Napoleon may have seemed or been arrogant, but the fact he was willing to get covered in blood and mud just like his troops, rather than the generals they were used to who sat on horses and delegated orders, was a massive powermove.

Fun fact; Napoleon won more military battles than Alexander The Great, Julius Caesar, Attila The Hun & Genghis Khan COMBINED! The only reason he lost Waterloo was his Hubris. He was so good, too good. To the point of believing he couldn’t possibly lose, because he never lost before. Basically he didn’t respect his enemy & greatly underestimated the English.

I find myself coming back to this video so often, and every time I‘m here the thought grows on me, that this video has the greatest opening of any UA-cam video. Ever! The little general, the incredible muffled sound of the hymn, the army escalating to horsemen, the cannon going boom, the cut in the end. Perfection!
Well it was more in the fact that socially he was always rather awkward one way or another, he was by all accounts quite handsome. Even when he became more confident he was still not charming as he was a very restless man who did not like too much protocol as he believed it wasted time. Napoleon's charisma came less from charm than more from his personal bravery, exceptional knowledge and cutting wit that when people were around him they knew he knew EXACTLY what he was talking about.
Not so much ugly than he was "a creep" aka behave in a very off-putting manner and he didn't take care of himself (and severed multiple depression through his life), in either look or health which gave him a sickly look. He was the proto-nerd and stuck out like a sore thumb, not taking care of his image in his young year, used to be isolated, not familiar with etiquette, mode and other norms. This got better with Josephine and him rising rank, as he started taking care of his health, look and more.
Fun fact: Napoleon's wife, Josephine, was almost killed during the Revolution. Remember how she was a divorcee? Well, it turns out that her first husband was one of the aristocrats killed during the reign of terror. In fact, Josephine was also imprisoned and sentenced to death. She wasn't killed because five days later, Robespierre was.
Bonus: Napoleon had the odd habit of occasionally disguising himself as an ordinary Frenchman, walking through the streets while asking random passers-by what they thought of their emperor.
@Long Hei Linus KWAN He was a dictator turned monarch. A dictator is just any leader who has absolute poltical power but without royal trappings such as when he was first Consul. He was a effective leader and better than the Bourbons that's for sure.
Fun fact: after napoleon defeated Prussia he visited the grave of the fredrick The great and said “if this man was still alive today I wouldn’t be standing here right now”

Napoleon unlike other generals is actually not selfish to his troops and actually respect his army which boosted the mood of the army for fighting for him. (True story)
The thing I want to see animated the most is his return from exile.. he started marching towards the capitol, and faced down the army sent to arrest him, said will you shoot your emperor? They joined him instead ..and that happened like 10 more times. Fucking total boss. The movie Waterloo depicted it super well haha, Seriously one of the greatest generals of all time an insanely good record. Not to mention his monumental leaps in legal code, law and stuff, limiting the church was genius, he's not wrong about it just being used to oppress people and maintain the upper class historically Wasn't perfect, definitely some shitty stuff especially from a modern perspective, but obviously using modern sensibilities applied to historical figures isn't really applicable Like his fuckups with slavery It's not like with ghandi where he's a pedo & racist under analysis, or mother Theresa, a monster letting people die and suffer and taking money from dictators
Imagine being one of the bullies in his teenage years and realizing that you could have been best friends with the ruler of France, if you'd been a nicer guy.
Ruler of France doesn't do him justice at all. Ruler of Europe is most appropriate. As a person from the Netherlands, his influence is present to this day.
Fun fact: at 8:49 the action of Napoleon throwing and breaking that porcelain when demanding the Austrians sign the peace treaty is completely historically accurate! Napoleon smashed a piece of porcelain that belonged to Ludwig Count Von Cobenzl, an Austrian foreign minister tasked with negotiating territorial disputes with France after the end of the first coalition war at the peace of Campo Formio. After much debate about border issues with France’s newly established territorial gains encroaching on the Rhineland, Napoleon threatened war again before smashing Cobenzl’s favored porcelain figure, which was a gift from empress Catherine II thanking him for his previous diplomatic works in St. Petersburg. Cobenzl and the Austrians would sign said treaty on that same day of October 17, 1797, speechless from Napoleon’s gallant behavior. Oversimplified, I don’t know if you did that on purpose or not, but your attention to insane details like that is why I love your channel so much.
@@PratikshaGupta-v1n found it referenced in a biography I’m reading about Austria’s involvement in European wars/politics from 1790 to 1850 through the perspective of Clemens Von Metternich, Austria’s foreign affairs minister during the congress of Vienna. The book is titled “Metternich: Strategist and Visionary” by Wolfram Siemann
wow that's so awesome!! i love that oversimplified adds those small details to his videos, it really shows the deep investigation that is behind each and every single of his videos. pure dedication !!
I've watched these Napoleon videos at least a dozen times, but I just now realized that the whole "baby boy" exchange between Napolean and Alexander of Russia is a reference to the Austrian statesmen Metternich calling Alexander "the biggest baby on earth." 24:58

