- Napoleon Vs Tripods: What If War of the Worlds Happened In Napoleonic Era is a video by pupbenny theorising what might have happened if HG Wells The War Of The Worlds story had happened in France during the Napoleonic times and Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte had to face the Martian Fighting Machines with his Grande Armée to defend Paris from Invaders From Mars. It's thanks to making this video that I discovered PikaLabs, which I've used to bring it to life. :)

H.G. Wells The War Of The Worlds is a story by British author Herbert George Wells in which alien visitors from Mars arrive in space capsules first in Horsell Common near Woking in Surrey. This is at first thought to be a meteorite by the English men that discover this cylinder with the astronomer Ogilvy exclaiming that the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. However, as the Narrator explains, Martian creatures soon make themselves present before using a Heat Ray to disintegrate some of the English people. They soon begin using massive Tripod Fighting Machines and using weapons such as the heat-ray as well as the black smoke begin to lay waste to the British army, leaving people such as the Artilleryman and the protagonist separated from everyone including his wife, and with the defeat of the ironclad torpedo ram HMS Thunder Child the Royal Navy as well succeeding in defeating the biggest Empire in human history, The British Empire at the height of it's power in the Victorian age in which H G Wells wrote the novel. The Martians very quickly establish a dominion over man as they spread their Red Weed across the Earth reaching the capital city of Britain London the Fighting-Machines cause great devastation. Other methods of transport the martian invaders use include the Handling-Machines as well as the Flying-Machines.
On paper there have been many illustrated editions of the story, the first of which were done by Warwick Goble in the original serial version. Relatively soon after, Alvim Correa drew his illustrations. Henrique Alvim Corrêa was a Brazilian artist who traveled to London in 1902 to present H. G. Wells with drawings that he'd done for the story of The War Of The Worlds and there have since been many been many illustration versions by artists such has Edward Gorey and Lou Cameron. There have also been audio adaptations of HG Wells War Of The Worlds, including the infamous 1938 Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the iconic 1978 album Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds. Later on, there's been Steven Spielberg's 2005 War Of The Worlds starring Tom Cruise and The Great Martian War 1913-1917 documentary style drama set in World War 1. Recently, the BBC made a TV miniseries the BBC British TV series war of the worlds and FOX, Epic and StudioCanal did a TV series starting in 2019 called War Of The Worlds that claims to be adapted from the source material. There has also been several war of the worlds movies recently as well, including 2021 War Of The Worlds, also known as Alien Conquest, which had a sequel called War Of The Worlds Annihilation and this year in 2023 War Of The Worlds The Attack. There have also been many indie games and art with a survival horror war of the worlds 2005 game which will be a multiplayer survival game based on the Tom Cruise War Of The Worlds movie as well as a faithful adaptation of HGWells War Of The World game set in the Victorian era by GelatoDev and TeamGreen with Team Green also making their survival game a multiplayer war of the worlds game as well and there's another announced in 2023 called The War of the Worlds: Siberia. There's also The War Of The Worlds 1913 game which is a worthwhile, fun and nicely stylised adaption of H G Wells The War Of The Worlds.

I absolutely love the concept that Napoleon instead of seeing a threat would see a challenge. This is actually some pretty solid Alt. History stuff tbh
"There is nothing we can do..."
- Napoléon Bonaparte during the Martian invasion somewhere in between XVIII - XIX centuries
XD
Since the British Army in the original failed, and the American Army failed in both the 1950s and the 21st century, I suspect the Martians will have the same initial success against Le Grande Armee but will be taken down by the same tiny little Grognard bacteria that won the other fights.
This was meant to be a silly, quick video, I spent waaay too long on it LMAO.
After making some photoshops of Napoleonic War paintings with Tripods in, I was thinking 'I wonder if there's a tool that could quickly animate these' and after looking and thinking there wasn't, I then discovered PikaLabs which does just that lol. A very helpful and impressive tool to say the least.
An interesting video, well made to be honest, very fun.
There is already a cowboys vs tripods, so why not?
@@rapatacush3 Really?
@@Historyfan476AD yup, short history of three cylinders crashlanding on a small texas town. Night of the cooters is called.
@@rapatacush3 Ah, how can the humans even hurt the tripod though? Do they get cannons?
