I've been enjoying this series so much! What a beast of a military mind. Regardless of one's appraisal of Napoleon, one thing which is universal is the historical and societal impact that he had, even 200 years later. Hoping that we could see a similar series on Alexander the Great in the future! 🔥
Absolutely brilliant, and well worth the wait - thankyou for everything you do, despite the vicissitudes of life! Rounding out a nice 'triumvirate' of my favourite series on Napoleon (and the literal era named after him). This series, Epic History's 'Napoleon's Marshals' and Realtime History's 'Downfall of Napoleon 1812/13' have have, in my humble opinion, set the benchmark. Sincere thanks from a Melbourne history nerd 🇦🇺
Not only about war but the entire period explained were it comes economical, administrative wise, introduction of new policies, the way people lived at those times and ofcourse the politics on a broader scale and on and on ... absolutely amazing how high the level you guys produce.
What Napoleon achieved was quite amazing. Have always admired him, his military genius, and the many things he did for France. Seems interesting that just like today the British seemed to instigate so many issues trying to control countries and stir up trouble. Some things never change.
Brilliant work! You are bringing a figure of world-wide significance to life - but more than that, you are painting a picture of an era which very few of us could even have imagined!!
If Napoleon had just contented himself with reconquering the old Frankish (Carolingian) Empire, he would have been remembered as a successful ruler, but he just had to invade Spain and Russia which were his 2 fatal mistakes.
It wasn't that simple. April 1812 Russia gave an ultimatum to France, demanding that the French withdraw from Prussia and fortified sites. Should Napoleon just given Prussia back? He was in essence backed into a corner. Though he declared war on Russia, it was hardly 'unprovoked'. Sadly it did lead to his downfall. Definitely agree about Spain, though I had seen elsewhere that it was poorly recommended to him to do that, which foolishly he did.
@@miketime4290 Yes indeed. That was his fatal mistake. Spain though was the start of the spiral downward sadly. He accomplished so much and made so many positive reforms, which people rarely talk about as focus tends to be on his military strategy and battles.
Agreed, the timing and overall planning of the Russian invasion was his worst mistake. Spain was the second worst. Tieing down a huge part of his army in Spain for 7 years was a major blunder in itself. On average Napoleon deployed 250,000 Frenchmen there every year and had nothing to show for it. It was totally needless since Spain was allied to France.
Les réformes politiques et sociales de Napoléon pour faire entrer la France dans l'ère moderne sont aussi exceptionnelles et importantes que l'héritage militaire qu'il a laissé derrière lui. Un immense homme d'État
Napoleon wanted to merged the old regime and the ideas of the revolution. He also didn't want war to continue in Europe. Becoming emperor was a diplomatic tool for him to achieve both. I don't know about arrogance but his nepotism was definitely his downfall. Maybe things would have gone for the better if Lannes survived. He was the only one with the will to truly oppose Napoleon.
Brilliant documentaries, really enjoyed all of them!! Thank you for all of the hard work and detailed research that goes into them. A small note would be to forgo the inclusion of modern political and social opinion on historical decisions/events, I’m sure it benefits the UA-cam algorithm but it’s unnecessary especially as viewers are here for the facts and an escape from the overly political environment we are subject to every day across every medium and entertainment form. Thank you again for all of your hard work though - the skill and diligence of this channel is amazing 🙏
Napoleon's mandate to use the metric system automatically makes him the best historical leader (coming from an American engineer who is forced to use hideous US units most of the time)
Respect with Love -To Each Other …….Lets The Greatness of Him through History and See the Errors and let the History Be Known - for the New Generations Serve - For Goodness for -All - For Now …….🌞
Just as a note about the comment that the French how didn't allow women to vote after the French Revolution. In reality France was the last country in Europe to allow women to vote, not happening until 1944. So that's not really on Napoleon, it's on French views of a woman voting.
It does not. Empowered people could reveal their true selves (meaning they were always like that, misareble, having to snarl instead of giving orders to execute) but it has nothing to do with power itself. And on other hand it actually kinda makes them more noble (as far as they can get)
And they all lived happily ever after, except for Napoleon. Who was a very naughty Emperor for upsetting all of Europe and the status quo. So they exiled him to the Island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, after the battle of Waterloo. Where he did a long painful death from arsenic poisoning, from the toxic wallpaper. And that’s what happens to naughty boys who grow up into Emperors and don’t do all the house chores, and wash the car, and do the garden and do anything that your parents reasonably ask you to do. And if you aren’t good, Satan will come and take you away and torture you forever and ever in Hell. But that’s after you have to suffer and die in your natural life. The End, sleep well or you’ll end up in Hell. Night night. 😈goodnight!
Napoleon was never going to be a Cincinatus, and Europe still hadn't a consistent vision of how to make a Republic work without all the old animosities and privileges creeping in. I doubt had Napoleon demurred to the still nascent government, the French people probably would have begged Napoleon back into service as the USA had done with Washington. I believe it would take decades before they cold run an effective republic.
Interesting...the more we hear "by modern 21st century standards...blah blah is sexist...ist....ist ..ist.....the more the phrase should say.....by standards...very sensible and reasonable.
I like your videos, just one gripe lol. Why do you maintain that Napolean retaining Catholic primary schools was a backwards step? I can tell you that all over the world, Catholic primary school education is sought after till this day. Maybe you think public schools are better 😮

