Napoleon was NOT great and his greatness is a lie proffered by French and British historians. Geniuses do not die in prison, isolated, defeated and full of regrets like Napoleon. Geniuses don’t leave their countries occupied, defeated, and never able to recover from defeat the way Napoleon left France. Geniuses don’t turn a complicated situation like war with Britain, and make it even more complicated by waging war with everyone. A real genius takes the complicated and makes it simple. Napoleon did the complete opposite. Many times Napoleon, with a powerful army that could out-gun the enemy, would just barely win through sheer numbers while being a colossal drain on his soldiers and country. This ineffective strategy led to drain and defeat, and it was France that paid the price. In the end France suffered dearly because of Napoleon, and it is a shame that French and British historians have lied about the greatness of Napoleon in order to glorify their own history. A French historian wants you to think that Napoleon was a triumph for their own morale, but Napoleon is a story of tragedy that cost the lives of millions. A British historian wants you to believe that Napoleon was a genius instead of a madman. Wouldn't you rather defeat a genius than a crazy madman. These are the lies that these historians want you to believe. But the facts are out there. Read about Napoleons disasters of Egypt, Spain and Russia, and it is a complete LIE that Napoleon ever conquered these places. Read about Napoleon getting swindled by the fledgling United States in the Louisiana Purchase. Read about how Paris was occupied in 1814, and how France was tired of Napoleon.

@@lsatep so you are saying that nobody deserves the title great and that Alexander should have known his kingdom would collapse same with Charlemagne and that Gustavus Adolphus shouldnt have lead the cavarly charge at Lutzen and that Catherine should have prepared his son to become a monarch and that Alfred should have known that the danes would come back and conquer most of his kingdom and that Hannibal should have sieged Rome. so you are saying if someone did even the smallest of mistakes they dont deserve the title great. Nobody is perfect. Also he did way better job than you ever will.
he didnt change peoples names randomly to show his power, he changed the names of women he had an intimate connection with, to make them even more special to him.
well i'd argue alexander (the one) was a much more incredible man, seriously he became conquered the greek eastern known world before 30 and never lost a battle in his life. Caesar is very interesting to, much more than napoleon in my opinion (whom I find a mixture of the worst trates of Italians and french).
WRONG! FACT CHECK: Ok, lets get this Straight... 1. He was born in 1796 2. He became a general in 1793 3. In 1796 he became french Commander 4. He Conquered the Egyptian Army in 3 weeks. So he was -3 years old when he became a General in 1793? So when he was born he was French Commander. So the Egyptian Army was Conquered by a New Born? Wow! these are 15 Things I did not Know..thx
After receiving my commission as a Field Artillery 2nd Lieutenant, I started reading about Napoleon's life, and ambitions. He wanted to be a man of letters; meaning he wanted to be a writer at first. Not an Artillery Officer, Emperor nor Conqueror. I found this to be interesting, I also wanted to be a writer, but ended up being an Artillery Officer. I wonder if one of his many mistress was a Spanish noble lady; during the peninsula campaign. Hmm... interesting.
7:12 Napoleon Bonaparte ( Napoleon I) wasn't afraid of cats. This myth comes from the confusion with his nephew Charles-Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (Napoleon III) who had a ailurophobia (a persistent and irrational fear of cats ).
Napoleon was a womanizer, completely ignores the fact that Josephine cheated on him many times while he was away fighting, only after this was he known to have any affair. Love how it’s always the mans fault that the women can’t keep their legs closed!
I think Napoleon is an example of a smart man being forced by his circumstances to do great things, as Admiral Halsey observed about all 'great' men. Most of the generals Napoleon faced were desk jockeys hoping to reach retirement, not desperate men facing death and destruction of their homeland if they lost. It makes a difference.
Napoleon was so great in battle that the Allies took the decision never to fight him one on one; that's how and why Wellington fought him at Wateoo because he had 60,000 Prussians to back him up. Wellington would not have engaged Napoleon alone at Waterloo.
This lady got The dates wrong. She said he was born in 1796 but become a general at the age of 24 in 1793. This tell me she don't know what she is talking about
No. 16. The Bonaparte family was descended from Greeks that had settled in Corsica. Napoleon grew up in a Greek speaking household. The name, Napoleon is Greek derived from ... neapolis (new city) and leon (lion) hence, Lion of the new city.
