Don't worry guys, he's just getting ready to start the redemption arc. And get his chadness back
Rip. Drew went from Chad to Chad’s teen son. He even has the beanie.
Exactly
In my eyes, he was never a Chad
Why did he do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drew went from evolving into a Chad into American Justin Bieber
@@lawden210 How cruel and accurate
"France's Vietnam is Spain"
Drew, France's Vietnam is also Vietnam. _Napoleon's_ Vietnam was Spain
technically, France's Vietnam is more Algeria (1954-1962), from a frenchman
France has so many Vietnam's.
@@rudramakadia1473 indeed, but mainly Algeria, because this war still has an impact in the French-Algerian relations, unlike the relations with Vietnam
Tecnhnically
USA Spain is Vietnam Is Also new France's Spain is Vietnam and Algeria
@@voileetc8071 Except that from a pure military point of view (not political), France kind of "won" the Algerian war, or at the very least controlled most of the country until it was politically clear it wasn't worth it. The loss in the Vietnam war was clearer, the Union forces were defeated.
Even if both conflict were relatively small, each killing around 25,000 french soldiers. While more than 200,000 died in Spain, at a time in which France had a population twice lower.

The reason the West doesn’t venerate Napoleon that much is because he was French, and he kicked England and everyone else’s butts for years. It’s kinda like if your grandkids asked why you don’t talk about the old neighborhood bully more often and how he ruled the playground with an iron fist... Napoleon gave Europe PTSD
@@iteachyou1575 Too true, he was hated by the rich and loved by the poor (for the most part). In a lot of ways he was like Julius Caesar of old, who was obviously part of the upper class but understood that the ‘little’ people are where the power is..

*YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!* It was said that you would destroy the virgins, not rejoine them, bring balance to the chads, not leave it in darkness.
"Fun" fact: Napoleon crossed Berezina near the village called Studienka, which literally can be translated as "freezing cold" (adjective студёный (studyony) is specifically used to describe freezing cold water). As a result many French soldiers died of hypothermia during the crossing, including all of the engeneers of Napoleon's army, who were building pontoon bridges over Berezina.
Another fun fact: there's a french expression called "c'est la Bérézina" (it's the Berezina) when someone's losing and gets humiliated for it 😅
"Why not just kill him?"
If you start killing off defeated enemy leaders, it could become custom and then you could be next in losing your head after losing a war.
It is like the custom, that imprisoned officers and generals were treated with a lot more respect and generosity than the average soldier.
They didnt kill him because he gained his respect
Yeah, but also it would be disrespectful to kill him. They all had respect for him. It would be a no-no to kill him
didn't the pope also get pissed if monarchs and especially emperors were killed?
@@iamagryffindor988what? No because he would be a martyr
Also he was a monarch
Now this might have lead to rebellions rising up and killing monarchs
Which if you’re exiling napoleon and don’t want to die then yeah just exile him
@@irenaveksler1935 you understand that there are many reasons for that right? It is a matter of respect for one thing,it is also the fact that they are also monarchs so that wouldn't be good and of course that he would become a martyr

Not the same scale though, the number of troups involved in Iberia at the time is enormous. And it was in an era in which France had the best army in the world: the same way USA failed in Vietnam, despite having the best army in the world. That's probably where the analogy comes from.

Petition for Drew to keep his beard but shave the hair on his head.
please.
This is a must.

