You miss the point in the comments. Wwii armies were much more numerous, but at the age of radio communications, planes, motorised light reconnaissance units, and so on. Napoleon and his marshals led half a million men with paper maps, horse messengers, and by looking them from a nearby hill. Never, in the history of human conflicts, so many men were coordinated, and with such precision, by so few. So yeah, quite impressive.

It wouldn't work out that well if all of Spain got conquered. Maybe they would do something like Portugal and form a union with their colonies, but New Spain would definitely try and gain independence once Spain lost its grip, just as it happened in 1830.

But after the spanish revolt against the French, British landed forces in portugal and with the help of portuguese they beat the remaining French forces occupying Lisbon.

That was after the invasion of Russia and the retreat from Poland to the Saxony where Eugene de Bearauneis (Napoleon's step son) was in command to hold the line until his father can gather sufficient strength to muster a force to engage them in Eastern Germany which he did in March 1813

Wrong. Savoy and Nice were french in 1814, France lost them in 1815.

Yes

Do it then.

There are many reasons at once. The Tilsit Peace (1807) between France and Russia was very flimsy. The continental blockade of England was extremely unprofitable for Russia, so she traded in secret. And by 1811, Russia openly continued to trade with England, and other European countries also traded through Russia. Napoleon did not like it, so he decided to act by force. + Napoleon's personal ambitions were also influenced. He wanted to use Russia's resources to capture India, which would be a big blow to England.

тогда не было концепции фронтов в иберии шла партизанская война да она высосала силы франции но серьезных столкновений не было а не фронтовая тогда победа в войне решалось в отдельных битвах вто время не было понятия фронтов потому что россия нарушила условия тильзитского мира возобновила торговлю с британией

Oh my bad, thanks for the information tho!

Napoleon is one of the worst rulers in the world and the worst ruler of France. to lose all the colonies, to lose the prestige of the country, to lose in the population, after Napoleon, nationalism began to emerge in Europe, which would develop into Nazism. After the mediocrity of Napoleon, France was despised by everyone, people stopped speaking French. This is really "genius", which suggests that the worst enemy is always among his own. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This video is giving you a very wrong persoective though. Napoleon didn't conquer and occupy all of Europe. He beat the armies of his enemies and they surrendered to him. These countries were all still completely functional which is why Napoleon wasn't able to win in the end. The Nazi's on the other hand conquered all of these countries (for the most part) and did indeed occupy and govern them. They were completely under german control. Even against Russia the Nazi's took far more territory and actually governed all of the territory west of moscow. Napoleon didn't occupy anything, he just marched towards Moscow and burned it down which didn't achieve anything.

​@@dalaios2132 Napoleon did the same thing in Europe in 1809 to 1812, all of Europe was under his command. The only functional and independent countries were Russia, the United Kingdom and Sweden, the rest were dominated by the power of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Sorry, but the first nation which defeated napoleonic armies was Spain. Napoleon himself said: " It was the Spanish Ulcer that ruined me." When most of Europe was occupied by France, and Russia had not yet been invaded by Napoleon, Spain was the first nation that rose against Napoleon, deploying 450,000 soldiers on Spanish territory, the figures on the interactive map do not reflect the amount of French soldiers who were really deployed in Spain.

Im out 👉

He regretted Spain invasion for moral reason ! Peninsula battles didn't weaken so much. French army still stronger after that. 600.000 of its best fighters have been sent to Russia...

​@@thierryfromgwada9312The moral effect throughout Europe of the first great defeat of an entire Napoleonic army, which also fell entirely prisoner, including all its officers, was undoubtedly the factor that encouraged the spirit of resistance everywhere. THE WEAR OF THE NAPOLEON ARMIES IN THE PENINSULA WAS DECISIVE, to the point that the army that invaded Russia was already composed mostly of recruits of rank or force, from foreigners, not French. Many of them deserted at the first opportunity. For example, the Spaniards who had been part of the Spanish army sent to Denmark under the command of the Marquis of La Romana, joined en masse with the Russians, who formed with them the Imperial Alexander Regiment, placed at the service and guard of the Tsarina. You will have to study the matter a little more.