Sgidi ka Senzangakhona was "Shaka" Zulu's real name. Son of chief Senzangakhona, brother of Dingane ka Senzangakhona. Both brutal killers. Dingane murdered Sgidi to take control of the tribe. The Zulu "kingdom" was a scattered, unorganised clan - never a "kingdom". Much less a civilisation. Sgidi was 'curious'. There are accounts of him cutting pregnant women's bellies open just to see where children came from. Another account tells how he cut out some of his impi's (foot soldiers with assegai's and cow's hide shields) eyes. Just to see if they could live and if so, how useful they can be. When he figured out that cutting people's eyes out made them blind, he had them killed. Hardly the romanticized "king" everyone thought he was. In fact, his own people hated him and his brother Dingane so much, they conspired with the Dutch and the Swazis to have Dingane exiled and murdered. In fact, the Zulus terrorised every group of people they came into contact with while they migrated. The original inhabitants of their "kingdom", the Khoisan, were murdered to extinction in the area. A genocide. Zulu history is vicious, impulsive, violent and very, very awful. I am a South African - I know the real history of the violent and aggressive Zulus. Don't believe me? Google - I implore you.

Check the dates please , How he became a general in 1793 at age of 24 although he was born in 1796?????? Check other dates also. Dear Alux. Com don't do this kinda mistakes again please!
Napoleon was a pretty good guy. He introduced and invented the metric system and the civil code. Before the rich guys and the guys at the church didn't had to pay takes. 3% of the French population where the rich guys and the people from the church, but they owned 75% of the land and well over 80% of all the money. The rich got richer and poor got poorer. Napoleon chanced this and limited the power of kings. His brother Louis Napoleon was king of Batavian Republic aka the Dutch satalite state of French and we really liked his brother. He even took lessons Dutch so he could talk to his people in their language and really cared about us. If Napoleon wanted to rise the taxes so he could affort war his brother would't let him becauze he knew that the his people would get hungry. One time a schip in the harbour blew up and there was a big explosion and Napoleon's brother was one of the first to arrive on the sight and he helped to carry the wounded. And an other time the dam broke and again he was one the first to arrive on the spot and again he was helping. Nowadays it's pretty normal to travel to place where something sad had happend in your country if you are the leader, but back in those days most king didn't gave a shit as long as they where well fed.
Oh I see so if hitler made taxes higer for the wealthy and lower for the middle class he would have been a good guy. BTW i am not saying that Napoleon is nearly as bed as Hitler (not even bed. Just not good, like most people. He was just smart.).
The presenter finally correctly pronounced the name of the small island where Napoleon was exiled. During the first part of the video, she mispronounced the island as Saint HELLena, but later on, when she was describing the wine that he liked on the island where he was deposed, she actually pronounced it correctly. According to the locals who are known as Saints, they pronounce their Homeland as Santa LEENa, or as we would say in the US, Saint HellENa, and not Saint HELLena..
He did but not before his death. He did that during his Egypt campaign which was obviously one of his political tricks. He soon converted back to be a Christian even though he never got along with the Pope.

I read his biography...he wasn't a womanizer from the start...he loved Josephine so much that he was heartbroken to find her cheating on him behind his back while he was busy fighting in the battlefields ...when he was told about it he left her and turned stone cold and that's how he started having multiple affairs...because why not! Why should women have all the fun ! Right ?
6:25 He wasn't he was hated by women and didn't get "a shot". That is why he married a promiscutive old woman Josephine, who couldn't him children. I guess teh mistressed came just with the fame and glory... But there are accounts of some "gay slipperies". Answer of the question if he was secretely gay on Quora: "Probably not although there is some debate about that. Some people do believe his misogyny may have been a result of repressed homosexuality. The strongest piece of evidence is a throw away quote where he said when he saw a handsome man he felt admiration first in his loins then in another place which he claimed should remain unnamed. He did have very intense relationships with people like Andoche Junot and Jean Lannes. And handsome men in the military under Napoleon were promoted faster. Some argue this could’ve been because he enjoyed looking handsome men. However, it could be argued that the halo effect is strong and a lot of people have the bias that people who are physically attractive are more or more capable or talented. He was very sexually infatuated with Josephine in the earlier stages of their relationship. He did also have a few other intense relationships with other women in his youth. At most Napoleon was bisexual. There’s even a book by Frank Richardson called “Napoleon the Bisexual Empoeror.” I would highly recommend giving that a read if you are interested." 9:25 here we go, constantly insecure "men" aren't always the man they portray. Keep in mind he wrote his own propaganda from early on...

