"France... The Army... Head of the army... Josephine..." -Napoleon Last Word
@John Ass always loved that history fact
buuut.. in the same time, like that french austrian queen with louis XVI, who say something like "who cant buy bread, just give them cake" how can you be sure that's the truth? nobody was there, not like when that queen step on the feet of her executer and excuse herself for that, evryone was there so there no question this happen, but here.. except napoleon's friend.. in my opinion, and you can't deny it, was just another propaganda. like evryone did.
🔥🔥🔥
@@Kevinopn huh... What?
@@John_Ass don't trust evrything in the book pal', there no real proof he said that, certainly some napoleon follower who wanted to end it like a rockstar. Wouldn't surprise me with all that propaganda napoleon built around him
If you're wondering he was about 5'6". Thing is French inches were a bit bigger than the English ones so when people in England heard he was only about 5'3" they just took the ball and ran with it. Also, he was often depicted standing among his Old Guard, an elite unit of veteran troops who were usually picked for their size as well, (you had to be at least 6' to join.) So a normal-sized man being surrounded by the Basket Ball players of their time is going to look like a manlet no matter what.
“This man is a FAKE!”
“It’s not faking, it’s called exaggeration!”

I wonder what Napoleon's school time bullies thought when he made himself the emperor.

My favourite Napoleon's quote:
"God fights on the side with the best artillery"
America during ww2
@@maximeperez-raymond3346 Not really, but also yes.
About 500,000 Nazi soldiers died fighting Britain AND the US combined. Over 2,000,000 died fighting Russia alone. Didn't have a whole lot to do with artillery, and didn't have a whole lot to do with America. The eastern front was a lot bloodier, and the English world has a tendency to teach a biased perspective of the war.
If anything, I'd say the US played a major role in protecting European democracies after Russia was done steamrolling through the continent, and saving Asia from Japanese conquest. Russia definitely wanted to incorporate a huge chunk of Europe into itself, but ally pressure (especially American) pretty much prevented this.
I mean it's true even in today's warfare in some extent
😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
@@andrehaugvaldstad Think Soviet Union would have unified Germany under them but not gone much further...USSR was wrecked from the war as well and by the time they recovered from the war France would have recovered as well (like in the real time line) and trying to go right to the channel and beyond may have not been worth their effort. Might have tried to infiltrate French/British governments though (even in real timeline Communist party was pretty powerful in France).
Napoleon wasn't stupid, no. Stubborn and ambitious? Oh yes, and that's what did him in.
At time of Russian invasion, his previous victories and massive army had already inflated his ego too much. Overall, dictators will always make mistakes because they very small number of advisors that will have smaller number of advisors that will dare to actually be straight with them. And Power just generally goes to people's head.
I mean he was stupid when it came to diplomacy. Yes he was a genius in military sense, but thats not enough to besuccesfull (for too long). You need actual strong connections, actual allies, you need to make your subjects (satellites) happy with the alliance. He failed at that
And yet it was also his legacy
Incredibly sharp and talented but he could never have enough
Napoleon is considered one of the best generals of all time in his ability to consistently defeat all the other major powers of Europe at the same time, but what makes him also great was his ability to revitalize France and be a good leader to his people. He brought equality to the nation and dissolved any form of slavery in his empire except in the Carribean, though he made one of his black generals the leader of Haiti at the time as well as having another one lead much of his forces. In that sense he was able to bring Equality to France to everybody except women which is often why he is looked upon favorable in history
"I defeated the Austrians, by simply marching" i had the dame reaction as yours 😂😂
even though Napoleon declared himself an Emperror he was much nicer to simple people like peasants and workers than other monarchs of his time, he allowed them to have education and career, thats one of his success secrets.
I'd probably side with him over the other monarchies.
yeah and I'd imagine there would be a lot of work since he like reformed every aspect of the country
The main thing that distinguished him was he didn’t believe in divine right, he wasn’t a monarch chosen by God, he was chosen by the people (in his idea anyway)
Yeah.. something that most monarchs at that time until World Wars I and II, doesn't like to do...
Why do so many in media depict him as a bad guy?
Napoleon liberated my country. Poland. We see him as great hero and we sing about him in Polish Anthem
Dał nam przykład Bonaparte jak zwyciężać mamy
Bonaparte gave us example how to win.
He liberated, but only as his vassal, who does not have freedom and sovereignty, who is obliged to follow all orders, and take part in all wars, a dubious "liberation", or rather interception of suzerainty from one country to another.
