What were the Napoleonic Wars?

- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The Napoleonic Wars were a devastating European conflict that raged for more than a decade, as French Emperor Napoleon took on a coalition of France's enemies. And though his military genius helped him to win victory after victory, in the end - with most of Europe marching against him - defeat proved inescapable.

The way all of your videos are presented is truly Epic.
Nothing to object on that🎉❤
Standing like that he would lose a leg or more.
an inacurate
His voice is epic tbh
Fr they are so fire
Whenever I think of Napoleon and his times it doesn't seems like I am studying history. It seriously seems as an Epic Mythical lore or Greek tragedy.
It's amazing how recent it was.
Indeed Napoleon brought back the Mythology into the world from the ancient world, Charlemagne was crowned by the pope, Napoleon made the pope watch as he crown himself. Napoleon was the bridge between 2 eras with his saber he cut history in two with the before and the after and he brought France into the world of mythology, before the world of mythology it was the Egyptians, it was the Greeks and the Romans now there is France in the world of mythology.

@@EnglandVersusit wont though
@@thegoodgamerthemovie6473 there is a reason why we all speak English in the comments section
@@albrechtryan7799yes... and it doesn't have to do with Napoleon
As a reference, half a world speaks french, another percentage speaks spanish, portuguese, etc etc
@@jacoboreyes3160 yes but everyone of those percent know English
I didn't realize how awesome this era was until these videos. Thank you.
Le problème est que L'Angleterre a financé les guerres contre Napoléon. L'Angleterre voulait faire main basse sur la terre entière. Après l'ignoble traitement de Napoléon en le transportant à l'autre bout du monde dans une masure infestée de rats à la merci d'un geôlier stupide .Il devait nommer Napoléon en ignorant son titre même.
Après l'enfermement de Napoléon,on a rendu tous les territoires aux "nobles".Du temps de Napoléon,n'importe qui pouvait être récompense. C'est curieux qu'après le départ de Napoléon,il y a eu des guerres...Ceci dit,les Anglais inondent les émissions d'explications désireuses de lui donner le mauvais rôle .

@@imsherlockhomelesshow?
@@imsherlockhomelessIndeed. No other commander had such difficult conditions as him and yet won so many stunning victories. Its not even close I dont get how people think its anyone else.
The french surrender in WW2 overshadows the fact the french once a force to be reckoned with. Even in WW1, we can thank them and the unconciousable amount of dead young men for the containment of germany.
You mean dead young russian men but the same point.
@AleXoEx0 That as well. But had Germany crossed that french line and made their way further it may have turned the war deeply in Germany's favor
The French have captured Berlin in 2 weeks compared to the Germans capturing Paris in 3 weeks... In a time without Blitzkrieg and mechanization...
When you learn how HARD the french fought at Dunkirk.. you lose that feeling instantly.... they were Spartans! Fighting right till the end.. the politicians giving up has NOTHING to do with the FIGHTING MAN of FRANCE... and the French resistance proves it outright... the French never once "gave up" the politicians (who were mostly veterans of ww1) were terrified of reliving the trench warfare..
You were not at Dunkirk then, my ancestors were and fought to allow the British the run away. England was only saved because it was an island primarily.

Napoleon didn’t really seek French domination of Europe. It was the coalition that started the wars on him and he beat them so acquired land as a result of this as compensation. There was no pre existing plan to conquer the continent.
Yes there very well may havee been peace in Europe if the coalition forces accepted the terms laid down, particularly Britain and Austria
I just think he got to cocky and felt like he was a god eventually when he has everything. Personally if he was ruling France with what he had (the Frankfurt proposals) he would’ve been a great ruler
Why'd he invade Spain, an ally?
@@antorseax9492bc Spain was turning against him so he sent soldiers down there to stop them
Because the Spanish wanted to join the fourth coalition in 1806 and were in negotiations with the Prussians to do so. It is only due to news of the battle of Jena that they abandoned this at last minute. However, Napoleon's spies had already found out about these alarming developments. Spain's untrustworthiness is why Napoleon wanted to install his brother in order to make sure Spain wouldn't be a threat in future. Ironically, he ended up getting a two front war which is exactly the opposite of what had been intended. @@antorseax9492
This short tells me more about Napoleon than Ridley Scott's movie
Napoleon's back must have hurt from carrying his team so much!
i don't blame you you have no knowledge, his generals and soldiers were just as great, his marshals are legendary
@@AL-kb3cb wonder how it's possible to have a small History Channel, as well as an Instagram Page dedicated to historical stuff, when I seem to have no knowledge about anything. Also, I usually don't trust people that are not even able to write a clear sentence.