The only argument against the scenario I could make is that the Avalanche would have, with the Wellsian tripods at least, worked probably
Yeah, very good point! I was debating whether to make it succeed or not. In the end I did it this way as I wanted a moment of hopelessness (mainly due to the 'There is nothing we can do' meme), so I decided to make the somewhat vague statement that one of them emerged and leave it up to the viewer to decide whether the plan was mostly successful and just that one that managed to survived or whether more did as well. (Although, of course, the visuals I put in the video seem to indicate more than one survived, so that probably destroys the vagueness I was hoping for. I intended the pictures to just be there as a representation of what's going on.)
This is genuinely awesome! I always think more of if Germany was the invasion target, (due to the great martian war) but this is very good!
Imagine, a line of naval ships firing upon a bunch of have submerged tripods
That would be very cool.
I love how you are Telling this Story with different Shots of Video Games, Photoshopped Pictures and Animations.
"yo" to an AI chatbot is a vibe i wish to encapsulate for myself
Napoleon would totally wreck all the aliens barehanded 100%
100%.
I was hoping to the Martians landing on England, but this was very good, specially for the IA images
I was wondering if it was AI or not.
I'd imagine that, rather quickly, the Napoleonic Wars would end shortly, leaving the conflict previously on the back burner to focus on the new threat. Britain, Prussia, Russia and Austria would all, reluctantly, join together to deal with the martians.
this was an absolutely awesome video, there were times where i chuckled to myself cuz its meant to be a funny video by design. i know you get a few suggestions here and there but i would love to see one of your in depth analysis videos of the great Martian war 1913-1917. honestly man i love what you do and always tune in to see new videos and they make me smile when a new one drops, please don`t stop what you do. i love seeing it.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them! :) And yeah, I've been intending to do one of the great martian war. I have a lot planned at the moment so I don't know if it'll be nay time soon, but I've seen it twice and have been meaning to rewatch it to do videos about it.
@@pupbenny no problem, anytime, I am free for suggestions anytime, so if you need a video of war of the worlds,you have someone to come to :)
awesome video, but one detail I must quickly say, the tripods, specifically the 05 tripods (As shown in this video) don't actually come out of the cylinders, they actually climb out of the ground, after the Aliens ride lightning down into the tripods.
This is one of my favorites from you now
I’ve been exploring the idea of War of the Worlds in the Napoleonic era, but mine turned into a survival story about ordinary people, because I had the idea that, since the aliens had been closely studying earth, as mentioned by Wells, comparing it to a man studying bacteria in a microscope, the invaders knew exactly who humanity’s leaders were. In my scenario, Napoleon would never have had the chance to rally his troops, because the first thing the tripods do is annihilate Paris, targeting Napoleon’s palace first, as well as all France’s other leaders, as well as the Grande Armee. Essentially, in this scenario Napoleon is hunted down and killed by the invaders within minutes. Same with all Britain’s leaders and Austria’s and all other nations. I suppose I wanted the aliens to think more strategically, which makes them even more formidable. They don’t want humans rallying and therefore eliminating anyone behind whom people can rally is the first thing they do.
The way the tripod in this image is just like "Fuck..." i can't get over it lmao, 11:04
If it's the original book Tripods, my money's on Napoleon. I'm thinking of all kinds of Ewok vs. AT-ST Return of the Jedi nonsense happening.
0:25
Lmao I never know Pupbenny was the history nerd like me.
I feel like cannons would be incredibly effective against the tri-pods.
After all.. a massive metal ball smacking an tri-pod going incredibly fast would be enough to possibly take it down.
(I don’t know much about tri-pods since I haven’t seen the films or films)
Well they don’t have BS energy shields like the ones in the 2005 Spielberg movie.
1890s artillery *could* take them down with a lucky hit in the original book, and the dreadnought HMS Thunderchild managed to destroy three of them before getting sunk. But those were exceptions and the Martians could generally clear a battlefield without any serious damage. Replace the much faster, explosive-tipped artillery shells of the time with Napoleonic cannonballs fired from guns that aren’t even designed to aim very high and it’ll be even harder.
Really, it depends on the tripod adaptation, the Correa/Wells could obviously be taken down, but the 2005’s shield could prove it invincible
Same with the 1953 War Machines.
@@ReluctantWarrior yes, the 53’ could survive a nuke
Ok now I want a Book :D
(It is just so Great)
France would have lasted longer than the UK military did, due to the French armies sheer numbers and the fact they likely would fight like devils for France. Likely some heroic French Unit would have performed a Thunder child moment. The only problem I think is that artillery of this era is even more inaccurate and less mobile than the one used by the British in 1898. Napoleon just has to make France last long enough for the Germs to kill of the fighting machines and their Martian pilots.