@@alexpug5162 Napoleon gave the Duchy of Warsaw a lot of freedom. We had our own Saxon King Poniatowski, our own currency, our own laws (the Napoleonic Code, but our own laws) etc. In fact, the only thing the French controlled was the foreign policy of the Duchy of Warsaw. And the only war to which Napoleon called us was the invasion of Russia and he didn't force us at all. We ourselves wanted to attack Russia in order to liberate more Polish territories from the Russian occupation. Out of Napoleon's 650,000 soldiers, 100,000 were Poles, and take into account that the Duchy of Warsaw was quite a small country.
@@alexpug5162 for the Poles it's still better under French boots rather than Russian ones.
@@alexpug5162 a lot of freedom was given to the puppet states, as said, only in external politics it had to follow france, but just as an alliance, and as we saw, the puppet states some swaped their allegance when it turned bad for france. In internal politics, only having a republican democracy with the common legislation was obliged, which wasn't the worst ever, quiete the contrary.
@Stefan Roseboom says the man with the 🇹🇼
The true legend, throughout history. He is the warlord who fight for his people and nation, one of the best emperor in French history.
I love his persistence, dedication and ambition. Hope we see a man like him someday in the future.
I loved how he made a man poo his pants
It's sad how Napoleon is talked about solely for his height. This guy is underrated
My favorite Napoleon quote: “to cannon, all men are equal.”
Dead
Egyptology had its origins in Napoleon's expedition. The artifacts and knowledge the scholars brought back sparked European interest in ancient Egypt.
Britain, for most of “modern” history, had one of the single most dominant Navies the world had ever seen. Events like the Spanish Armada are a perfect illustration of this. When you think about it, Britain logically had to prioritize their Navy; they’re a small island with relatively little land to defend and lots of ocean to watch and defend. Britain’s incredible navy was one of the reasons why they were able to so effectively export themselves in their colonization efforts. Nobody quite held a colony like the British Empire did
The Austrians disrespected him by not giving him a chance to fight
Sheesh lol
Napoleon was far better than monarchy or the government after the revolution. And in addition, the history is wrote by the winners, so in my opinion Napoleon wasn’t that bad, but it’s just my opinion.
He's a sexist, big-headed murderer... but compared to the other monarchs he's a saint since he cares about the general well-being of his citizens.
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 exactly, at this Time every monarchies are « bad » for us nowdays, but Napoleon was one of the « best ».
@@juanmanuelpenaloza9264 We can't jugde the people of the past using today moral standars. What for us is bad for them was normal.
WE could say that, in this time, it was written by himself
you see that, he releashed his memories in all of europe
so, maybe his story was writeen by himself
@@flaggy185 maybe or maybe not, because maybe others kings changed some parts of the memories. We can’t know exactly what happen bécote.
He said at the end of his life
“I want to rest on the river side of the Seine.
Between the french people that I love so much”
I love my emperor
28:15 Fun fact about Louis: The Dutch people loved him, because he helped the Dutch when major disasters happen and he called himself "Het konijn van Holland" (The Rabbit from Holland) instead of "De koning van Holland" (The King of Holland)
Latin American countries ( for the most part ) exist thanks to Napoleon From Colombia to Argentina.
That’s completely true, there would be no Latin America without Napoleon
In Brazil's case, the Portuguese royal family fleed to Brazil, making Rio de Janeiro the capital of Portugal from 1808 to 1821. Then, when they came back to Lisbon, the king's son stayed and declared the independence of Brazil with him as the Emperor
If Napoleon hadn't invaded Portugal before all of that, Brazil as we know would probably not even exist
@@raphaelostrowski6336 Wrong, Bolivar San Martin and the Latin American people brought their own independence.
You are wrong. Napoleon was a self-interested military dictator, he had no interest in helping Latin America, he wanted it as part of his Empire. But Bolivar, San Martin did care for independence.
For the record he was five feet, seven inches tall, which is really just about average height for the time (today in America average height for men is 5' 10" tall). The reputation for being short was partly British Propaganda to literally belittle him, mostly by British political cartoonist James Gillray who called him (and drew him as) "The Little Corporal".
I'm french. Just so you know, we almost erased Napoleon from our history books. All we remember is the battle of Waterloo and Trafalgar. Kinda sad really.
