That's actually an amazing punishment.

He never said that Russia didn't use scorched earth tactics, he merely said that the napoleonic troops burned down Moscow which in fact truly happened, just look it up.
One of the missing troops was my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. He was injured and left by the French somewhere which is now the border of Poland and Ukraine and he later moved to Piaseczno a town under Warsaw.
Napoleon The Disaster is what we call him. Napoleon’s colossal disasters completely erase ALL of his victories, and by no means did his territorial occupations lead to complete conquests and subjugation of enemy forces. A conqueror does not later get conquered himself like Napoleon did, that is not the way it works. Napoleon’s colossal disasters prove that he was less than brilliant. Egypt was a disaster (one of the worst plans in military history). Spain was a disaster (unwisely attacking your one ally that had been able to go toe to toe with your biggest enemy, Britain), Russia was the WORST disaster in military history (nuff said). Leipzig was a disaster (all of the veteran soldiers and generals that Napoleon carelessly wasted in senseless campaigns came back to haunt him with less experienced commanders and untrained soldiers). Waterloo was Napoleon’s fault for foolishly dividing his army and rushing into battle. In the end Napoleon left France in tired, defeated, in huge debt, forced to pay 700 million francs in reparations, occupied, and forced to revert to her 1790 borders. Also under Napoleon, France sold Louisiana Territory for pennies on the dollar (The fledgling United States takes advantage of Napoleon and rips France off), and France lost their most prosperous colony, Haiti, to a slave revolt. That’s right, Napoleon lost to slaves fighting with rocks and sticks. That is not great leader. I don’t want a leader who will leave my country occupied, defeated and loss of territory. Because of Napoleon, France would NEVER challenge Britain again, and the Pax Britannica would last 100 years. That is why Napoleon was a huge blessing in disguise for Britain. Honestly, it is shameful that France created an unwarranted monument (Arc de Triomphe) to themselves, glorifying battles in wars that France actually lost because of Napoleon, as France deceptively tries to portray that Napoleon was a triumph when he was NOT.

I’ve always been interested in the Napoleonic wars. I’ve been to re-enactments and played online games (Mount and Blade, Total War) Re-enactments online. It’s just so interesting to think about the battles from the perspective of the soldiers.
Napoleon won the Battle of Borodino prior to moving onto Moscow, but he failed to capitalize on it. The retreating Russian forces were able to quickly replenish their ranks. After leaving Moscow behind (which was burned by Russians, by the way, as part of “scorched earth”), the French started moving back to France. The Russians continued to pursue and harass them, whittling down their numbers even further. Napoleon’s big mistake was assuming that taking Moscow would force Russia’s surrender. Nope.
Yup. He should have realized that primitive slavic culture and stubbornness meant he had to kill them all or they wouldn't realize how much of a bad situation they were in and wouldn't surrender. Until the winter decided to save the Russians of course... Like it always does...russia gets to live twice just because of the winter. If it wasn't for the winter, Russia would have been genocided by Napoleon and later by Hitler...
This show is almost comedy In every episode, Sharpe and his two mates take down an entire cavalry division by themselves. It's like if a CoD campaign was set in the Napoleonic Wars....

He also forgot to mention that Napoleon sent 3 armies to invade Portugal and 3 times he failed (the 3rd time being expelled by the British and Portuguese ay combined).

Hello VC3 I've become a big fan of yours in the last 3 weeks and I want to make videos just like you. So I have a few questions for you. #1 What Microphone do you have #2 how do you make your animations #3 what kind of editing software do you use btw your channel is really underrated and I love your videos (especially the ones about Scandinavia)
BEASTIEMAN 420 History is great, as long as you realize that it is a collection of SUBJECTIVE narratives. And usually, you are hearing the version of history written by the winners, not necessarily the true story. My dad was a diplomat and so I grew up in several different countries. What always amazed me as a boy in school 10-18 is that when I moved to a new country every 2-3 years, the version of history I was taught in schools was very different.
History is garbage cause it's subjective and each nation has its own version of History and nobody know what the true History is (especially not the one that you learn in high school)
He wasn’t there for any of them. The first one was successful though. Duke of Wellington won Porto back by kicking french out then saved it again with lines of Torres Vedras
1st invasion was successful but was cut off when the Spanish revolted ser arthur wellesley landed in pirtugal with 25,000 men and defeated the invaded french forces of 11k men under junot 2nd invasion was by me but i only stopped at porto for resupply and rest the army after storming it but was then surprised by wellesley at porto and drew me out back to galicia in spain third invasion was by massena which is THE failure since the torres vedras stopped massenas army and soon starve outside of lisbon forcing him to retreat and thats it
Actually The king Louis the 16th wanted to start taxing the Church and the nobility not the third estate (they were already taxed heavily much of which went into the pockets of the nobility). This lead to the meeting with all three estates where because the nobility and church did not want heavier taxes they overruled the king. But this assembly was unfair against obviously the third estate which lead to them forming their own national assembly. SO no it wasn't just taxes of the third estate that started the thing. it was in trying to increase the taxes of the rich this started.
First of all when he reached the Russia and Moscow the city was empty as other small villages. By the time he burned Moscow tjere were a lot of casulties as the Russian soldiers relied on gurilla tactics in the destroyed city which worked even when troops began to move forward out of the city. This made Moscow not secure and let Napoleon push forward even when he was losing which led to hos defeat.
I hate when people use the painting of the woman in the yellow dress holding the Tricolore when talking about the French Revolution. That painting was based on the Revolution of 1830, better known as the July Revolution (not be confused with the Iraqi one of the same name)