His punishment was to go live on an island with perfect weather?
That man lived a charmed life.
Having you guys explore the administration and policies of Napoleon during his reign was fantastic.
As a highschool dropout your videos are really helping for me to fill in the gaps of my knowledge. My jeopardy game has been improving
Now we can educate ourselves with the internet, yey!
I’ve watched many Napoleon documentaries, this series is easily the best
Have you watched Epic History’s.

What’s a vicissitude?
This series has been incredible! That was Napoleón's Masterpiece! 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree 👍
Couldn't have said it better myself😊

I enjoying supplementing this series with Epic History’s coverage of the battles. It’s like a long movie where the battles are the action scenes.

Invading Spain was nowhere near as stupid as trying to march a minion men through Russia in the winter

Well done.. .....this series is excellent. 👌.....
👏
Some Man he was. Whole era was named after that man. Amazing human.
Bourbons: “There can be no reconciliation with France until Monarchy returns”
Napoleon: “I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move”

Napoleon is incredibly based

Please do a video on Li Kuan Yew of Singapore!
Please make a video about Isabel I of Castile, the Catholic queen and another about Fernando of Aragon ? ❤ 🥰❤
I am your Fernando, my sweet Isabel.

The numbers are astounding, as are the casualties.
Beautiful Times of Exchange……….🌞
This part Italian can't wait!

Napoleon was THE MAN
So you want to be in a theater for 8 hours? Plus the only people who had a problem with it were historians.
@@drmanhattan5516I’m no historian and the movie was plain boring. I’m into part 3 of this series with very little moments of boredom.

For Pete’s sake and for crying out loud.

We didn't blame Napoleon with respect, we simply stated the franchise was limited.
Why does everyone ignore that the original nobility got their position by service to the state or king??
Power corrupts... Absolutely
It does not. Empowered people could reveal their true selves (meaning they were always like that, misareble, having to snarl instead of giving orders to execute) but it has nothing to do with power itself. And on other hand it actually kinda makes them more noble (as far as they can get)
Time for bed
And they all lived happily ever after, except for Napoleon. Who was a very naughty Emperor for upsetting all of Europe and the status quo.

The End, sleep well or you’ll end up in Hell. Night night.

Still need more,anyone help me please 🙏
Algorithm
The screams of a woman being tortured in the background make it hard to comment on anything else.😮
It's not screams, it's Opra....music. 😂😂😂😂😂 , she just sings in a higher octave.
Britain built wealth with overseas trade? Is that what you call it nowadays? Trade?

We love Napoleon, bc he was a bogey man to make ourselves look great.

Somebody is worried about a shortage of little boys...

Just think if Napoleon had been successful in Russia.
Austerlitz, late 1805 ... the last time France was any good at fighting and could kick anyone's ass.