For me,Napeleon is a natural leader, he didn't become a dictator for his selfish deeds, he rule and govern france to make it better, freedom of religion, disolving monarchs and creating equality to all men. Yes it has flaws like trying to eradicated equality from the woman. But the point is, leaders of europe hate him because of the ideals of revolution to disolve monarchs, to take down their power and give it to the nation.
Without the idea of revolution from america and france, all nation might be serving monarchs,by means, monarchs dictator useless shits.
he did some awful decision, like, i don't know... bring back slavery.. i know, not because he was racist, but for the economic benefit, but he did, i'm surprise their was no word of it in those videos.. dictator or not, doing stuff like that for his country health, need a awful price of poor souls going down.. that's the issue here i guess.
But yea, france is the only country who win against EVRYONE multiple times, and free poor people being crushed by monarchies, that for sure, what a man he was.
During the period where northern italy was under French influence, Jews who were living in Ghettos with really strict limitations weren't under those limitations anymore.
@@olivierdk2 and.. WHY nobody talk about napoleon bringing back slavery? i mean, i know napoleon wasn't a racist and did it for economic reason, but WHY nobody talk about it like it wasn't a big deal?! 😣
@@Kevinopn In another comment i stated :
5:12 During the Revolution France had among others 2 black generals: Thomas Alexandre Dumas (father of the famous writer) and Toussaint Louverture. Until Napoleon came to power and reinstated slavery
@@olivierdk2 And i can't thank you enough for that 😀 i don't want to make problem, but all that slavery stuff have amazing stories behind it, why oversimplified didn't even once mention it, still a mystery for me.
29:39 - That's why the British song called Rule Britannia. "RUUUULE BRTITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES!" Seriously, nobody had a better navy than the British at that time.
Seeing as they're practically a big ass island surrounded by water, it makes since to have a pretty efficient navy force
@@syrusangi8743 practically? That's exactly what they are.
Surprisingly, Louis XIV's France until the early 1700s had a stronger navy but when Britain took the upper hand in the naval departement, they never left it until WW2.
Britain great geostrategic location meant focusing on the navy totally made sense. They didn't have to spend as much on land armies as France. Britain still took time to really have the largest navy in Europe probably because it didn't have a population as large as France or even Spain. But in the end, that perfect location paid off.
The Battle of Trafalgar is in fact only the end of a long descent into hell for the French navy which started during the Revolution.
In fact, during the Anglo-French War (1778-1783), during the context of American independence, the French Navy had been able, thanks to reforms, to take revenge on the Royal Navy since the Seven Years War.
However, the reinvigorated French Navy was severely weakened again, as it was the Nobles who ruled the Ships, and most of the Maritime Regions in France were Royalists. They therefore preferred to scuttle their own ships, rather than leave them to the Revolutionaries.
And that's without counting on the siege of Toulon, where in their flight, the British were still able to burn French ships at the port of Toulon, before the arrival of Bonaparte.
In the 1800's the British pretty much considered the world's oceans to be a British lake
Everyone thinks that napoleon invading Russia was dumb but you gotta think about it in his shoes. He had never lost before against Russia, with allies. So attacking just Russia he rightfully thought would be an easy task. But now we know that isn’t the case.
Easily the best military strategist, people think Julius ceaser but napoleon took on multiple powerful nations at once and won 5 times in a row
If it wasn’t for the British everyone would be speaking French now
He had never lost before against Russia, with allies - He was already losing in Spain.
And he was also in a very different situation, miles and miles away from France.
To not take all of it into account was... pretty stupid.
So attacking just Russia he rightfully thought would be an easy task - same as attacking Spain? Remember, he failed there too
what british? if it wasnt blucher the british at waterloo were doomed. napoleon was wining when blucher arrived. not he could ahve wont the war again .
Your surprise over nelson is startling. As a Brit the majority of what the school system teaches on the Napoleonic wars is through the exploits of admiral nelson, for he was as advantageous, smart and egotistical as Napoleon was on the continent. Plus his death in a epic battle basically made him a British legend. Obviously history is way more complex than the simple picture school paints, and in more recent years a lot of controversy has arisen due to his love life since he abandoned his wife for a Kardashian style celebrity and he was good friends with slave plantation owners (although his actual views on slavery are unknown). But he’s still a iconic figure and is probably as recognisable to the majority of brits as Washington is to America!
It hasn't even been 24 hours since OverSimplified released the video!
Yep lol
32:04 This was the largest charge of history.