*Which Grandparent Wins? Napoleon put his grandson Alexander the Great "son of Frederick the Great" in America and was killed 4th of July, 1776. Catherine the Great put her grandson Alexander the Great "son of Peter the Great" in Russia. (Bourbon vs. Hohenzollern)*
This should perhaps be renamed a bungled introduction and 15 things about Napoleon, most of which are complete bollocks. He didn't leave Elba because he feared being sent to St Helena, that's nonsense for a start. After Leipzig came the Battle of France. He studied for 5 years at Brienne military college before Paris. His first main action was not near Toulon, it was in Toulon. At the first consul...? WTF? He became First Consul, for crying out loud! In 1804 there was also the slight matter of his becoming Emperor of the French. Being surrounded by absolute monarchies bent on his destruction, compromise was not an option. And your product placement cognac was not his favourite drink. Go back to remedial school.
We're off to a good start, "Napoleon was born in 1796" apparently. He was born 27 years after he was actually born. Good job. Dare I even watch the rest of these interesting "facts!"
Napoleon - Since he reacquired the Louisiana Territory in 1800 and sold it to the United States in 1803 that means he was the ruler of "Americans" for about 3 years. Not "United States citizens" but they were still "Americans". Fascinating.
He used artillery not cavalry , he was an artillery officer during the battle of Toulon . Once after Toulon , he destroyed a royalsist group . Then he was promoted . He died out of stomach ulcer . His penis was cut when he died
i WAS relating to number 13, but the ending of that one surprised me, 10 minutes of sleep for a full body restore?!thats crazy, i could get 3-4 hours of sleep and fully recharge, but 10 minutes?! wow
Okay cool but you didn’t mention that his wife who he loved at first cheated on him and fell in love with someone else well he was first sent to battle and then only started taking their relationship seriously after he became a more important person in French society and you didn’t mention that he took woman’s rights away and made it that their husbands effectively owned them which would have been a far better point for the womaniser point
He also emancipated jews and protestants equally to catholics, and transfered the evolutions of the revolution in the many countries he conquered. He put an end to selfdom, feodality and promoted equality of justice etc
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ALSO LOST THE SLAVE REVOLT IN HAITI, WHICH LEAD TO FIRST INDEPENDENT BLACK NATION. & ALSO LEAD TO LOUISIANA PURCHASE. SO YEAH DON'T FORGET THE IMPORTANT "FACTS" NEXT TIME.
هو عمى نابليون قريب ايفل شكلهم بلديات ولا هما قرايب مش عارف انا ياعم نوبل اسال ايفل هو عمل البرج كلةحديد لية انتم كنتم زارعين البلد كلها بدنجان ربنا يبارك الحديد كان كثير فى البرجاوى البدنجان كان فالح اة واللة طرح اية ربنا يبار باظ البدنجان بعد ايفل غلى الحديد والكرنب حديدة ضعيف اجيبك منين ياملك البدنجان
This is wrong!!! Napoleon was born in 1987 and become the canadian Vice President and attacked Finland, billions of people died in the Canadian French war
Did you know that he was born in Glasgow. His real name was Angus Mc ravished . Yes it's true, the wee General was a Scotsman . That's how good the info on this video is. You just make it up as you go along.
No wonder this man was so great! He started his career 3 years before he was born!

lsatep do more research and go back and pay attention to history
@@lsatep you idiot
I was wondering if anyone else caught that too!!!!!
@@lsatep so you are saying that nobody deserves the title great and that Alexander should have known his kingdom would collapse same with Charlemagne and that Gustavus Adolphus shouldnt have lead the cavarly charge at Lutzen and that Catherine should have prepared his son to become a monarch and that Alfred should have known that the danes would come back and conquer most of his kingdom and that Hannibal should have sieged Rome. so you are saying if someone did even the smallest of mistakes they dont deserve the title great. Nobody is perfect. Also he did way better job than you ever will.
He was born in 1796, and was 24 years old in 1792, wow how time flies.
“Bonaparte was born in 1796,and then he became a general in 1793”
Wait what?!?
Napoleon hated to waste time.
Napoleon was born in 1769....
They mixed the 9 with a 6 1796 -> 1769, see? and the girl reading off the script didn’t pick up on it.
DaNutka Yes! He most certainly was!
Napoleon was born on 1745
he didnt change peoples names randomly to show his power, he changed the names of women he had an intimate connection with, to make them even more special to him.