@@HistoryTheGreat-ib2rf PS your vids look like they are generated by AI, but not by recent AI, more like 2018-2020 AI (not good mate)
True statement if we are talking about the war of the sixth coalition (especially during the defense of France)
otherwise, his marshals, officers and army all contributed their fair share to France's success.
5 minutes later:
Somehow Napoleon returned
Hitler didn’t read history carefully enough. He repeated Napoleon’s mistake.
Not the same context. Russia wasn't communist when Napoleon went in, marx wasn't even born. It was still under tsar rule.
@@AleXoEx0 That has nothing to do with AleXoEx0's point though
He’s talking about the harsh Russian winter environment
And we have been paying the price ever since
@@AleXoEx0 Oh for God’s sake. I know that crap. My point stands. Both Napoleon and Hitler had, shall we say, trouble with the Russian winter.
This is a wonderful summary.
Putin really thinks he’s Napoleon 💀 lmao
So do the British. Their no better.
Fun fact: most of these wars were defensive wars for France (except Spain and Russia 1812)
And the invasion of Portugal that started the war in Spain.
Both were also defensive wars, Russia broke a treaty and so declared war as well as they brought and built an Army at Poland border when they were forbidden to do so. Spain was in a civil war and Napoleon was called to settle who will take the throne of Spain, the poor people of Spain were manipulated by the clergy and nobles who knew they would lose there privileges and made the Spanish people believe non sense like Napoleon was a muslim and a devil etc... so that they could continue to take the spanish people in serfdom.

Wellington accepted to face him in Waterloo only after being sure, Napoleon was weak enough. And despite that, he has nearly lost this battle. Here is the story bro 😊
I NEED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC SO BAD PLEASE IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWS ITS JUST TOO EPIC
There's nothing we can do
Imagine how different history would be if there was something we could do, but after all, there is nothing we can do
It's joever
Pretty much all of Europe teamed up on him and he beat them the first 5 attempts. They finally got him on the 6th attempt, then he came back from exile and the coalition declares war, not on France, but on Napoleon as an individual and narrowly beat him at Waterloo.
I’m honestly sorry to epic history, cause there napoleon and belasarius videos are so good that I just don’t watch anything else, the rest of their content is probably on the same level but I just can’t tear myself away from these two series
I really love this new style of your shorts
bro won against many coalitions, this is like Qin shi Huang type sht during unification
Battle of waterloo in 1815 that ended with his Run after which he was exiled in St Helena where he died in 1821.
Napoleon is the best general in mankind history, without a doubt. His tactics are still learned today in military schools , and he is the one with the most victory ratio,in a time of military superpowers. Plus he came from the bottom.
With egypt, the russian campaign or Leipzig alone only propaganda saved him time and again from mediocrity.
YOU EVER HEARD OF HANNIBAL WHO CONQUERED EUROPE IN THE ALPS WITH ELEPHANTS!
@@2adamastHow did propaganda save him? Napoleon beat the coalition many times against all odds (he had a win rate of 85% and lost only 7 battles)
@@ovrext in the Egyptian campaign, the whole army was lost. He successfully deserted, but that doesn’t make it the victory he sold when returning. Same for the Russian campaign, only 2% of the army made it back, he’s one of the many that deserted before the return.

