Joachim Murat, King of Naples, was one of Napoleon's Marshals, and perhaps the man he trusted the most. He was the man Napoleon entrusted with the Grande Armee after he left for Paris at the end of his retreat from Leipzig. Before Napoleon left, Murat pledged his eternal loyalty to Napoleon, but immediately abandoned his post and fled back to Naples. He joined the Coalition against Napoleon soon after. This was the last time they ever saw each other.
yeah when he asked who that is, that made me pause. If he does not know who that is, after reacting to much of the series now. Look honesty, to me, it makes me believe, they are not really interested in it. Everybody can forget, but its not the first time, where I got the feeling. They say all the time "let us know down in the comments", but then people explain it & they ask the same question again in the next video....
Marshal Murat's nicknamed the "Dandy King" due to his dashing and flamboyant personality was probably the Napoleonic wars' finest cavalry commander under Napoleon was at the time half heartily supporting the sixth coalition against his old boss to try to kept his throne.
if you are interested in more historical personalities such as Napoleon, i would heavily recommend watching a documentary series on Caesar. Hannibal and Alexander the Great are also interesting. However in these cases i would heavily advise you to search for a documentary series which not only covers the warfare-side of things ( or singular battles ) but also the political and culture side of things, especially in the case of Caesar roman politic and culture adds A LOT to the whole story!
May I highly recommend that you watch the Marshal series right after this. You’ll get to know the background, history and personality of every one of his 26 marshals
You're not quite done with Napoleon, even after Waterloo. You still have the Epic History series about Napoleon's marshals to do. I know you'll enjoy that because you are always so interested in who these people were. As for another figure in history who compares, I would have to say Alexander the Great, whom Epic history also do a fantastic series on. The other guys on your channel already have that covered though.
There are 2 aspects of Napoleon which make him important and interesting. First there is obviously his military genius, well described in this series, but he will also be remembered as a great reformist. Most of French institutions remain from his direct legacy : the Sénat, Bank of France, Civil Code, France modern map with division of the territory in departement to put an end to the old aristocratic schemes ( county duchy barony) , Lycée (highschool), Ecole Polytechnique (kind of a prestigious university) and plenty others things
no one won more battles than Napoleon, but when it comes to military genius we often compare him to Caesar, Hannibal or Alexander, at least in occident, we are oblivion to that kind of history from middle east,asia etc i'm sure they had amazing commanders (Khalid ibn al-Walid pops to mind)
Ghengis Khan also obviously. He also died while on a campaign in China. Tamerlane. Maybe also Saladin and all his battles with the crusaders and others. But at this point heading more towards a rabbit hole lol.
It's hard to know if you have ancestors who lived through this kind of battles or not I live in Paris and here we have the biggest collector in the world of objects that belonged to Napoleon, he buys absolutely everything that belonged to the emperor and he does this for years He appears from time to time on TV and you can also meet him if you are part of those who can afford to live in the richest areas of Paris And unlike many collectors who usually keep their collections in glass and never touch them, he makes them "live", I even had the chance to meet him in an auction and he wears a very special ring, a ruby of 5.33 carats that the emperor wore at his coronation in 1804 It's just crazy ... and at the same time it's a good thing thanks to him a big part of this priceless collection remains in France
Honestly, we have so many ancestors past a certain number of generations (2^x ancestors with x the numbers of generations, so 10 generations ago it means 1024 people lol), that I think it's probable a large part of the European population nowadays have at least one ancestor involved in the battles. And considering most white people worldwide lived in Europe at the time (America was only sparsely populated), as the great migrations still didn't happen, those two in Chicago probably have as much chance as any European to have ancestors involved, too.
You guys should react to the videos on Julius Caeser by historia civilis. Besides being Napoleon's personal hero, they shared many of the same characteristics.
Talking about Napoleon always knowing which routes his enemies were going to take and how fast they could move, it's significant that he was a graduate of the best school in France before the revolution, which was France's military academy. In particular that he trained as an artillery officer. So he got the best logistics education, and he had to be very good at maths for being able to use artillery accurately. So he automatically knew how quickly or slowly armies had to move, and what roads they would have to take that could handle the traffic and were well enough paved. And he understood about supply lines, and in the absence of supply lines, how hungry the enemy would get living off the land, or how slowly they would have to move for supply wagons to keep up with them. It's characteristic that he was still winning battles until near the end, but his army was ground down anyway. His enemies used attrition against him, knowing that they had overwhelming numbers, even if Napoleon could defeat each division seprately. Early in his career the attrition had been working in his favour, because he had the most men when France was using conscription and no-one else was, and when he hadn't made enemies out of everybody yet.