Nils Wennström soumds like he just didn't wanna look like a ho
Exactly , they just want to show him as a tyrant
The best historical character!!! Such a charismatic tactician and individual
well i'd argue alexander (the one) was a much more incredible man, seriously he became conquered the greek eastern known world before 30 and never lost a battle in his life. Caesar is very interesting to, much more than napoleon in my opinion (whom I find a mixture of the worst trates of Italians and french).
Except slavery
Lord Nelson the best
Bayoneting hundreds of prisoners then leaving his men to rot in Egypt and then Russia. Man is a muderer. Amazing field General tho
The Truth he left his own men to die twice because of his own incompetence . Yes very European
In this Video Napoleon's Year of birth Mentioned as 1796, It's wrong.
Nepolian? What about Napoleon. Three spelling errors in one word! Quite an achievement.
Erwin Woodedge I AGREE, THANKS FOR pointing out. Corrected.
AKASH KOMMAWAR I know It was a stupid mistake....made by these guys...
AKASH KOMMAWAR I noticed the year immediately, I almost threw my phone 40 seconds in.
AKASH KOMMAWAR yeah i know it crazy like ww2 start 1839 not 1939
I Didn't know one thing... Was I really born in 1796 :)?
Napoléon Bonaparte It Also seems that you're afraid of cats
the fuk I thought you died
Napoléon Bonaparte Apparently you became general 3 years before your birth!
Napoléon Bonaparte cringe
So you got your ass kicked by Haitians in 1803 and u was a midget 😂😂
WRONG!
FACT CHECK:
Ok, lets get this Straight...
1. He was born in 1796
2. He became a general in 1793
3. In 1796 he became french Commander
4. He Conquered the Egyptian Army in 3 weeks.
So he was -3 years old when he became a General in 1793?
So when he was born he was French Commander.
So the Egyptian Army was Conquered by a New Born?
Wow! these are 15 Things I did not Know..thx
Hahah I know right! I said woah he was -3 when he became the a French Commander!
He was born on 15 august 1769
boy youre also wrong. he was born on 15 august 1769 not 1796....
1769
Among his greatest but lesser known achievements, he also traveled back in time after inventing a time machine?
After receiving my commission as a Field Artillery 2nd Lieutenant, I started reading about Napoleon's life, and ambitions. He wanted to be a man of letters; meaning he wanted to be a writer at first.

This really belittled such an amazing figure in history.....
is this the same voice from WatchMojo?
dunno
Le petit caporal does not literally mean "the lovely corporal" either, but petit/little is used as a term of endearment.
So Napoleon was -3 when he became a French Commander! Wow!

He even took lessons Dutch so he could talk to his people in their language and really cared about us. If Napoleon wanted to rise the taxes so he could affort war his brother would't let him becauze he knew that the his people would get hungry. One time a schip in the harbour blew up and there was a big explosion and Napoleon's brother was one of the first to arrive on the sight and he helped to carry the wounded. And an other time the dam broke and again he was one the first to arrive on the spot and again he was helping. Nowadays it's pretty normal to travel to place where something sad had happend in your country if you are the leader, but back in those days most king didn't gave a shit as long as they where well fed.
Oh I see so if hitler made taxes higer for the wealthy and lower for the middle class he would have been a good guy. BTW i am not saying that Napoleon is nearly as bed as Hitler (not even bed. Just not good, like most people. He was just smart.).
Napoleon also supported a lot scientists and intellectuals.
I definitely agree he was a great man but he was also a very brutal person
The presenter finally correctly pronounced the name of the small island where Napoleon was exiled. During the first part of the video, she mispronounced the island as Saint HELLena, but later on, when she was describing the wine that he liked on the island where he was deposed, she actually pronounced it correctly. According to the locals who are known as Saints, they pronounce their Homeland as Santa LEENa, or as we would say in the US, Saint HellENa, and not Saint HELLena..
In Animal Farm by George Orwell there is a pig called Napoleon!
The greatest man who have ever lived
Thank you
📍📚📚📚Do you know napoleon converted to Islam before his death ?
Don’t take it from me read napoleon biography.
Fake news
He did but not before his death. He did that during his Egypt campaign which was obviously one of his political tricks. He soon converted back to be a Christian even though he never got along with the Pope.
0:36, so he was born on 1796 and became a general in 1793 (0:45).