Me too! I would like to have him narrate a day in my life. 😊
Napoleon unleashed a war on the Iberian Peninsula in order to subjugate Portugal and Spain, which was already loyal to him, in a bloody way. Then he got involved in Russia to get rid of a powerful competitor. But, according to some Bonapartists, Napoleon did not want to dominate Europe) It looks like he was doing it all for fun XD
Napoleon wanted to remove an incompetent Bourbon king for someone he could trust, the spanish populace was to dumb to understand it and defended an inbred ldlot king from France to not get a better and more competent ruler also from France
Spanish werent that loyal, they were corrupt and there is proof that they were flirting with British.
Spanish were French enemy no more than 10 years before in the revolutionary wars.
Plus they were BOURBONS, That the French got ridden of by their incompetence and corruption. How a Bourbon would be a true and reliable allie of a Revolutionary France? They were still blood of the ancient regimé
And you keep lying with that crap
Russian broke Tilsit and Alexander warmongered the 1812 for 5 years.
Even a napoleonic critic as Zamoyoski says that.
@@TheQuasarDragon1706 Only you are lying. Russia directly began to prepare for war in 1810, at the same time as Napoleon. By the way, Napoleon really thought at first that the Russians would attack him. But no matter what he thought, he started the war.

Have you...even clicked on their channel?
In Ireland we had the Irish legion. This is the main history to it
One of the best legions in napoleons army. It was formed after the failed invasion of Ireland over 20 thousand Irish fought in it.
They were meant to be the spear head to the next invasions of Ireland but after the Spanish fleet sunk were withdrawn to fight in Germany against Russia.
The story said the Irish legion met a whole brigade of British prisoners. We were the only foreigners to be given our own flag it was made in Ireland by rebels and sent to France and said “ freedom of conscience/ independence of Ireland “ this legion was also given the bronze eagle of the imperial eagle the sign of honour to the regiment and was the only foreigners to get a imperial eagle directly from napoleon. So when passing the British pows the Irish unrolled there flag flaunted the eagle and played rebel music this created mass support and over 500 prussians joined the Irish legion with some poles.
We continued the invasions east but were luckily withdrawn before the retreat from Moscow
Irish legion also spear headed the peninsula war and the invasions of Portugal and Spain
At the Siege of Astorga the same legion was put under Portuguese command
When the grande army was formed after the peninsula war over 2000 Irish were pulled from the regiments to fight at Waterloo these were some of the best soldiers in the French army at the time and veterans from fighting Cossacks in Russia and in Spain.
After exile the Irish flags were taken and locked away never seen again and the 125 year tradition of fighting for France was over
Before Waterloo British hung Irish prisoners napoleon met the regiment who fought the bodies and kissed all the Irish men on the forehead. This brought over 7000 Irish to join him in France
Brits always beat you Irish and French in the end.
You have a perfect voice

@@ChrisCrossClash Siege of Toulon was one of Napoleon's first major battles. He was in his 20's and still outplayed the Brits. That's just one example.
@@epa901 Egypt, Trafalgar, Alexandra, Portugal, Spain, he could never finish Britain, he lost his empire for not finishing off Britain end off.

Great video
Greatest general in human history
It's impossible to be "better" Than Alexander, because Alexander had a perfect record. Napoleon is more impressive because of the sophistication and Nuance, but he did lose battles and in putting him above Alexander, your discriminating against somebody just because they weren't around at the time when strategy and tactics were far more complex
@@Rowlph8888But Alexander never faced 5 series of coalition against him. Although he defeated Persian Empire, but it was not the same which Cyrus has founded. But during the period of Napoleon, he faced the coalition which were not weak. Britain was already a superpower , while Russia had gathered enough power. Plus Napoleon although defeated, scored victories which were far in number than Alexander. No general won so much recorded battle.
@@VaibhavGupta-hr8vcI agree. The balance of powers compared to what Alexander faced is, in my opinion, harder for Napoleon. And yet, he still manages to become the greatest general in the number of battles won. However, if the two generals faced, it's still a coin toss.
@@Rowlph8888 Napoleon is the best General in mankind history,without a doubt. His tactics are still learned today in military schools , and he is the one with the most victory ratio,in a time of military superpowers. Plus he came from the bottom.