Napoleon was an hero for the new Europe, if the English had stopped declaring war on France well away on their island, Europe would have been much more developed today and the European union would have existed during the XIXth century, there wouldn't have been the first world war and neither would the second. And there wouldn't have been the USSR either. England is responsible for the millions of deaths that followed Napoleon's defeat.
Ask the people of Spain, Portugal, Belgium & others if Napoleon was a hero. He was a tyrant and England helped liberate Europe from his clutches. If France had kept to it's own borders England wouldn't have had to come sort it out. But that's generally how it works, that Europe collectively shits the bed yet again & the Brits have to come clean up the mess.
For Russia, Poland, Italy and France Napoleon is an hero. England has always paid other nations to wage its wars against France or against Germany. the English only know how to fight against unarmed natives than against European armies. The Spaniards finally regret subsequently having made war against Napoleon who brought a modern constitution and who would develop Spain. The massacres in Spain are due to England sending arms to the rebels. England has always fomented wars between peoples in Europe so that it remains economically dominant to the detriment of the populations. The first French empire brought freedom to the people and a better standard of living against the tyrant kings supported by English gold
@@Sperenza2b Uh huh, and Spaniards would disagree. Some historians estimate Spanish deaths at half a million during Napoleons occupation. The fact that you try and make out he had a positive influence in Spain is one of the most gormless takes on history I've ever heard. Writing the Spanish partisans off as 'rebels' when they were resisting Napoleons invasion & occupation tells me all I need to know about you. Not everything Napoleon did was bad when you look at it objectively but this weird mindset you have where Napoleon is jesus come again and England is some pantomime villian is pretty pathetic. I'd imagine you're a teenager who get's their history lessons from reddit. Grow the fuck up.
Napoleon is a ambiguous figure. People might talk about him as a hero or, as you said "an evil genius" but unlike Hitler or Stalin or even Gengis Kaan. Pretty much no one in France would refer to him as evil. Some will tryy to have a more clear vision on what he id good and what he did bad, but he's still reconised in France as an important figure (not in a bad way)
3:40 Great question Kelly! I'm from austria but do not know if any ancestors fought in the napoleonic wars. it is likely, but given the situation that the austrian empire back then did not conscript many austrians, who were the officers and higher ranks in the army, but rather from other parts of the empire, like hungarians and czechs, romanians, poles, ukranians, croats, ... makes it hard to answer
I don't think any of my ancestors actively participated in the Napoleonic Wars but many of them were blacksmiths and the like so they could have contributed in some way to the war efforts.
Honestly, we have so many ancestors past a certain number of generations (2^x ancestors with x the numbers of generations, so 10 generations ago it means 1024 people lol), that I think it's probable a large part of the European population nowadays have at least one ancestor involved in the battles. And considering most white people lived in Europe at the time (America was only sparsely populated), those two in Chicago probably have as much chance as any European to have ancestros involved, too. Lol.
Hannibal Barca (Carthaginian 2nd punic war) is pretty close, Cannae is perhaps the greatest military achievement of all time, (although that's disputed)
"Evil" is relative, but there were a lot of military geniuses accross history. While Napoleon has the most recorded battles, it's mostly because he's the most recent, coming from a time where all were meticulously recorded. among ther geinuses, you could go from Alexander to Ceasar, from Aggrippa to Hannibal, from Bellisarius to Yi, and a lot of others whose name only could make their ennemies tremble
I loathe the British to this day. Britain throughout history fought every major attempt of reform, liberty, democracy and republicanism brought forth by the American and French revolutions. I really really wish napoleon had invaded Britain. The British could only rule the sea but they had one and only land army, that commended by Wellington, no match for the grande armée under napoleon, although at that point comprised mostly of fresh conscripts, the brits weren't really into the thick of the fighting, they only had other European nations fighting on their behalf, after being given vacant promises of intervention in the continent along with copious amounts of money, but blunders in Spain and especially in Russia, miscalculations, ill-fated political measures, treachery and incompetent generals sealed napoleon's empire's fate. Napoleon was undoubtedly a brilliant general, but he was a disastrous politician, appointing his friends and relatives at the head of foreign states only added to his misfortunes. He was engulfed with arrogance, so disconnected from reality that he refused to bargain to save his shaken empire, thinking he still had the means to take on the coalition forces.
