      Paul the first didn't just "die" he was assassinated by the British. There is no way in hell they didn't have a hand in his death. You should have said it but you left it out. Why?

      I am very happy that you mentioned the EXTREMELY important fact that the UK ordered the assassination of Czar Paul.
      However, your overview of the battle of Austerlitz aka “Napoleon’s Masterpiece” was not only wrong on the facts (like the well known fact that the casualties on the “broken ice” that were increased by French propaganda orders of magnitude, and in reality numbered only several hundred is well known and widely distributed), but missing an entire section that was the apex of the battle. The arrival of Devout! LoL.
      That was Napoleon’s whole plan.

    Either Napoleon is a genius. Or the Prussian, Austrian and Russian forces and leaders are incompetent mainly.

      I agree, but a few small details really rankle me, e.g - the use of different calendars during war time, especially when coordinating battlefiled and meeting pints over the course of weeks.
      And there seems to be a massive lack of communication between anyone in the coalition.
      I don't doubt his genius and skills though, I loved you're newest video about the peninsular wars and look forward too more!
      I've been binging your videos for a few hours now lol.

    • @robhara7911
      @robhara7911 5 років тому +38

      One thing to note here is that a Homogeneous army with a centralized leadership will always have a huge advantage than a coalition with many leaders. An example is Austerlitz, napoleon didnt even convene his entire war council. He directed them with unquestionable authority while the other side bickered and was in dispute about the tactics. Because of this napoleon was always able to react in time while the other side lacked centralized leadership. Another example is when napoleon was faced with another well led homogeneous army he would struggle like with Marengo, Eylau, Borodino, these battles he won but he struggled non the less.

    It always amazes me that military leaders in pre-modern times had such a clear idea what was going on on the battlefield. They had no radios or telephones, or aircraft to fly over the area, and yet they were able to understand and respond to the enemies movements, move their forces and time their attack as if they were playing a video game or a game of chess.

      They had countless scouts , and messengers on horse . They knew exactly how long it took for the letter to arrive , and Napoleon had to also calculate in the delay for any order given . It’s was 24/7 , a constant chain of horses ready to relay the latest news . Napoleon would get messages non stop from different flanks in his army .

    • @LexIconLS

      Part of it could be that they're armies were often on one giant battlefield, maybe a few miles across, instead of having dozens of small armies cruising all over the place in jeeps and humvees like we do now. Technology was worse, but big battles were more contained.

    “Nelson confides that every man will do his duty” was the original message, but due to a shortage of time the quicker to send “ England Expects” was substituted. This was to cast a long shadow and inspire the Royal Navy for the next 200 years, as it still does.

      Also it feels criminal that the elephant denarius wasn't a footnote somewhere in the Gallic wars series. Very important and iconic coin. In general coinage history is rather underrated.

    I hope you guys do a series on the civil war... what would be great is the battle of Wilson’s creek. It’s lesser known yet is massive early battle that has a Union army outnumbered more than 2/1 with most of the confederate force being Missouri militia... It would be a great place to start and perhaps focus more on lesser known campaigns such as Perryville, Stones River.. 2nd Bull Run.. and the Seven Days... Also Franklin and Nashville would be great to cover showing the almost self destruction of the Confederate Western Army. Not that you would need it but I’m a student of the civil war and have spent over 20 years focusing most of my reading and research on the conflict. I would be happy to assist in anyway that you think I could possibly be of assistance... Hope you consider delving into the American Civil War I believe that it would be an excellent expansion of your previous work, and attract new followers that don’t study European history.

    One thing to note during the Napoleonic wars is that a Homogeneous army with a centralized leadership will always have a huge advantage than a coalition with many leaders. An example is Austerlitz, napoleon didn't even convene his entire war council. He directed them with unquestionable authority while the other side bickered and was in dispute about the tactics. Because of this napoleon was always able to react in time while the other side lacked centralized leadership. Another example is when napoleon was faced with another well led homogeneous army he would struggle like with Marengo, Eylau, Borodino, these battles he won but he struggled non the less.

    27:25 uhh as someone from jena i can say the way from the river up to the plateau is short but very steep. I cant imagine a force that sits on the plateau can loose this position. Well I don't know how the vegetation of this mountain was in this time but today the mountain itself is a forest and the plateu a pure grassland