Drew needs it so bad, i got so sad when he shaved his beard
Josephine and Napoleon actually remained very close friends after their divorce. She actually agreed with him on the divorce, knowing he wanted an heir. He made sure she lived in the same luxery as before, and the two remained very good friends until her death.
And the reason Napoleon wasn't simply killed, is simple. He'd become a Martyr. If they just simply killed him, the French would obviously know of this. And his supporters would be furious, and who knows? Maybe someone even worse would rise to avenge the fallen Emperor
I'm also pretty sure the other powers actually respected Napoleon quite a bit, so I'd imagine they also didn't want to simply kill him
Also forgot that killing a European monarch would make the precedent to kill other monarchs
So after you kill France’s monarch
Possibly a revolution happens in many other monarch countries like Austria and Prussia
Or in war whenever a country loses
The European monarch on the losing team is executed
Now if you’re a European monarch you don’t want to be executed because you either lost a war or because of a revolution
Napoleon Bonapartes' last words was the army head of the army Josephine
@@elijahtidswell8457 "France, the Army, Josephine"
About why they didn’t kill Napoleon, killing monarchs was how they got in this mess in the first place.
No one wanted people to think you could, just kill a monarch.
No. Its just that the french genuinely liked napoléon. Unlike the english propoganda likes to say, we genuinely liked Napoléon (besides a few regions). Also, good to remind everyone that Napoleon defeated europe when europe declared war on us. 5 times. Of course we gonna love the dude
killing a monarch is giving the signal that any country can kill an emperor, king
and worse Napoleon never killed an emperor or king

@@harlanmartin9841 IT'S TIME
As for why they didn't kill him:
-There were rules of war that were followed (before the world wars)
-Killimg him would set a precedent of killing the losing monarch. The monarchs of Europe didn't want that to happen to them in the future
35:28 In the movie " Is Paris burning ? " there is a scene where we see the germans placing explosives in various monuments and bridges ; among the monuments we see them putting them in the invalides. The actors portraying german officers read the names of the battles registered around the tomb, when they reach Moscowa, they have that sour expression while saying "the defeat".
kinda late on this but fun fact, my great great great (idk how many grands are there) grandfather was the one who actually went to get Napoleon the first time he got exiled :)

Oversimplified created this joke based on the portrait of Napoleon and Alexander kissing, which was normal for leaders to do at that time I think.
@@avaneeshkhadye6816 You're wrong. This quote has been around the Internet for 10 years, so it was not created by Oversimplified. It is difficult to understand from what source it came from. In English sites I did not find information about this, but I know Russian. And... in Russian sites, too, nothing. I've done whole research and haven't found anything. Of the books where I mentioned this quote, they have been published recently. I tried to find something in French sites with the help of a translator, but nothing is clear (becouse I don't know French) and not what I need. I need a Frenchman to help me in my mini research, please 🥲

The European leaders in 1815:
Somehow Napoleon returned
Somehow? There weren’t even a single man looking to see if napoleon would try to regain control of France
The first time they exiled him they should have kept a boat around the island 24/7
And at least 10 British soldiers on the island looking after napoleon
Oversimplified taught me 100000 much more than my history teacher.

@@aftglobalmaps7878 What school do you go to lol
American schools teach you about only the US for a long time. If it’s about wars like ww2, it’s only about the American side.
What if drew grows a skinny mustache :O
I don’t ever read biographies but the Napoleon bio that was written a few years ago is absolutely amazing and really shows what a complex person he was
Its crazy that after all that, Napoleon's final battle would be against France's worst enemy, The British, actually really dramatic and deep when you think about it.
France's worst ennemy is not the UK... You should learn your history.
It is. (during the Middle Ages)