I would say there would not be any way a thunderchild like ship rescue could work since without the metal hull the ship would be sunk in one blast and unable to ram the Tripods either, nor fire it's guns in a way to hit oncoming Tripods. Any well the civilian ships would get sunk without any time being brought by the heroic sacrifice of the French ship which takes the place of Thunderchild.
but the only thing humans had even in 1898 that could hurt the tripods was artillery but in this era artillery was rifled and field artillery at the time could hit at a kilometre away very accurately. infantry and cavalry were useless against massive metal walking things. so i not can not see how "massive french armies" would do anything but give the tripods more things to shoot at. only the artillery regiments could be of use. but at this time artillery was smoothbore and muzzle loaded with a max accurate range 0f 150-300 meters and a less accurate range 400-800 meters. the tripods walk through human rifled artillery with ease in the 1898 book only losing a few tripods. in this era where artillery is even worse i can not see how napoleon would even be able to do anything different to other generals like wellington in this scenario. humans are simply not advance enough in this time period to even stand a chance.
@@accountreality1988 True, maybe a lucky shot might hit one. But the Numbers thing I was more suggesting they would just have manpower to throw at the tripods to slow them down by having to Heat Ray so many.
Likely the only really chance for the French artillery would be if they can ambush the tripod with cannon fire or from high up fortified positions. But this trick will work only once as the Tripods will just alter tactics and use the black smoke and then heat ray everything. Like how they countered British artillery in the book.
Maybe rigging up some huge explosives might slow the tripods down, but I doubt it.
I would never say the French could have beat them of course, but that it would take longer for the tripods to wipe out the French army due to their sheer numbers.
@@Historyfan476ADalso remember the cannons used in the Napoleonic times was black powder, far less powerful then the smokeless powder artillery used in1898. there could be a chance that the Napoleonic era cannon is not heavy or powerful enough to penetrate tripod armour.
@@accountreality1988 There is that as well, The armour in the book if my mind remembers right is thick Aluminium I think. I actually think the Guns will never get a shot off as the Tripods heat weapon has a range of the horizon being a heat weapon.
In the book, the only reason the army got to fire a few shots was due to surprise and the fact they where hidden in tree lines or in bushes.
@@Historyfan476AD not sure about the claim that the tripods were made out of aluminium. i have not read the book in years either but i can not at all remembered the author mentioning aluminium or really any description of what the tripods were made out off. just that they were massive metal things with legs. if you could find a line that mentions this it would be interesting.
An Austrian physician came up with a sort of version of germ theory in 1762. Maybe the survivors would have made the connection?
Oh my goodness, four days after release I suddenly realise Napoleon was spelt wrong in the title LMAO.
Literally the FIRST word of the title....
Next Georgij Konstantinovič Žukov and Stalin vs the Tripods
The Red Army Vs The Red Planet. That sounds epic.
Oh merde!😂 How wonderfully absurd and I can almost hear the spirit of Graham Chapman's colonel character saying " Stop that, it's silly. No-one likes a good alien invasion more than me, except of course my wife, oh and some of her friends"...Tri-effel tower, really!🤣 Good fun and an interesting alternative history, but still very silly!😂
Ha, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
@@pupbenny What's not to like about Wellsian Martians?!
nice
I just watched the new Ridley Scott Napoleon movie last night lol, I would have enjoyed it a lot more if this had been the plot
pupbenny: ...the greatest military general in history...
Alexsander the Great wants to know your location.
I farted but shat my pants. You cant trust even yourself
this would go hard as a video game
It's funny you should say that.... (This comment will age very well.)
@@pupbenny i hope it does
he would try to colonize the tripods and then mate with them all
LOL!
I was expecting the first iteration of the Tripod,not the wannabe 2005
What War of the Worlds game is in the background?
You should do a review of the 1953 the war of worlds.
I watched that the other day so I probably will do soon. :)
Hey I know you may not do video suggestions but I’m wondering if you would talk about people making war of the worlds analog horror on Reddit.
It’s really interesting in what the WOTW community will do to the tripods to make them look horrifying
Is that the Falaise Water Tower Incident? If so, I've seen some of the art on Reddit and really liked the look of it, but I don't know a lot about it and didn't look that much into it as I read that the the creator isn't happy about it and "it’s not something that they want on the internet as of this time". So I wouldn't really want to do anything without permission. Let me know if you know the full story. :) (Or if you were referring to something else lol.)
@@pupbenny fair enough
I mean if I’m honest I know pretty much nothing about it either lol
There's nothing we can do
What ai chatbots did you use
Not gonna like I think the aliens are gonna win
Edit oh it’s the 2005 version
