  • Was Napoleon the greatest conqueror ever? What do we know about him?
    He was the man who established the First French Empire. To the French people he was a hero. To the French royalty he was their demise. Napoleon Bonaparte was a scourge to European leaders, but the countries he conquered joined a vast empire spanning from Spain into Russia.
    Along with his control over Europe, Napoleon Bonaparte conquered territories in the West Indies, Americas, and Northern Africa. Napoleon may have been the greatest conqueror history has ever seen.
    Napoleon Bonaparte was born on August 15, 1769 on Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Just before his birth the island of Corsica was conquered by French forces, making baby Napoleon and his family subjects of King Louis XV.

      The difference is that in ww2 the majority of french troops were commanded to surrender, so they didn't engage in battles, while in the war of 4th coalition all prussian troops engaged in battles but still lost completely.

      Napoleon didn't have great odds in fact his france had the highest population in europe even greater than russia and he didnot face the gigantic enormous American industry like ww2. So he had it pretty easy. And most of the countries were divided and not galactic empires like in ww2.
      For eg: in napoleonic france period there was no unified germany, uk was not quite the galantic empire yet. America was pretty much just born, austria was messed up and Russia did not have the biggest population. And despite this advantages he still lost but if you compare it to ww2 the germans were certainly the undergo not to mention fight the whole world with so much limitation and all...

The Infographic channel said that Napoleon got most of his fame that will lead to him being the emperor in the battle of Toulon and when he fired cannons to royalists, but they forgot that he actually got most of his fame from the battle of Marengo which destroyed the Holy Roman empire's army and because of that Vienna was defenseless. Because if that they were able to make peace as well as ceding northern italy to France. 3. the estimated people that were killed by the guillotine was actually 40.000. 4. They really need to say that after the war of the third coalition the Holy Roman empire was dissolved and also Napoleon created the confederation of the Rhine. 4. The narrator says that Napoleon is ruthless (not directly) because he declared many wars that in which he didn't actually declared but his enemies declared but really is he? No, he even made the Napoleonic code which got the inspiration from the Justinian Code or the Corpus Juris Civilis and just like the Justinian Code it is a civil code. Not the first but first to be spread world wide. 5. The flag of Austria isn't the (from top to bottom) red, white, and red but it's actually a horizontal black and yellow. 6. They didn't said anything about the peninsular war. 7. Napoleon was defeated in Waterloo because of the Prussians and they did NOT helped the British repel the french, rather Prussian army general Blucher decided to attack from behind or the flank (I forgot). Rumor then sirculated throughout the french army that the prussians were going to attack them from behind. Not wanting that the french began to flee for dear life.

    The video is a bit tainted by the UK point of view, even if mostly okay, two things are not accurante in this video :
    By 1805 Napoléon was indeed planning to invade the UK because they actually broke the treaty of Amiens of 1802 by refusing to free Malta like they promised. Pitt the Young was wishing the return of the war which happened in 1803 by a new declaration of war from him. Napoléon moved his armies to the east before Trafalgar because Bavaria and Baden - actual allies of France - were invaded by Austria because the UK actually payed Austrians and Russians to declare war on France. Why did the UK pay these empires for a war? To occupy the french on the continent in the case where the french could cross the channel (if Trafalgar had been a victory).
    A bit different than "Napoleon wanted to submit Europe" ;) !
    + Nope, Napoléon did not declare war on any country in 1815, instead the UK and its allies declared him as ennemy of the humanity, it's the litteral title they gave him.
    Napoléon was not marching on Wellington for conquering land, he was trying to separate the british and the prussian armies because together they outnumbered his forces, just like the 700 000 men who were marching on France by 1815.
    Napoléon was not a diplomat, but there is a bias in the video even if slight bias.
