He could've won if he was in his prime. Not saying he would, just saying theirs a chance. However as he got older he wasn't as sharp.

@@etho7351 yes that's true. Napoleon was a genius

The thing that makes napoleon such a baller is that the seventh coalition didn't declare war on France but it declared war on napoleon himself

@@zfkingwilliam1918 wow

Sacre blut

And England seems to have a history for retreat and run away.. 😁

You have never seen the English military history.

Woah woah woah guys relax Jesus I said nothing disrespectful at all and what you both said did not argue my point. Number 1) I mentioned Napoleon himself, not the French country. You both mentioned England as a country, not someone specific. And as a matter of fact I can do your job for you, Arthur Wellesley. The famous commander who famously led to the coalition against Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, the same general who constantly retreated from Napoleon during his campaign in Spain. But guys retreat is perfectly okay as long as it leads to a victory, which in Spain it did. But even still, if you both even brought that up it wouldn't matter because Arthur did not leave his troops during his campaign. For point 2) guys I didn't even mention retreat at all, I said and I quote "......have a history of leaving troops behind" which Napoleon does. Egypt, Russia all the places where he did, in Russia he did it twice! No next time before you talk gentleman please bring some facts with your bag of meaningless statements. Checkmate.

@@Don_Kedich Troops on Egypt were when he left agreed to be repatriated u der treaty with the UK. The British reneged on this treaty. They eventually did withdraw the troops. Napoleon left his troops in the campible hands of Murat after Russia in 1812.

It's like strategy games or DND : If general is less than 100m away, then troops gain +10 moral +25 strenght and + 5 defense.

@@kawoizaki In real life, due to Napolean, troops gained +85 moral, +100 strength and +95 defence

His lineage still exists

Both Spain and Russia were not enforcing the continental blockade against the uk.

It's easy to say that he shouldn't have invaded Russia in hindsight, but it's far more complicated.

They should have invaded UK 🇬🇧

@@pagaun he shouldn't have made an economical blockade in the first place!

Aurora The Wyvern dude uncool

Lmao I see the meme squad is already here!

*the french angered the dutch in 1812 the dutch punished them hard*

L'Aigle you clearly dont understand the background of the comment

waiting for him to upload aaah

He did, they burnt it when he was inside

vous voulez dire: mon dieu !!

Lol that just seems like a lame excuse. He fucked it. If it is not for the weather, it had been gone

It’s Big Brain Time

how does that make any sense? if you occupy the land known as moscow, then you have occupied it. now THAT makes perfect sense.

Such a shame we don’t learn about this in schools in the US, it isn’t really our history but now I’m stuck to YT videos to learn about these wars

Wow. Poor guy i know one better. Go check out Epic history it resume every Napoleon 's battle step by step his moove resuming a 10 minutes video just over one single battle. It talks about other topics like Alexander the great history of lot of stuffs

*GOOD*

@@gutsjoestar7450 Did u see the “ever” word?

@KLK B it's not just a batyle it's the war in general

@KLK B nah hes right tho, it's the best history videos ever, on the whole internet

Na the UK was stronger its just they didn't make many offensives, loads of coalition members were pretty incompetent, and napoleon is a madlad

@@toddhoward7649 "Na the UK was stronger its just they didn't make many offensives" ---> What a bullshit. They didn't make offensives because they were not strong... You claim coalition members were incompetent, but they did the job even if it was hard, unlike Britain that just sat on their island only providing money. You claim they were strong and could beat the French army but didn't do it because they just didn't want... what a clown you are. It's not that they didn't want, they just could not.

Nope, just one man Napoleon.

@@secrectpirate3096 France was the most populated country of Europe, had a lot of competent (even genius) officers and generals because of the system of the Revolution wich was based on talent and not anymore on blood. French citizens were fighting for a system, their right and the new concept of "Nation". Napoléon was indeed important, but he was just the right man, at the right time for this.

@Todd Howard on land the french were way stronger than britain but on the sea it was a different story

Napoleon forgot that Moscow was no capital of Russia at this time.

just have a good navy and troll everyone. i would even go to say that what pushed him over the edge because he wanted to force everyone not to work with British anymore which lead to him losing Spain and even russia later.

Wouldn’t say it was just the sea. We had the greatest navy at the time which destroyed Napoleons. You set up to your strengths. It makes sense Britain focusing on the navy since it’s surrounded by water. Napoleon focused his efforts on building armies. 600k troops when he invaded Russia for example.

Technically it was the rest of Europe (encouraged by Britain and its divide and conquer policy regarding Continental Europe - I can't remember the exact name of this doctrine) that seeked war continuously against France, Napoleon just took the opportunity. :D

In Russia, more French soldiers died during the Summer offensive than during the Winter retreat...

Napoleon came back in 1939 but just in a different country

Who are the others?

No, Napoleon is exactly on 1st place

@@madmoggy5098 what about Genghis Khan?

@@madmoggy5098 or that Prussian king I forgot he's name tho

He had not guarantees it would stop wars. You cannot give back all these territories just like that.

Jacques You can’t forget, unlike the armchair historians, Napoleon didn’t have hindsight and had already been taking gambles his whole life.

only Austria would have been at peace with France then. Everyone else had nothing to do with this Austrian proposal, and would still have fought France.

@@benshapiromemesarefunny8725 Yes refusing such conditions was part of his personality, but Napoleon was not alone, the men running the Empire obviously saw France's defeat coming. The video actually makes a mistake, the Frankfurt proposals are a bit after Leipzig.