Chad drew is gone pain 😩💔
The main reason that Napoleon kept getting exiled was his popularity in France. If the British decided to execute him, he would effectively become a martyr. The French soldiers fought for him during his return from Elba, so how would they react if their emperor was executed by a foreign government? Napoleon may have been a controversial figure, but to many French, he was an emperor, their emperor
Not to mention, monarchs simply cover their own backs. It’s basically just an unwritten rule. Look how Napoleon spared the opposing monarch every single time they surrendered. It’s just how it is; they all know that if they become known as the king who kills other kings, then they’ll be executed as soon as they’re defeated themselves. Much safer to simply depose them.
At first I didn’t like the beard
Then I liked the beard
Then I adored the chad power
Then I missed the chad
Now we are stuck with the soy boy
Drew is so awesome his videos lighten up my day. Keep up the good work!
The fact that chad drew is gone has begun to make me realize how dim life is and how short it can be, we should live every moment of life to its fullest until the end
Why Alexander :(
You and Napoleon could’ve been something
Truly
Alexander, as a tsar, had to think first of all about the interests of his empire (like Napoleon). Otherwise, he would have been killed by the nobles as his father (Pavel 1) and grandfather (Peter 3). After the signing of the Peace of Tilsit, Napoleon celebrated his victory in France, but Alexander found himself under public oppression. The people wanted revenge.
R.I.P. Drew’s beard
*“That beard made him amazing and most gigachad person now he lost that award”* -Me
Rip beard
So weird to see him without beard again
I got used to it..
Is it me, or did he look extra German in this vid?
Sir ur exam
Everyone: *Runs away*
Napoleon: Why are you running?
They didn't oof him because then he would've become a martyr
A spanish poet wrote about Napoleon, I'm gonna translate it so you can understand the message, but it's obviously not gonna rhyme and it won't have that artistic touch.
"Oda al dos de Mayo"
"That genius of ambition
that in his deep delirium
sensing war, made the world
grave of his nation,
he wounded the Iberian lion
long awaiting to rule Spain;
and did not get to perceive,
drunk with pride and power,
that cannot a slave be,
people who know how to die."
In spanish:
"Aquel genio de ambición
que en su delirio profundo
captando guerra, hizo al mundo
sepulcro de su nación,
hirió al ibero león
ansiando a España regir;
y no llegó a percibir,
ebrio de orgullo y poder,
que no puede esclavo ser,
pueblo que sabe morir."
There was probably multiple reasons they kept him alive. Number one, it wasn't really a custom to kill enemy monarchies like that. True, it did happen from time to time, but for the most part no. Two, some semblance of respect maybe? Three, they didn't want to martyr him. Clearly France loved him. If they killed him and it made him a martyr, they might never again gain control of the French people as it would cause them to rise up in revenge of their beloved Emperor. Four, humiliation? I mean, for someone like Napoleon, a boring, meaningless existence on a remote island with no power, nothing to do but whither and slowly die is kind of a sad way to go. It must have been humiliating to him. He once ruled over Europe and then had nothing and was forced to live with nothing. So it could be any of those reasons or maybe a combination of them? I mean you'd think it would make more sense to just kill him, but if you consider the possibility that it would make him a martyr, killing him is the last thing you'd want to do.
I like these vids since we get more drew than usual.

6:35 Well, considering the Peninsular War probably screwed over Napoleon’s chances of total victory, maybe the comparison to D-Day for the Wellington invasion of Portugal makes sense.
Nope
The invasion of Spain was a ultimate shot in the foot for napoleon
Also the invasion of Russia did screw napolean
Don’t forget literally most countries on napoleons side
Switched sides
The only countries that didn’t switch sides were either liberated or simply held down by napoleon

Ohhhh man I’ve just watched Battlefield trailer and now Drew posted a video, I’m loving my life now.
The main reason Napoleon lost at Waterloo is because he had to wait for the ground to dry which kinda sucks for him but what sucks more was knowing that the rain that stopped him was caused by an indonesian volcano eruption.

Fun fact. Napoleon's belongings on Saint Helena and Elba have been passed around a lot to different places. I live near a Barracks. Called Stonehouse Barracks where they have Napoleons dining chair from ST Helena. I was able to sit in a chair used by the most powerful man in recent history and by the best general Europe has ever seen. It's much less impressive than if I got to sit in his throne buts it's interesting that you could probably eat at a table and not know that it belonged to a great historical figure
I'm from Leipzig, and here is a memorial for the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig (Völkerschlachtdenkmal) , which is also the largest in Europe (91m), and there is even a memorial for the demolition of the bridge,
it's really well worth seeing