except that the old queen already had a strong empire and she was not going to fight with her soldiers and the fleet was already on all fronts England has never had a war on their own territories and is not surrounded powerful country 2 km from home :) in short comparing England and France is comparing a vulture and an eagle nothing to do between an opportunist who stays hidden and steals the loot of others and a fighter who has existed for extremely for a long time and who knew how to both fight on several fronts and stay at the top in terms of a powerful country
No wonder it took some time for their new videos to release, 'cause Oversimplified's editing and storytelling is evolving, better and better! Always excited and surprised to watch a new video of theirs.
This has came up so many times on my auto play... and every time I let the opening just play out. She really did give birth to an entire army. I kinda want my history books to have 0:47, just a still shot of that in there somewhere next to the text that describes Napoleon's background.
@@alejandrodiego1125 Euuuh I think not. For what I remember the Japanese army was incredibly modern (thanks to all the French, English and American counselors they hired, the movie Last Samurai is based upon the story of a french general they transformed into an American guy for the movie). Much more than the outdated Russian army of that time. Correct me if I'm wrong
This guy is never resting on his laurels. Production quality is always increasing. Details are always becoming better researched.

We can't fully send all of the thank you's that are packed in ships. Remember that Mr. Beast is the Mister of the Seas, and Oversimplified, the master of the Continent. Sending it thru planes are just a fantasy, you can't on waters because it's *b l o c c a d e s,* and sending it on land means a lot of dead people. It's the 19th Century, not the 20th.

I find myself coming back to this video so often, and every time I‘m here the thought grows on me, that this video has the greatest opening of any UA-cam video. Ever!
The little general, the incredible muffled sound of the hymn, the army escalating to horsemen, the cannon going boom, the cut in the end. Perfection!
For a man who is called "ugly" he sure does have some flattering paintings.
Well it was more in the fact that socially he was always rather awkward one way or another, he was by all accounts quite handsome. Even when he became more confident he was still not charming as he was a very restless man who did not like too much protocol as he believed it wasted time. Napoleon's charisma came less from charm than more from his personal bravery, exceptional knowledge and cutting wit that when people were around him they knew he knew EXACTLY what he was talking about.
Actually he was a nice looking dude
Not so much ugly than he was "a creep" aka behave in a very off-putting manner and he didn't take care of himself (and severed multiple depression through his life), in either look or health which gave him a sickly look.
He was the proto-nerd and stuck out like a sore thumb, not taking care of his image in his young year, used to be isolated, not familiar with etiquette, mode and other norms.
This got better with Josephine and him rising rank, as he started taking care of his health, look and more.
Monarchs payed artists well to paint them in a more desirable light as well, so its likely they intentionally made him more attractive
@@sadcrab9125 he actually does look the same in most of his paintings