Napoleon asked to Murat : "will you let us devor by thoses peoples ?".
Murat took all of the french cavalier he could, and lead the greatest charge of history.
no that goes to the hussars
@@painvillegaming4119 From what I can remember, the hussars where the biggest part in the biggest charge of history. But they were not alone.
When I say this was the largest, I'm talking about the largest charge made by a single army. But yeah, the charge where the hassars fought is the largest one.
@@leduoanime9156 with that specification, I will probably agree but am interested in how many were part of this charge ?
I love how he thinks this is the same Russia from ww1 and ww2. My dude this Russia got its but kicked by Sweden a century earlier.
😂😂😂😂 sheesh
It's Russian way Хъ, she gets her butt kicked, does some reforms, kicks ass for a couple of decades, and the circle goes on again
@m n Russian power has been exaggerated by the Cold War and Red Scare propaganda. It was only ever a threat post-WW2 and was never a major power on the scale of the likes of England, France, Spain, or a unified Germany before then. Austria-Hungary was on par with the Russian Empire, that's how much weaker Russia was than what most believe.
"One CENTURY before" as you said, Russia by the end of the 18th century and in the early 19th century was one of the greatest powers in Europe with France and Britain, it was the zenith of Imperial Russia. The WORST time to invade them.
WW1 Russia was actually relatively weak and is vastly overestimated. They struggled to industrialize and it was way easier fighting Russia in 1900 than it was in 1800.
But after the Russian Revolution, Russian managed to (finally) industrialize completely, thus becoming very powerful in the 1930s. Hitler faced that very strong Russia: like Napoleon he has no choice but to fight Russia when Russia was at its best.
It's incomparable with Russia in the 1600s (seriously), or with Russia in 1922 which was devastated by the Civil War that happened as a result of the revolution, and thus couldn't fight properly.
@@xenotypos Haven't you heard of the Great Northern War (1700 - 1721)? Yes, Russia won that one, but with a humiliating defeat at first and the fact they were allied with Norway and Polish Lithuania, it comes as a surprised that Sweden manage to hold them off easily, at first (though I guess it's more that Sweden is op). I'm just saying this isn't the steam rolling machine Russia from ww2. Hell saying Napoleon attacking Russia at it's best seems pretty impressive for him, since he burn Moscow and Russia only defeated him using Scorch Earth Tactics. I'm not arguing against you, just explaining my comment.
"1812, oh i heard about this one" 44:02
wrong war there
47:00 you speak from the point of view of already knowing the events. Both Napoleon and Hitler treated the invasion of Russia like any other European campaign they had bc it was a tactical victory, but not a strategic one
Only problem here is even before those 2 (or 2 depending how you count), there were other european countries that tried that and failed. In a similar manner.
So by the time hitler (especially) came, he could look at about 3 to 4 failed attempst at conquering russia but still was like '5th times the charm!'
It must be triggering for Napoleon to walk around getting called as short because people thought he was 5ft 2in but in reality, he's getting called short for being 5ft 7in - 5ft 9in tall.
This was the most satisfying and most stressful war ive ever seen
Literally felt I was on the edge of my chair they entire time lol
Nah man, he wasn't short. The average height at the time was 170 cm, at his death he was recorded to be around 170 cm. He was called short because of various reasons:
-the british and french inch systems were similar, but a little different, meaning that reading that as equal Napoleon would've resulted shorter than he was. Brits knew that, but decided to do this propaganda joke thing where they called him a dwarf. Actually general Wellington was shorter than Napoleon
-his guards were selected to be over 190 cm, meaning that when he was with them he would've looked short. I am 172 cm ans got a 194 cm friend, in a pic where we're side by side I look like his stool
-when doing parades and stuff his already tall guards had muskets with sabers as bayonets. Imagine a 170 cm guy surrounded by 190 cm dudes with muskets on their shoulders that have swords fixed as bayonets. The optical effect is the one of a dwarf surrounded by giants
It's crazy that 140 years later hitler try to follow the same thing that napoleon did and ended up invading Russia without winter clothes. Never understood these great leaders that wanna invade Russia but knowing winter in russia is horrible beyond comprehension, why just pack winter clothes and heat stuff like lanterns or anything I can say and just conquer Russia like that. It mind boggles because it something so easy to get it done like that without hesitation
They both thought the invasion would be over before winter arrived, and winter arrived early for both invaders.