My history teacher showed us this video today, and I think I was the only person that knew that the music was aquatic ambience from Donkey Kong Country.
Though it's incredible how Napoleon returned to the power (at least kind of) after being exiled. He took a boat, rowed it away till he reached France. The King of France at that time Louis XVIII, caught the wind of this, and sent his troops to capture/kill him. But then something happened which the king totally didn't expect. As soon as the troops met Napoleon, he stepped down from his horse and walking towards them casually, said, "Go ahead, shoot your own emperor. " And somehow turned the WHOLE army to *his* side, *alone*. And headed towards France to take it back, and the King pissed himself and ran away knowing that. And you know the rest. Source: Khan Academy. (And btw, they don't really say in the video that "he pissed himself " that's just an addition I did.)
It doesnt matter... What matters at is always the bigger figure by all means it was Napoleon who died. Same thing as for example West Ham vs Barcelona (2-0 West ham victory) the news won´t be " West ham won Barcelona" the only thing that will matter is " Barcelona lost"
Everyone complaining here already knows, so why are they here? I think this was a good job. I came to just get a brief overview before I jump into the bulk of subject. Let them eat cake! or go suck an egg.
Did most people want a constitutional monarchy? I don't know whether they did or not, but an explicit statement like that needs referencing otherwise it's just a biases statement. I always saw it as there were those that wanted the king to be part of the new government and those that did not.
Napoleon once said that Russia only has 2 great generals: January and February.

is that the donkey kong water ambience in the background?
Though it's incredible how Napoleon returned to the power (at least kind of) after being exiled.
He took a boat, rowed it away till he reached France. The King of France at that time Louis XVIII, caught the wind of this, and sent his troops to capture/kill him. But then something happened which the king totally didn't expect.
As soon as the troops met Napoleon, he stepped down from his horse and walking towards them casually, said, "Go ahead, shoot your own emperor. " And somehow turned the WHOLE army to *his* side, *alone*. And headed towards France to take it back, and the King pissed himself and ran away knowing that. And you know the rest.
Source: Khan Academy. (And btw, they don't really say in the video that "he pissed himself " that's just an addition I did.)
Anyone notice the background music is the underwater theme from donkey Kong snes
Bruv Napeoleon never conquered Portugal , just Spain , he came to Portugal 3x and were defeated.
Beatz [KKK] He has occupied Portugal for almost a year to a full year before being ousted.
It doesnt matter... What matters at is always the bigger figure by all means it was Napoleon who died. Same thing as for example West Ham vs Barcelona (2-0 West ham victory) the news won´t be " West ham won Barcelona" the only thing that will matter is " Barcelona lost"
He was agians whole of wuropw you dumb shit
He was against whole wurope you dumb shit
I didn't know this man had wreaked havoc in the entire europe bro.
Everyone complaining here already knows, so why are they here? I think this was a good job. I came to just get a brief overview before I jump into the bulk of subject. Let them eat cake! or go suck an egg.
Russia: Only Russia messes up Russia okay France?!

Winter : it's because you guys are so weak I have to save you always! Shut up and go to your room Putin...
Donkey Kong country 1, 2, and 3 have the best game sound tracks
Wait is that donkey kong music I hear when ur under water dodging the squids?
Dude used Donkey Kong Country water level music. Nice.
Clint Eastwood said it best about people like Napoleon "A Man's Got to Know His Limitations"
Did most people want a constitutional monarchy? I don't know whether they did or not, but an explicit statement like that needs referencing otherwise it's just a biases statement. I always saw it as there were those that wanted the king to be part of the new government and those that did not.
THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND IS DANK AS HELL I LOVE THAT SONG its called Aquatic Ambience by Funk Fiction
Isn't it the donkey Kong underwater level music
