'm still not sure if I should already assume my viewers are history pros or not when making a video
@@icebulb Well you could've explained the story of Napoleon, not in much detail (instead of 6-7 minutes shorten it to 1-2) or just didn't say the story at all. Everyone knows who Napoleon is
Just like the movie you didn't even mention Prussia until after the Russian campaign. Jena Auerstedt or Eylau were crucial especially to the further militarization of Prussia in the 1800s
Yes, I had to leave off some details, otherwise the video would last 5 hours, and I've spent 1 month and 4 days working full time on UA-cam, even weekends to produce an 8 minute video
@@icebulb yet you included a part about Spain. Its difficult for me to forgive just skipping the existence of a great European power that Prussia was considering it was like the fifth biggest player in the napoleonic wars (fr en at ru pr). A brief mention just like you did with the Iberian war would be satisfying for a summary as to simply not break chronological continuity
@@icebulb also wasn't the vid called "summarising napoleon better than the movie"? If so then nice for predicting whatever mess came of the film lol
Yes, I'm trying different titles, it's a common practice between content creators, to see which one is more clickable
No no no no no no no no no you no you no you no you no you no no
This is not 8:00 minutes it is 8:01 minutes
You're right😔
@@icebulb it was a good video tho 👍 I love it
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@icebulb thanks

Top comment so far
Ancestry
Im not sure what you mean...but yes
Erm 8:01 seconds 🤓
I might even change the title😂😂
Listen up everyone here and I am ending this because you guys don’t understand that we don’t believe in the same Jesus. Catholics pray to Mary the mother of Jesus the jahova witness and mormons believe there is one god yet no trinity and some believers believe the trinity are separate beings. Muslims don’t think Jesus got crucified and Jewish people don’t believe the New Testament and don’t delineate Christmas knowing it has the word Christ in it as well as some believers think their is a heavenly mother. We don’t believe the same Jesus
Dude, what the flip
Holy Roman Empire really farted and became a balloon at the same time
Vive Napoleon 🇨🇵