If I was is a strong word after the fact. Napoleon did not have the map with movements we see here. He did not know the Russian plan. It is easy to judge him for this failure but we cannot judge him now.
He cannot not attack russia. There's barely anyone that's allied with Napoleon is actually a true ally. If he appeared weak by letting russia do his thing that opposes what he had demanded then the others would see it as an opportunity to attack france again.
And in the end, Russia showed that Napoleon can be resisted.
Sometimes you just get in too deep in the mess and there is no way out of it but to continue.
By the 1810-1811 most of europe was trading with Britain again. They couldnt *not* to, they were in economic crisis
And thats a neon sign of napoleons stupidity.
To not understand that you cant make so many countries unhappy and poor by forbidding them to trade with their original trading partner (and being unable to take Britains place in trade) is a sign of stupidity. In the end, Englands economy was great (because it owned 1/4 of the world and taxed it) and european economy was in shambles. All because of *one* man
Instead of being smart and either letting it go or making new treaties with the european countries, he chose arrogance and brutality.
Arrogance is everyones downfall.
Napoleone absolutely failed at diplomacy.

I think when napoleon drank that poison that was wrapped around his. It did not kill him,but it slowly killed him. So technically he was poisoned by himself. Also it said he a stomach ake, and he died because of stomach cancer. Coincidence, I think not.
That's what I'm thinking lol man did it to himself
Good point, never thought of it that way.
I mean...There's a multiple YEARS gap between when he drank that poison and died,so I think it's unlikely.

France Atleast Got inside the City Moscow Unlike the Germans Who were Little Off
Moscow wasnt that important in that time, it wasnt even the capital
thats why the russians burned it, because they werent that attached with them
the capital was Saint Petesburg, and Moscow only became the capital in the Soviet uprising (or close to that)
But Moscow wasn't the capital unlike today.
Napoleon Bonaparte was too prideful in my opinion, if he didn't refused to sign the "Frankfurt Proposals" or invaded Russia, his empire would have a better chance of survival with only Britain against him and not most EU nations attacking on every side.
Thats just a fact.
But I would argue his mistakes started with spain (which he invaded for the same reason). Russia was just a final nail in the coffin
Great reaction and great insights man! Subscribed!
Thanks g
Fun fact: Napoleon ACTUALLY did say that to Josephine at 34:06!
32:55 The reason that they did not learn from his new tactics is that they were new. They're very much was a kind of old way of fighting that a lot of the kingdoms that Napoleon encountered stuck to. Later on, when it shows that they were learning from his tactics, it was reinventing warfare for them. The prussians, Russians, in austrians and everyone else that he faced had a centuries or even millennia old way of looking at warfare that was massively outdated. They had a sort of gentleman's way of looking at it, but Napoleon fought to win no matter what new strategies he could think of.

Wow, one hour of reaction, VERY cool
Napoleon was more than a general. More than an emperor. He was a hero.
It took the continent europe to take down napoleon....
Literally 😂
Napoleon wasn't just one of the greatest generals in human history, he also pioneered/encouraged a lot of innovations:
1) Napoleonic Code, a French civil code of laws that modernised the civil laws of Europe, and influenced the civil laws of many countries around the world even to this day, like most of Latin America, the Middle East, European countries that was once under the French Empire like Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, etc., and their former colonies, even the state of Louisiana and the province of Quebec in Canada.
2) He ended the remnants of feudalistic laws in France and enacted better administrative policies, centralising the government, creating more efficient administrative divisions that are still used today, like the French departments and communes.
3) The invention of canned food, which Napoleon made a contest on who can best preserve food and make it easily carried by soldiers in their campaigns. Thus, the food in cans were created
4) The creation of the Braille language started as means to secretly relay messages, because written messages can be intercepted and plans can be exposed. It was an innovative way of communicating, and it was initially created by a French Captain, Cpt Barbier, and was later developed by the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris by a brilliant teenager called Louis Braille.
5) Napoleon's army discovered the Rosetta Stone in Egypt which is one of the most important archeological discoveries in history. It helped decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics, and helped the study of Ancient Egyptian and other ancient civilisations of that time.
6) Modernised military organisation and tactics of that time, and his military organisation is still used today like regiments and corps, and the advancement in the military based on merit, not bloodline and and connections to nobility.
I watched the series already but... i am here again :)

An other amazing history is about Lepic.
He was a colonel and lead an infantry regiment during the battle of Eylau.