@@abadyr_ The frankfurt proposals were actually made right after Leipzig, and did not only involve the Austrians, but apparently the allies as a whole.

he'd probably end up as a politician or something probably for a southern state

@@jabber1990 nah he said that he would devote his life to science if he moved to the US. Politics was over for him, so he decided to live peacefully in the US

There’s a Lucky Luke comic on that subject.

he would be the new emperor of United states😅 and during Napoleonic wars Napoleon was enough friendly with America he sold the Louisana for only 15 millions dollars. ($300,000,000 current U.S dollars) .. Joking I hope no.don't need him. No I'm joking Napoléon is god. I want him to come back

Oh hi soap

@@giroshi8902 hi

@@coltengottlob10 Yuri my friend, you should never have come here, Goodbye, Captain Price. Meet you in hell.

Lol that's so stupid burning your own country but a smart strategy

Yes, but his ambitions also cost many life's. It is one thing to fight for your country and try to strengthen it and another to try and conquer whole Europe. Seeing all those videos about great man and conquering only led to greater wars and the ultimate realization of some that peace and unification maybe the better long lasting way .

@@Jaybiooh Napoleon never wanted to conquer europe lmao, it was UK and Allies that started those wars, if it wasn't for them, Napoleon would've ruled at peace

He literally left the battle of Waterloo early, gave command to a guy who accidentally sent the entire calvary to death by near point blank artillary fire.

This video make no sense because Napoleon didn't fought one country per coalition. Napoleon was the most badass guy in history... And France was the most badass country in history on earth during the revolutionary wars. They were in trouble with the revolution and with the pro royalists but had the balls to declare war on everyone . Then they continued winning until Napoleon became crazy and lost his genius

Me too. That is a very curios "what if" scenario.

GalahadGregory I think he would’ve just lived peacefully at that point.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ok lets try and guess. Let's assume no one checks the port and Napoleon gets on a ship to the USA , he arrives. So what would happen next?

@@scotandiamapping4549 Probably become a memeber of congress.

Moscow had been the symbolic capital of Russia since the Medieval ages

Hey there was no st. Petersburg in middle ages it was Petrograd

@@rocekth Napoleon wanted to pressure the Tsar into peace and concession. He did not want to rion the Tsar for fear of preventing his agreement to Napoleons terms. That's why he neither freed the slaves nor occupied the Tsars true capital, to avoid unnecessary provocation.

@Master Robotnik Why the Caps?

Battle Way, St. Petersburg was Petrograd only in the 1914-1924 years

the mongols think otherwise

unless you invade from east

at least not while you are bleeding men from Spain and the British are harassing you

The central powers think otherwise

@@jakesweet1000 And they too were driven out by the Russians. The Russians skewered the Mongols.

lol, napoleon and hitler were entirely different. napoleon was conquering for humanitary ideals. hitler was fighting for eugenic ideals. napoleon didn't want to wage war, he was forced to fight war because of the european monarchies afraid of the democracy arising fron france. you view of history is very dreamlike and fantasy tale. real life is a lot different.

that was pre industrial revolution,you dont have factories making fireguns,you dont just raise more soldiers,it takes forever to make all that stuff,thats why the industrial revolution was such a big thing.

Hecc

Stavros S. I get your point but idk, abandoning YOUR CAPITAL? If a country lost it’s capital then it doesn’t have much left, so to me Thats as bad as it gets

@@RedMissou Moscow wasn't really capital whatsoever nor important to Russia at that time

@no What? It was strategically a VERY important city otherwise why would Napoleon invade it?

@@RedMissou St. Petersburg was the capital at the time.

@@RedMissou it wasnt very important at all.

It wasn't the same Russia, at all.

@@xenotypos r/wooooooosh

It wouldn't have change anything in geopolitics. The last years of Napoleon would just have been a little more better for him.

Napoleon did not win a war. He lost more than 10 battles during his retreat which are not included on the list.

Wouldn’t say Britain were weak they beet everyone

Small yes

britain was richer and more advanced country with similar population. france military was only so large because made up of foreigners and teenage conscripts

@@Lewis-zq5wsthey won seven years’ war by the population advantage in North America, Mughal’s decline in India and Russia’s crazy Czar in Europe. Due to these wins British were able to impose their fleet as dominant in the oceans, a partially anti-British coalition was formed in US’ independence war and probably others would have formed after, but Napoleonic wars spread fear of continental armies throughout Europe and Britain used that to make sure that other powers send their men to die to stop a European continental hegemony, so they by supporting the anti-rival force maintained supremacy. It was smart. But then for partially no reason they decided to sing the triple entente, making the German military paranoia a political possibility for Berlin, which waged war as fast as it could to not fight the Triple Entente at full force, causing WWI and making Britain in debt with US to maintain the Empire created in the previous centuries. This was the beginning of the end of British dominance, in fact they were forced to accept a naval limitation treaty from USA, after other British errors (mainly due to excessive anti-communism) made them not stopping Hitler before 1939 the II WW broke out and British Empire was destroyed. It wasn’t smart

Allen Johnson Quite certainly the French commander Grouchy didn’t know that the bulk of the Prussian army was moving to Waterloo whilst he was chasing only one corps that Blücher stationed at Wavre as a blocking force.

And United Kingdom