Fun fact: Napoleon's wife, Josephine, was almost killed during the Revolution. Remember how she was a divorcee? Well, it turns out that her first husband was one of the aristocrats killed during the reign of terror. In fact, Josephine was also imprisoned and sentenced to death. She wasn't killed because five days later, Robespierre was.
Bonus: Napoleon had the odd habit of occasionally disguising himself as an ordinary Frenchman, walking through the streets while asking random passers-by what they thought of their emperor.
@@davidw.1595 bro the balls this dude has jesus christ 💀
I guess OverSimplified really lived up to it’s name by leaving that detail out.
@Long Hei Linus KWAN He was a dictator turned monarch. A dictator is just any leader who has absolute poltical power but without royal trappings such as when he was first Consul. He was a effective leader and better than the Bourbons that's for sure.
Ah, well. She’s still dead in the end, so there’s that.
Actually, Napoleon was average highted. It was just that English inches were shorter than French inches...

Russian general: Good idea!
Russia during WW2 -
Russian soldier: We could run away.
Russian general: So you have chosen death.
Napoleon unlike other generals is actually not selfish to his troops and actually respect his army which boosted the mood of the army for fighting for him. (True story)
WOW
Its amazing how much his army loved him. Like genuine love.
Hell general like that would know what they're doing to their army. They treat them like their son.

The thing I want to see animated the most is his return from exile.. he started marching towards the capitol, and faced down the army sent to arrest him, said will you shoot your emperor? They joined him instead ..and that happened like 10 more times. Fucking total boss.
The movie Waterloo depicted it super well haha,
Seriously one of the greatest generals of all time an insanely good record.
Not to mention his monumental leaps in legal code, law and stuff, limiting the church was genius, he's not wrong about it just being used to oppress people and maintain the upper class historically
Wasn't perfect, definitely some shitty stuff especially from a modern perspective, but obviously using modern sensibilities applied to historical figures isn't really applicable
Like his fuckups with slavery

Fun fact: at 8:49 the action of Napoleon throwing and breaking that porcelain when demanding the Austrians sign the peace treaty is completely historically accurate! Napoleon smashed a piece of porcelain that belonged to Ludwig Count Von Cobenzl, an Austrian foreign minister tasked with negotiating territorial disputes with France after the end of the first coalition war at the peace of Campo Formio. After much debate about border issues with France’s newly established territorial gains encroaching on the Rhineland, Napoleon threatened war again before smashing Cobenzl’s favored porcelain figure, which was a gift from empress Catherine II thanking him for his previous diplomatic works in St. Petersburg. Cobenzl and the Austrians would sign said treaty on that same day of October 17, 1797, speechless from Napoleon’s gallant behavior. Oversimplified, I don’t know if you did that on purpose or not, but your attention to insane details like that is why I love your channel so much.
Dude where'd you read all that I bet no one would else have mentioned it
@@PratikshaGupta-v1n found it referenced in a biography I’m reading about Austria’s involvement in European wars/politics from 1790 to 1850 through the perspective of Clemens Von Metternich, Austria’s foreign affairs minister during the congress of Vienna. The book is titled “Metternich: Strategist and Visionary” by Wolfram Siemann
wow that's so awesome!! i love that oversimplified adds those small details to his videos, it really shows the deep investigation that is behind each and every single of his videos. pure dedication !!
@@PratikshaGupta-v1nhistory books
Something tells me it was intentional, and I bet oversimplified would be happy someone caught it
I've watched these Napoleon videos at least a dozen times, but I just now realized that the whole "baby boy" exchange between Napolean and Alexander of Russia is a reference to the Austrian statesmen Metternich calling Alexander "the biggest baby on earth." 24:58

For what I remember the Japanese army was incredibly modern (thanks to all the French, English and American counselors they hired, the movie Last Samurai is based upon the story of a french general they transformed into an American guy for the movie). Much more than the outdated Russian army of that time.