But the regiment get lost because of the snow.
At the end they understand they were in the Russian lines, surrounded and outnumbered. An enemy officer came and ask him to surrender.
Lepic ansewered, designating his men: "look thoses faces, and tell me if it's look like they want to surrender".
Then he said to his soldiers : " Folks, we must today win or die, and there are 3 enemy lines we have to overthrow. Many of us will die ; but if even one of us could bring the information alive, the glory and honor of our flag will be saved ".
Then, his soldiers shouted : "Charge ! Charge ! And we shall pass ! "
They attack, and Lepic him self recereceived bayonets in legs, but at the end they won, and rejoint French lines.
Lepic was promoted by Napoleon himself.
One of my major issues with the recent Napoleon move is Juaquin Phoenix plays him with all the "charisma" of a dead fish, also *never* invade Russia in winter.
Let's get it 😄
33:08, literally my reaction to seeing part1 and part 2 in your video.

he thought '5th times the charm'
When you remember napoleon had a spy who was caught because he started eating garbage and stray animals and then let go because he willingly gave them what he was ordered to get into germany....

27:59 Did u realize that Austria paid france in *D O G E C O I N S* !!
Nicely saw !
this teaches me history more than school
The thing with Napoleon is he win against Europe because the opposition couldnt get to each other and work together. Napoleon finally lost when they finally got together
Napoleon was average height for the time, the wars and battles he won makes him one of the best military leaders if not the best of all time his tactics used gravely helped him , he was exiled to the island of Elba and after awhile he chose to reside on saint Helena Island where lived out the rest of his days till his death in 1821 from stomach cancer aged 51
Real talk.
I’d try to take over the world if I weren’t so chronically indifferent.
Napoleon at the end: I didn't hear no bell.
The power of psycho energy and Bison
Wow you are quick
Lol thx
Bro great Video but don't forget All of Europe was fighting against him so of course you lose at some point, it wasn't just only one Nation which defeated him , as you saw Britain and Prussia played a major role in defeating him same with Spain and Sweden ,also if you don't know ( Prussia) was the German Nation That evantually would unite all of Germany after this so don't confuse them with Russia they had very similiar names haha
True
11:32 he wrote in this newspaper that he visited sick soldiers in hospital, they were sick with very dangerous disease like plague
Napoleon just used the weather as an ultimate weapon against Russian and Austrian armies.

SACREE BLEAAAAU
If you want another story of someone who was improbably amazing, and didn’t take shit from anyone, who also stood up for his values check out Thomas Cochrane on Kings and Generals.
Some even said he was Napoleon’s equal on the Sea and he was given the nickname the Sea Wolf. He didn’t just win improbably in big battles but constantly for like 60 years did impossible tasks. If people made a movie on him no one would believe it. He also played a leading role in at least 5 different revolutions, including 3 in South America.
I know this is a 2 day old video but to add to some coolness to the Navel might of Britain it is very very old it started long ago about over 1,200 to 1,300 years ago with the Saxon King Alfred the Great a king who was not a "buff muscular" warrior like other kings but his might came from his brain he found some old busted up Viking long ships so he had Scholars disassemble them and reverse engineered them and that is when the British navy super power began and their only rivals were the Vikings.
50:35 it could also be called The Battle of The Five Armies
Well, men from all over Europe fought there. And with the little troop of British Rocket Artillery and the armies of his german allies, Saxony for instance, there were more than five armies.
Finally
5:12 During the Revolution France had among others 2 black generals: Thomas Alexandre Dumas (father of the famous writer) and Toussaint Louverture. Until Napoleon came to power and reinstated slavery.
Didn't he reinstated slavery only in the carribbean ? France got rid of slavery on french soil for hundreads of years already. So I don't think so it changed much for blacks living in France and free blacks overseas, right ?
It's also the first thing he abolished in 1815.
The fuck you are talking about? Dumas was a general for Napoleon, and Toussaint became dictator of Haiti with inspiration of imitating Napoleon. Napoleon reinstated slavery in order to make peace with the UK and save the caribeans colonies. That was a mistake and he admitted it himself, I don't see your point with Toussaint and Dumas.
I finished a 1 hour reaction for the first time in my life!
There is a Napoleon bibliographic film coming up directed by Ridley Scoot and Joaquín Phoenix acting as Napoleon.
Long live the glory of emperor Napoleon.
heck no lmao