Type "the aftermath" i believe
The Napoleonic wars were Frenchies being led by an Italian thinking they can own Europe until a Englisnman born in Ireland clapped them.

Link to the detailed video on him? From the beginning?
Funny how they never mention his defeat at the hands of the great Desoline in Haiti
Because Haiti is not in Europe. There are a lot of shows on the Revolution.
@@TheZombieman87 point is, he's not this unstoppable leader they claim him to be would'nt you agree?
@@youarehistoryHe was never defeated by Desaline. He never visited the western hemisphere.
During the time of colonization he was the only one who had the balls to try to actually colonize Europe.
His empire is best described as ephemeral. One year its there, next year its gone.
I wonder if he always sound like this…he’s probably got his own personal orchestra that follows him to make sure he always lives up to his name.
had he had a chance to play total war. He would have just taken spain, built up the economy and then take it all.....
GREATEST GENERAL OF EVERYTIME
If he’d have just waited out the Russian winter in Poland like one of his officers suggested, he would’ve probably succeeded.
Imperial overreach, when your empire is too big its difficult to maintain the stability of your military economic capabilities.
If I was there we wouldn’t have retreated from Russia
I don't think napoleon had a choice to stay. no food troops sick and getting weaker. Russia just waiting him out. his mistake other than invading Russia in the first place was delaying his retreat from Moscow before winter closed in.
Well, you would 100% be captured by the Russians in that case)
@@RussianEagles Not if he took the way to Saint Petersburg, the russians around Moscow where already presenting their oath to Napoleon while he was in Moscow in a surrealist medieval feudal style that shocked Napoleon, he said himself to have only seen the misery of the past in Russia.
@@ommsterlitz1805 For every one who took the oath to Napoleon, there were thousands who were ready to resist him. If he had gone to St. Petersburg after Moscow, he would have gone crazy with the roads there, and accordingly with supplies. At best, he would have reached Novgorod before he was surrounded.

His downfall is his Greed
Omg this better then any show ever I'm a drug addict homeless I love this so much
Did people visit him while he was at St Helena?
What foods did he eat? Did he have a cook or servant?
Arsenic was in his hair upon arriving at St Helena suggesting he had early stages of Cancer.
Napoleon only appears to be a tough boy because he got himself in trouble to begin with. He solved problems on the fly that he should've never gotten into. Few people ever speak of his countless blunders.
Success in battle requires brilliancy before the battle. Napoleon had the former, but very little of the latter.
he is the best General in mankind history,without a doubt. His tactics are still learned today in military schools , and he is the one with the most victory ratio,in a time of military superpowers. Plus he came from the bottom.
I sometimes wonder what part I would have played back then. A major or colonel under Ney, perhaps.
Rewatching the "Battle of Eylau" right now.
is there a list of the artworks used in this somewhere
" Ele Era pequeno no tamanho mas Grande em inteligência e Bravura pena que Ele foi traído pelos Reis da península Ibérica que é Portugal e Espanha Ele contou com ajuda deles pra derrotar a Inglaterra e que ele si sentindo traído invadiu estes dois países forçando eles a fugir para América D.Joao e o Rei da Espanha " 😢😢😢
Traido destruiu espanha so nao conquistou portugal porque falhou na tentativa de rapto do rei de portugal o exercito dele foi aniquilado pelas guerrilhas portuguesas 3 vezes
Skipped a part he first was exiled to Elba in 1813 and then escapes after 100 days and then loses in the battle of Waterloo and then abdicates again in 1814 and is exiled to St.Helena so don’t skip important details.
Well it was old money definitely not liking new money but not having a stick big enough at first to stop new money taking over
Only lost half a million men, in one campaign.
There was a vid I watched on another channel he said that napoleon died n his banishment on an Island and some say he died in the battle of waterloo, so who's correct?
Is it possible sometimes to mention that he was never the one declaring war, but rather the coalition of princes wanting to preserve the monarchies over Europe, then attacking France ?
most of wars of napoleon was started by coalition not him btw ^^