When you ask if there are any other people in history that are comparable to Napoleon, a few names come to mind. Such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan etc. All brilliant military tacticians, but Napoleon was the last person in history who was both the ruler of a country/empire and a brilliant military leader who would lead armies in the field.
Napoleon was heavily inspired by Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. The two geniuses. Add Hannibal there aswell, his campaigns truly match that of Napoleon's, outnumbered and outmatched but yet won.
Nadir Shah (1698 - 1747) was an persian general, in his career he defeated the ottoman turks 1730 - 1735 and 1743 - 1746, from 1729 - 1738 he fought and defeat the Afghans, in 1739 he defeated in 2 hours with 55,000 men, some 300,000 Indians with 3,000 Cannons and War Elephants and conquered Northern India. In 1740 he defeated 60,000 Uzebks and conquered central asia and from 1741- 1745 he fought the people of Dagestan and Submitted the region.In 1743 he conquered Oman and the persian gulf coast. Nadir Shah was by far bigger than Napoleon, Napoleon was named the second Nadir Shah.
I would say Napoleon is similar to Alexander. Not many more are like him. You're right, he just didn't care. Unrestrained genius and boldness where normal people thought about practicality and tradition. Took on and defeated entrenched medieval monarchy families, upended the world order without caring. It would be like if Elon Musk had an army and defeated the US government, the Chinese, and the EU, and made them sue for peace, walking his troops by the Lincoln memorial in DC as a symbol of his victory. It's that level of world economic power he defeated.
Одной из причин ухудшении отношения Российского императора Александра первого к пожизненному первому консулу Франции Бонапарту это растрел последнего герцога Энгиенского Людовика Антуана Анри де Бурбон-Конде!
@ its navigation. knowing the landscape. Map-reading. Communication & messengers. Hell, using the stars & having a compass. Knowing whats north, east, south & west. Current day millitary are using all sought of methods to know where to go, without a phone & the internet. There is also signs on the roads, of which cities is where. 3:28 you are kidding right? I hope you are kidding. Why do I feel like am ¨the history teacher & wanna scold the student for saying something like that xD when its getting near the end, you should know by now who Murat is....Come on.
im a german and i have a lot of finnish genes, and no idea where they are from (in my family tree/ im 10% finnish on both sides). i read somewhere that the russian zar had a elite guard made up of 3000 finnish soldiers that traveled with him during the napoleonic wars. chances are that one of them left his genes somewhere in germany. everyone in europe is descented from someone who fought in the napoleonic wars but we usually dont know the person by name. do you know the name of your ancestors fighting in the war of 1812? My family tree has people with frech names (Garnier) ending up in poland during that time, im sure they were involved but i dont know in witch way.
I think napoleon would be the greatest if he would be rank alongside, pompey the great, hannibal barca, charles xii & labienus, just my opinion, men who won battles, but lost the war.
Well you know, maybe you have yourself ancestors that fought during the Napoleonic wars. Most migrations towards USA historically happened well after that period, during the course of the 19th century.
@@Hope-om1kc true but is it not because any ancient commander will be better than anyone meaning all the people listed are no better than Napoleon or Hannibal
A handful of generals (excluding admirals) are on Napoleon's level. Alexander the Great is the greatest military general of all time, Epic History TV have a series on him. Julius Caesar and Hannibal Barca are probably greater military minds too, but it's a toss up between these guys really. You have a whole host of generals that are near to Napoleon's level: Philip of Macedon, Turenne, Gustavus, Frederick the Great, Scipio Africanus, Eugene of Savoy, the Duke of Marlborough, Genghis Khan, Subutai, Timur, Nader Shah, Oda Nobunaga, Pyrrhus of Epirus, Suvurov, Wellington etc.
Sorry Wellington but Napoleon is by far the best general who has ever lived. Don't worry you are the third ! www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/best-generals-ranked-by-statistics/
@@shakya00 Nah he's not. Alexander is. That list is flawed, because it doesn't take into account things like grand strategy, manoeuvre, logistics etc. which are a part of being a great general. No way Wellington is a top 3 general of all time. He isn't even clearly the best *British* general (Marlborough can be argued as better), let alone top 3 of all time. Top 4 are: 1) Alexander 2-4) Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon. You can argue the 2-4 spots either way, so it's a bit of a toss up, but no-one beats Alexander imo. Napoleon's got some of the highest highs of any general, but also some of the lowest lows (none of Alexander, Caesar or Hannibal were responsible for a catastrophe as bad as Napoleon's Russia failure).