Later Napeolian converted to Islam..☺️
Emperor Napoleon never change his religion btw.
He was poisoned. The International Napoleonic Society has researched this extensively.
Good...the punk deserved it. Napoleon was NOT great and his greatness is a lie proffered by French and British historians. Geniuses do not die in prison, isolated, defeated and full of regrets like Napoleon. Geniuses don’t leave their countries occupied, defeated, and never able to recover from defeat the way Napoleon left France. Geniuses don’t turn a complicated situation like war with Britain, and make it even more complicated by waging war with everyone. A real genius takes the complicated and makes it simple. Napoleon did the complete opposite. Many times Napoleon, with a powerful army that could out-gun the enemy, would just barely win through sheer numbers while being a colossal drain on his soldiers and country. This ineffective strategy led to drain and defeat, and it was France that paid the price. In the end France suffered dearly because of Napoleon, and it is a shame that French and British historians have lied about the greatness of Napoleon in order to glorify their own history. A French historian wants you to think that Napoleon was a triumph for their own morale, but Napoleon is a story of tragedy that cost the lives of millions. A British historian wants you to believe that Napoleon was a genius instead of a madman. Wouldn't you rather defeat a genius than a crazy madman. These are the lies that these historians want you to believe. But the facts are out there. Read about Napoleons disasters of Egypt, Spain and Russia, and it is a complete LIE that Napoleon ever conquered these places. Read about Napoleon getting swindled by the fledgling United States in the Louisiana Purchase. Read about how Paris was occupied in 1814, and how France was tired of Napoleon. Don't let these historians make up your mind for you.
it should have mentioned that Napoleon expeditionary force in Egypt also founded "The Rosetta Stone"
Marie Louise of "HANSBURG???? Habsburg love... The royal House of Habsburg just happen to be the oldest continuous European royal family in history.
Naaah, that would be house capet who still enjoys the position of monarch in Spain & Luxembourg
i knew all this
I read his biography...he wasn't a womanizer from the start...he loved Josephine so much that he was heartbroken to find her cheating on him behind his back while he was busy fighting in the battlefields ...when he was told about it he left her and turned stone cold and that's how he started having multiple affairs...because why not! Why should women have all the fun ! Right ?
hey can u do a video on
Conor McGregor
LMFAO
He was defeated my the Haitian in 1803
Yes he was, they wipe his men out
Bonaparte was born in 1796 later became a general idea 1793 at the age of 24 🤦🏻♂️ wow ! And once again he became commander in French army 1796 👏🏻
6:25 He wasn't he was hated by women and didn't get "a shot". That is why he married a promiscutive old woman Josephine, who couldn't him children. I guess teh mistressed came just with the fame and glory... But there are accounts of some "gay slipperies". Answer of the question if he was secretely gay on Quora:
"Probably not although there is some debate about that. Some people do believe his misogyny may have been a result of repressed homosexuality. The strongest piece of evidence is a throw away quote where he said when he saw a handsome man he felt admiration first in his loins then in another place which he claimed should remain unnamed. He did have very intense relationships with people like Andoche Junot and Jean Lannes. And handsome men in the military under Napoleon were promoted faster. Some argue this could’ve been because he enjoyed looking handsome men. However, it could be argued that the halo effect is strong and a lot of people have the bias that people who are physically attractive are more or more capable or talented. He was very sexually infatuated with Josephine in the earlier stages of their relationship. He did also have a few other intense relationships with other women in his youth. At most Napoleon was bisexual. There’s even a book by Frank Richardson called “Napoleon the Bisexual Empoeror.” I would highly recommend giving that a read if you are interested."
9:25 here we go, constantly insecure "men" aren't always the man they portray. Keep in mind he wrote his own propaganda from early on...
“Conquered Moscow” except no one was in Moscow to conquered considering the city had been evacuated
Exactly, Napoleon was NOT a genius and his greatness is a lie proffered by French and British historians. Geniuses do not die in prison, isolated, defeated and full of regrets like Napoleon.

Personally - I would of burnt it.
(Moscow) that is..a true Tyrant!!!!
@@lsatep you sir are nothing but a dumb fuck
Could u plzz do a video on Genghis Khan...
*Which Grandparent Wins? Napoleon put his grandson Alexander the Great "son of Frederick the Great" in America and was killed 4th of July, 1776. Catherine the Great put her grandson Alexander the Great "son of Peter the Great" in Russia. (Bourbon vs. Hohenzollern)*
This should perhaps be renamed a bungled introduction and 15 things about Napoleon, most of which are complete bollocks.