@@jocair For sure not. When i talk about moral, I talk about ethics. It was not acceptable morally to invade Spain. No confusion. Napoleon never lost a battle, himself, in the peninsula. But he have already lost a battle before Spain war. Then, the lost of the peninsula didn't affect his personal reputation of invicibility ! The peninsula Wars, was not decisive at all. He went to Russia with the biggest army ever seen ! The spirit of resistance ?!! What are you talking about ? 😂 During the Russia campaign, russian avoid the direct confrontation, and even burnt their whole capital ! Napoleon reached Moscow, and without winter, no disaster would happen. What you call spirit of resistance ?? Seriously ? The others countries did nothing at that time. Why Spain, Portugal and Great Britain didn't try to invade France before the Russian campaign, if they felt Napoleon so weak ?? Spanish and Portuguese people often overinterpret the lost of the peninsula by Napoleon. Napoleon invaded the peninsula only for the blockade. These 2 countries was not a threat for France, unlike, the others countries which wanted to destroy the french republic. If the peninsula was a major objective, threating the french republic, the french army would not have lost.

@@thierryfromgwada9312 The FACT IS THAT NAPOLEON lost the Peninsular War. Napoleon himself tried to right the situation personally, but he saw that he could not achieve it, so he again abandoned his armies on the peninsula, to their fate, just as he did before in Egypt. You can read Thiers' work, where all these things are detailed, despite being very favorable to Napoleon... Furthermore, the Spanish and English armies DID INVADE FRANCE, IN 1913-14, AND CONTRIBUTED DECISIVELY TO THE FALL AND ABDICATION OF NAPOLEÍN, AFTER THE BATTLE OF TOULOUSE, WHICH, OBVIOUSLY, HE LOST. The French chauvinism that you display so ardently, continues to ignore that the so-called 'Grande Armée' that tried to invade Russia, unfortunately failing, was composed, for the most part, of foreign mercenaries, and many of them FORCED. The desertions were constant. For my part, as a French citizen, or simply as a history lover, I have always been fascinated by the figure of Napoleon. But I have always been very clear about his genius, and also about his flaws and failures, many of them with tremendous consequences, even for himself.

@@jocair French lost the peninsula war, but Napoleon, himself, never lost a battle in this part of the world. Afterwards, he went back to France because Prussia was about to attacks France, letting his marshalls deal with the situation, better than it was before his coming in Spain ! Open a book to have more informations about that era. Any amateur in Napoleonic era know this basic. Spanish and Portuguese invaded France only after the Russian defeat. Never before. What didn't they do it before as Napoleon supposes to be weak after the peninsula war ? The invasion of Spanish and Portuguese was not decisive at all bro. Napoleon abdicated because of Autrichian, russian and Prussian armies in Eastern France ! French didn't even notice the Spanish invasion 😂 You're just a pretentious spanish guy, pretenting he is french. Mercenaries are forced ? So they are not Mercenaries 😂 Most of the Grand Armée, in 1812, was foreigners soldiers. And what ? What the point with our discussion ? The desertion is due to the roughness of the journey to Moscow. But why are talking about that ? You think to prove me that you know better the napoleonic wars than me. But you don't ! 😁 You're just another arrogant guy on RU-vid.

Old story about two Royal Navy captains having a meal. One is lamenting how Napoleon is master of Europe, the other is more up beat saying who cares we have the rest of the world. (Bit of an exaggeration both ways, but with an element of truth). But it was trade with the rest of the world and the beginnings of the industrial revolution, which had got a boost from contracts to supply the war time 1,000 ship Royal Navy. (As a contract to the lowest bidder able to supply the Navy with a 1,000,000 widgets a year, was a great incentive for someone to invent and build a steam powered widget factory.) That gave Britain the funds and material to eventually destroy Napoleonic France.
