Death. Death killed Napolean. To death.
He died to death?!
I think it's possible Napoleon was murdered simply because he lived by the sword. As it was with Rome, so also it similarly died
Studies have shown that the leading cause of death is not living anymore.
Every time I see someone mentioning dying 2x in a statement I just remember those rushed breaking news stories that various reporters have presented, with concise headlines like "local man killed to death over fatal stabbing" or "deceased murder victim found in park mortally wounded from homicide"
@@01oo011I just hope it wasn't fatal 🥺
If you can find it Dr. Susanah Lipscombe presented a series about the hidden killers in the home throughout history, set in various time periods, such as the Elizabethen, Georgian, and Victorian ages. It details the everyday objects and practices that were unknowingly killing thousands of people throughout history.
I understood that reference 😁 Suzy's docs are a good watch, but borderline sensationalism. Take em with a pinch of salt
I love her....I can go on a massive binger on her work.
@@SharpAssKnittingNeedles fair point, unfortunately a lot of people these days need to be sensatinalised for them to take interest.
@@iangregory3719 very good point! We can blame that across the pond to the US here, and the point when the History Channel and other respected ones like Discovery, with their Civilization sub-channel, becoming rags of insane conspiracy theory bullshit. That was a sad shift 😢
@@iangregory3719 Having watched even more absolute history, that seems to be a trope with them, especially how they name their videos. Good stuff for the most part. Don't understand why they feel the need to lean into the click bait angle 😢
That arsenic green was nice tho
So basically, arsenic could have come from his wallpaper, his drink, the soil, probably hand cream, his food, his water probably, the mites in his bedsheets, underwear, and clothes, and probably also the ink in the books he read.
😁
That's about it.
I went to St Helena last year. Longwood House is very impressive and the Valley of the Tomb, where Napoleon was initially buried, is very moving.
Arsenic was also used in medicine.
Napoleon thinking after Waterloo that he could just go retire to private life somewhere reminds me of Hermann Goering thinking he could do the same after WWII ended… it seems delusional. Although, I guess Hirohito was allowed to stay emperor after the war, so maybe it’s not as crazy as I think.
Comparing Napoleon to Goering or Hirohito seems kind of arbitrarily. There were tons of European leaders trying to gain power, Napoleon was just really really good at fighting wars.
Diarrhea and hemorrhoids affecting his performance at Waterloo? How appropriate! 😂
i would HATE to have to ride a horse with raging hemmoroids!
Amazing how you missed a well documented dinner when some British officials had dinner with Napoleon on St. Helena. All of those who ate with Napoleon was sick shortly after. If that isn't poison I don't know what else is.
Could be food poisoning, but not intentional
People were also poisoned just by breathing in poorly ventilated air in rooms with arsenic wallpaper. You don't have to touch it to be poisoned by it, although mould would certainly help disseminate arsenic particulates in the air (which worsens the breathing issues).
But also the medical treatments at the time were very primitive and destructive to the patient's body anyway, so just that alone could have made a patient with gastric ulcers and stomach cancer so compromised that they died earlier than they might have with just the cancer alone.
interesting stuff man!! thnx!!
So it WASN'T eating 10 tonnes of ice cream at the Piggly Wiggly? 😮
😂
P I G G L Y W I G G L Y
EXELLENT!
ZIGGY PIGGY ZIGGY PIGGY 🐖
Love your content
Would you say that his content leaves you feeling ....content?
That scheel's green was no joke. It was a beautiful killer in the Victorian era for sure.
And calomel is definitely not something to be messed with.
I think I would take Soilent Green before Arsenic Green.
I mean ... Soylent Green is disgusting and unethical, but at least nutrious and healthy
His home was painted with lead and arsenic based paints.
Scheele's Green killed quite a few people
I noticed the picture that was showed at the very beginning showed much of the decor was dyed green.
3 things that could defeat Napoleon, Duke of Wellington, a herd of rabbits, and wallpaper
Actually I think there's an officer by the last name of Sterling does when did Napoleon's progress more than anybody and it was his nephew that Captain the ship that took him into exile in fact Napoleon stated this that was the man that he dreaded the most
And here I always thought that it was the green arsenic wallpaper.
And.......if he picked it up in his environment, why did not others in his staff not get sick and die?
Do we know for sure that they didn’t? Or might it have accelerated stomach cancer?
Glasses? This your drawer video? Was expecting no glasses Simon.
Arsenic and strychnine for fun? They went hard back in the day.
Don't give Keith Richards any ideas.
great video as always but why rushing??
Doesn't he film a shit ton of videos a day? I'd be rushed too 😂 quite the prodigious uploader, Simon
The wallpaper killed Napolean. Arsenic coat wallpaper.
If ambient arsenic was the cause, not only Napoleon, but the others coinhabiting with him would have suffered similar symptoms. Is there any information on this?
How does this guy have so much time to host his many channels, this is like the 6th one ive seen haha
My brain keeps telling me that this title says "what if I killed napoleon"
Only Napoleon would get got by the color green. Let alone Wall Paper decorated in Fleur-de-lis patten made of Scheeles green that was just patriotically Gassing him on behalf of the France during those Humid days.
That Dye when damp flakes and releases stibine gas.
I knew this one ahead of time for once. But didn't know about all the allegations of assassination
Do you think while crossing the Channel Napoleon thought about he had always dreamed of doing it, just under much different circumstances?
He appears to have died from a succession of Lowe blows😖. That said, I’m surprised he wasn’t simply executed upon capture, the normal fate of charismatic leaders on the losing side😂 How civilised, to exile him with some of his chums and a personal physician. Goering himself might have wished for such treatment 🫤
It sounds like the British doctors did do some poisoning, but it was roughly the same set of poisons they would have given to an upperclass Londoner of the same period.