He didn't leave Elba because he feared being sent to St Helena, that's nonsense for a start. After Leipzig came the Battle of France. He studied for 5 years at Brienne military college before Paris. His first main action was not near Toulon, it was in Toulon. At the first consul...? WTF? He became First Consul, for crying out loud! In 1804 there was also the slight matter of his becoming Emperor of the French. Being surrounded by absolute monarchies bent on his destruction, compromise was not an option. And your product placement cognac was not his favourite drink. Go back to remedial school.
We're off to a good start, "Napoleon was born in 1796" apparently. He was born 27 years after he was actually born. Good job. Dare I even watch the rest of these interesting "facts!"
Napoleon - Since he reacquired the Louisiana Territory in 1800 and sold it to the United States in 1803 that means he was the ruler of "Americans" for about 3 years. Not "United States citizens" but they were still "Americans". Fascinating.
This is one off the worst things ever put on the Internet about Napoleon they haven't got a clue, is this made for the American market
So Napoleon was born in 1796.....!!! Is the speaker legasthenic? He was born in 1769!
I thought they would at least mention that Napoleon actually died in an explosion. They said he was...blown-apart. ( sorry )
He used artillery not cavalry , he was an artillery officer during the battle of Toulon . Once after Toulon , he destroyed a royalsist group . Then he was promoted . He died out of stomach ulcer . His penis was cut when he died
Therapist: you need to relax Elvis Bonaparte isn’t real he’s not gonna hurt you
Elvis Bonaparte: 0:02
i WAS relating to number 13, but the ending of that one surprised me, 10 minutes of sleep for a full body restore?!thats crazy, i could get 3-4 hours of sleep and fully recharge, but 10 minutes?! wow
steph g It has to do with self-hypnosis. I’ve met contemporary military men who maintain the same.
Okay cool but you didn’t mention that his wife who he loved at first cheated on him and fell in love with someone else well he was first sent to battle and then only started taking their relationship seriously after he became a more important person in French society and you didn’t mention that he took woman’s rights away and made it that their husbands effectively owned them which would have been a far better point for the womaniser point
It was Napoleon III who didn't like cats not Napoleon Bonaparte.
He also emancipated jews and protestants equally to catholics, and transfered the evolutions of the revolution in the many countries he conquered. He put an end to selfdom, feodality and promoted equality of justice etc
do a 15 things you didn't know about Neuralink video
It seems this lady doesn't know what she's talking about. Terrible just terrible.
How on earth you guys have made video about almost anything that comes to my mind...
1796, come on it's 1769
So much of the content in this video is explained misleadingly or just plain wrong.
Napoleon II is the stronger than Napoleon I (Napoleon Bonaparte) and Napoleon III
1769 not 1796 c’mon don’t billionaires have to pay attention to detail?
Aulx.con can you tell me why he could be born 1796 he could been younger you know
Is it just me that can see a resemblance between Napoleon and Phil Collins?
heres a wrong one their "napoleon died of stomach cancer not (what you said)"
It's Hapsburg, not "Hamsburg".
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ALSO LOST THE SLAVE REVOLT IN HAITI, WHICH LEAD TO FIRST INDEPENDENT BLACK NATION. & ALSO LEAD TO LOUISIANA PURCHASE. SO YEAH DON'T FORGET THE IMPORTANT "FACTS" NEXT TIME.
THIS IS CLICKBATE!
I already knew some of these..
Napoleon Bonaparte was not born in 1796, he was born in 1769.
I think you’ll find Napoleon was born in 1769 not 1796
alux.com look Napoleon was born in August 15 1769 not 1796
Date of Birth wrong.Absolutely Horrendous!

Excusez-moi ! mais votre vidéo est ''ridicule'' 🤯vous ne savez même pas la date de naissance de Napoléon, alors!??
Napoleon slept very little. That what interest me.
😇 number16: napoleon not happy with women
Another fact about napoleon is that he was albanian
Napoleon was 170 cm tall. Аverage height at that time was 164 cm
This is wrong!!! Napoleon was born in 1987 and become the canadian Vice President and attacked Finland, billions of people died in the Canadian French war
Did you know that he was born in Glasgow.
His real name was Angus Mc ravished .
Yes it's true, the wee General was a Scotsman .
That's how good the info on this video is.
You just make it up as you go along.