@@reefa2931 Yes sorry I mixed up the number of battle won and the "WAR score" so it made Napoleon and Wellington look very high. But if we take the average WAR per-battle Alexander the Great was the best one. But again he only fought in 9 battles and criteria are subjective. It's really hard to definetely give an objective ranking.
Napoleon won more battles than anyone recorded in history, Wellington included. Comparing Napoleon to Wellington is a joke, Napoleon was mostly on the offensive even against larger forces.
Good to see You're interested. Your reactions. But a lot's not said and mutte ..and words are Real 🇬🇧 Propaganda!))) And Waterloo was not their victory))) from 🇨🇵. PS. Later came others revolutions all across Europe, 1830 and 1848 . The French révolution heritage and Napoleon's code and reforms were adopted, until now, and the Russians monachs who played that game : no reforms. paid it hard 100 years later with the soviet révolution... communism... the ALL World ! History History....🫡👍 Very actual...isn'it
War Thunder is legit like one of my favorite games. It gets to be annoying occasionally, and has a bit of like a learning curve but it’s pretty fun for the most part in my opinion.
no did not create concentration camp and napoleon only attacked when europe declared war on him (the best defense is attack) and thanks to the english who paid europe to make war on napoleon.
BLACKPINK REACTION PLS. REASONS IS: OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REACTING TO BLACKPINK OR ANY GROUP/ARTISTS. THIS CHANNEL CONTAINS HISTORY AND VERY DEEP DISCUSSIONS.

SO I THINK YOU WILL DO GOOD ON REACTING TO THEM BECAUSE THE FIRST REACTION YOU MADE IS THE MOST UNIQUE ONE I'VE WATCHED. YOU ARE NOT (WOWED) BY IT BUT, YOU APPRECIATE THEM AND OVERTIME, I HOPE YOU WILL KNOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE AS INDIVIDULAS SO PLS REACT TO THEM ATLEAST TWICE OR ONCE A WEEK HEHE. ♥️

A trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Sylas Saint yea, I have been using flixzone} for years myself :)
Marshal Murat's nicknamed the "Dandy King" due to his dashing and flamboyant personality was probably the Napoleonic wars' finest cavalry commander under Napoleon was at the time half heartily supporting the sixth coalition against his old boss to try to kept his throne.
if you are interested in more historical personalities such as Napoleon, i would heavily recommend watching a documentary series on Caesar. Hannibal and Alexander the Great are also interesting. However in these cases i would heavily advise you to search for a documentary series which not only covers the warfare-side of things ( or singular battles ) but also the political and culture side of things, especially in the case of Caesar roman politic and culture adds A LOT to the whole story!
Yep. The same for Napoleon. Sure his battles were important! But he introduced the modern state in Europe.

Yeah he was a great general but nothing compared to napoleon and hannibal
To name a few. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Oda Nobunaga .😜🤩😉
Baji Rao I, tipu sultan and kapilendra deva.
Cyrus the Great
Ghengis Khan also obviously. He also died while on a campaign in China. Tamerlane. Maybe also Saladin and all his battles with the crusaders and others. But at this point heading more towards a rabbit hole lol.
Subutai
Also king Shaka of the Amazulu.
He was like 45 during this campaign

Frederik the Great, Hannibal, Caesar
Any other guys like Napoleon? Yeah, if you put politics aside, the most similar military strategist would be Adolf Hitler.
to answer your question, i'm french, and i have for ancestor a soldier of the grand army of napoleon.
In 1814 he was 45 years old.
Im here and I'm awake 😁
Alexander the great nearly took over the known world back then.

im a german and i have a lot of finnish genes, and no idea where they are from (in my family tree/ im 10% finnish on both sides). i read somewhere that the russian zar had a elite guard made up of 3000 finnish soldiers that traveled with him during the napoleonic wars. chances are that one of them left his genes somewhere in germany. everyone in europe is descented from someone who fought in the napoleonic wars but we usually dont know the person by name. do you know the name of your ancestors fighting in the war of 1812? My family tree has people with frech names (Garnier) ending up in poland during that time, im sure they were involved but i dont know in witch way.
Not evil genius but Duke of Wellington have the most wins next over Napoleon Bonaparte.