Hey Squarespace! How do I get in on this dragon drop thingie?
Pray
I don't even care about this topic i just want to hear Simons velvety accent when he says "muuhhhda"
He didn’t die on the island he was rescued by Jean Lafitte and both died shortly after escaping to America
Arsenic was a not uncommon treatment for various infections.
Oscar Wilde was in a room decorated with Scheeles Green when he said that quote. He was just commenting on how ugly it was, but still.
It was the legal team representing B0eing. They have a time machine they only use to cut manufacturing costs
😂😂
Paint
According to Chiun in Remo unarmed and dangerous it was a Sinanja assassin that killed him.
Because, "assassination is the highest form of public service. . ."
@@derrickray5464 thank you, some one who gets me.
Tumick upsets?
Interesting very interesting..
OR Napoleon was in so much pain he wanted to end it and the laxatives were the fastest way a doctor could do it humanely by simply speeding up the process.. only they will know and thats how they would want it
Or what if he got poisoned after first becoming really sick? That would be the best time to wait and do it that way there would be no question how he got sick in then first place.
Heart failure. Ultimately, the heart always fails you.
Gilles Messier?? The “Our Own Devices” guy was the author of this episode?
What was with the images from a nuclear reactor and the cartoons of fusion? Lol.
Anybody got the arsenic and strychnine hulk serum recipe? Asking for… educational purposes
It was beauty that killed the beast...
They doctored his Wine and cognac with arsenic and that got him in the end.
It was Count Tristan de Montholon that carried out this dastardly deed.
Simon, when you coming back to Biographics?
The movie is awesome
Wellington? Why is it always Wellington?
Death is nothing... But to live ingloriously and in disgrace... Is to die... Every day.
Death is nothing but to live defeated is to die every day?
A 2021 study by an international team of gastrointestinal pathologists concluded that Napoleon died of stomach cancer.
I wonder how they explained his body's slow decomposition
He was poisoned. Occam's razor.
Instead of over Analyzing the situation just go with the simple probable answer
@@ziggy8036 Yah. Simple probable answer makes the most sense. He was poisoned. Occam’s razor.
@@thebuccaneersden okay thanks. I looked up Occam’s razor a few years ago. I tried to come up with a simplified definition to see how well my memory is lol
@@ziggy8036 np 😊 take care!
When a conspiracy likely involving many people is suspected, Occam's Razor would imply that the simplest answer is that he was poisoned by his environment. Someone would have squealed and there would be documentary evidence of some sort.
Or it was intentional at the end - a form of euthanasia. Perhaps even on napoleons request.
I'm no fan of empires in general or of Napoleon in particular. That said, no matter how bad an exiled enemy actually was, cruelty toward captives reflects badly on the captors.
Vsauce is back!?!
A British exonerating the British involvement in Napoleon's death. What a surprise
Tomache lol😅
People always seem to need to invent drama, see U.S. politics now. Combination of being deathly ill, ancient medicine practices, and ignorance of chemicals in day to day lives should have been enough.
I heard it was Vince McMahon all along.
Napoleon screwed Napoleon
what killed Napoleon 😮? 16 min 😢 well i guess ill have to google it because F this
uh huh..............
Napoleon killed Napoleon.
😅
Syphilis
Sorry 😔 it was me.
His blood turned into a fine wine a butter sauce. Soooooo good!
If I'm correct, it was some kind of poisoning.
Sounds like medieval medicine killed him
Didn't think I was gonna click into a 16 minute video for this.
:)))))
:)
Cringe. Cringe killed the emperor.
yes your ancestors were smart in every profession
Of course the British killed him...........I mean that is not even a question.
What killed Napoleon.....Joaquin Phoenix
Of course coming from an Englishmen, you may want to take all this information with a grain of salt. 😂
The Brits killed him, end of story.
It wasn't the British it was from within Napoleon's inner circle and it was Count Tristan de Montholon based on the studies in the 1950s by a Swedish dentist and Amateur Toxicologist Dr. Sten Forhusuvd and found traces of arsenic in a single strand of Napoleon's hair about 15 times or more, it was Chronic Arsenic poisoning that caused his death when his body was exhumed 19 years after his death it was found perfectly intact no signs of deterioration, conclusion arsenic kills but it also preserves tissue.
French food. All that wine and butter probably ain't so great for long-term gut health.
Butter deserves some respect... you don't... 😂
Ummm. I've been there. Their food is so much cleaner than even we are used to.
Napoleon suffered from Little Man Syndrome.
oscar..
Nobody unalived him. He just grew his hair out and now makes whiny music about his ex-boyfriends. Apparently, he's now dating some football player🤷♂️
Cope and Seethe, scrub.
@@AngeliqueStP dine on feces and unalive ys, phanoik😒✌️
Who cares about who killed Napoleon?!
Napoleon is dead already anyways😅
As someone who doesn't find modern history even remotely intersting, this is borderline but a very good video. Thank you! Very interesting!
You must not like a lot of history, then, because modern history is considered from 1500 to 1945.
There’s a lot of interesting stuff that happened between those dates if you pick up a book.
All throughout the world as well.
@@Faceplay2 I'm actually a voracious reader 😂 I just find anything after the Victorian era very boring to study in detail. Sure, interesting things happened and this is when groundbreaking science really started being discovered in replicable and intricately discrete fashion, but generally meh 🤷♂️ just doesn't scratch the itch of the imagination for me. Good on you for liking it though.