He mostly won against weak armies
Awesome
Can you guys watch the Cuban Missile Crisis by TimeGhost History?
I think napoleon would be the greatest if he would be rank alongside, pompey the great, hannibal barca, charles xii & labienus, just my opinion, men who won battles, but lost the war.
Well you know, maybe you have yourself ancestors that fought during the Napoleonic wars. Most migrations towards USA historically happened well after that period, during the course of the 19th century.
I think the only comparable figure to Napoleon is Hannibal and possibly Alexander the Great
Genghis Khan.
Scipio Africanus
@@deathpenguin005 LOL
@@thomasdrane9170 oh pls he isn't any better than Hannibal, caesar and Alexander
@@Hope-om1kc true but is it not because any ancient commander will be better than anyone meaning all the people listed are no better than Napoleon or Hannibal
They had maps....
A handful of generals (excluding admirals) are on Napoleon's level. Alexander the Great is the greatest military general of all time, Epic History TV have a series on him. Julius Caesar and Hannibal Barca are probably greater military minds too, but it's a toss up between these guys really.
You have a whole host of generals that are near to Napoleon's level: Philip of Macedon, Turenne, Gustavus, Frederick the Great, Scipio Africanus, Eugene of Savoy, the Duke of Marlborough, Genghis Khan, Subutai, Timur, Nader Shah, Oda Nobunaga, Pyrrhus of Epirus, Suvurov, Wellington etc.
Sorry Wellington but Napoleon is by far the best general who has ever lived. Don't worry you are the third !

@@shakya00 Nah he's not. Alexander is. That list is flawed, because it doesn't take into account things like grand strategy, manoeuvre, logistics etc. which are a part of being a great general. No way Wellington is a top 3 general of all time. He isn't even clearly the best *British* general (Marlborough can be argued as better), let alone top 3 of all time.
Top 4 are:
1) Alexander
2-4) Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon.
You can argue the 2-4 spots either way, so it's a bit of a toss up, but no-one beats Alexander imo. Napoleon's got some of the highest highs of any general, but also some of the lowest lows (none of Alexander, Caesar or Hannibal were responsible for a catastrophe as bad as Napoleon's Russia failure).
@@reefa2931 Yes sorry I mixed up the number of battle won and the "WAR score" so it made Napoleon and Wellington look very high. But if we take the average WAR per-battle Alexander the Great was the best one. But again he only fought in 9 battles and criteria are subjective. It's really hard to definetely give an objective ranking.
Dude Alexander isn't the greatest general what r u even talking abt
@@reefa2931 dude it's not like Alexander could've done any better Alexander isn't considered any better than Hannibal and caesar
Napoleon Bonaparte has the second highest number of victories. No.1 being the Duke of Wellington who defeated him.
So yes, Napoleon IS an evil genius.
What are you talking about lol ? The Duke of Wellington has won 39 battles but Napoleon has won 56 battles. Napoleon first, Wellington second.
Napoleon won more battles than anyone recorded in history, Wellington included. Comparing Napoleon to Wellington is a joke, Napoleon was mostly on the offensive even against larger forces.
moreover wellington gained waterloo thank to the arrival of the prussian army.
"Give me the night or the Prussians" said Wellington in the middle of the battle of Waterloo...
R u crazy wellington fought less battles and he isn't any better than him, he only won thanks to blucher
Plz react to kings and general Ashoka the great
Good to see You're interested. Your reactions. But a lot's not said and mutte ..and words are Real 🇬🇧 Propaganda!)))
And Waterloo was not their victory)))
from 🇨🇵.
PS. Later came others revolutions all across Europe, 1830 and 1848
. The French révolution heritage and Napoleon's code and reforms were adopted, until now, and the Russians monachs who played that game : no reforms. paid it hard 100 years later with the soviet révolution... communism... the ALL World ! History History....🫡👍
Very actual...isn'it
Vive l'Empereur
Genghis khan
War Thunder is legit like one of my favorite games. It gets to be annoying occasionally, and has a bit of like a learning curve but it’s pretty fun for the most part in my opinion.
Почан троль 😂😂😂😂
Someone similar to Napoleon? How about Hitler?
no did not create concentration camp and napoleon only attacked when europe declared war on him (the best defense is attack) and thanks to the english who paid europe to make war on napoleon.
Are you really comparing Hitler and Napoleon?
please react to [countries england has invaded ] very astounding relevation
