''The Napoleonic Wars'' - OverSimplified REACTION (Part 2) 

well. Minus the millions of unnecessary deaths he caused of course.... It's a bit lost in the nice animations and clean numbers, what his wars actually meant for the people. Massive wars like this are NOT a clean affair even if played by civilised rules (which his wars weren't). It caused enormous suffering to an enormous amount of people. And in the end- nothing changed. He should obviously be respected as a general. But beyond that is a VERY different story.

@@Thisandthat8908 Yeah I respect him for his military genius, but what he did for the people and france and of all of europe is disgusting. In no way was he a good man, he put an end to the revolution and started dumbass wars of imperialism just for his own ego and glory, even if it killed millions...

@diesunddas8908 @tristanpinto9431 Well imo it was the monarchies from all other countries in Europe that started these wars everytime. Napoleon was just defending himself (and his country to begin with, including the people in this country, even though there was his ambition at stake too, obviously), considering the best defense is attack according to military strategy of course, once again...also, he did try to make peace several times with the other countries, even when he already had the upper hand, but all he got was multiple stabs in the back, whether betrayals from his relatives or previously submitted european monarchs which just never kept their promises or any of the treaties, so...yeah. Just a matter of perspective, as always. EDIT : Oh, and of course, the Brits could just never allow others to compete with their own empire anyway, so as the winners themselves (with absolutely flawless ethic on their side, certainly, you know) they can't help but to find out any excuses to make losers the bad guys, whatever the context ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ But honestly, I'd be inclined to consider let's say of a more greyish approach about this topic, by recognizing all the flaws on every side just like the brillant parts everyone was able to show time after time, only if the opposite side would be at least inclined as well to make the same effort, as matter of fair-play, needless to say...

@@Thisandthat8908 It's like you didn't even listen to the video... Napoleon, if you except the invasion of Russia, didn't start any of those wars so you can't put that on him. The first coalition wars was started by France, sure, but not by Napoleon who was a Junior officer at the time. "And in the end nothing change" Wut ? Reform education, agriculture, economy, creating the basis of law in the majority of western country, the disppearence of the Holy Roman Empire, creating the climate that will lead to the disappearence of many europpean monarchy... Sure. Absolutely NOTHING changed...

@@bramobin did you even watch the video ? Every time it was the allies that were full of monarchies that declared war on him

That and back then monarchs were still operating on the Divine Rule idea, that the royalty were chosen by God to lead the people. Killing a monarch, even an upstart like Napoleon, would send a bad message to their own people that murdering monarchs might be a pretty okay thing to do.

i read that the summer killed more of Napoleons men than winter.

@@vtsoi4413 yep

@@vtsoi4413 that my come from the Russian scorged earth

@@Dudewithguns-ww7wc No one really invaded Russia in the winter. The issue was always remaining in Russia until winter hit. Summer and disease killed hundreds of thousands of his men, unlike the winter that only killed tens of thousands.

@@YukoValis I Never Said HE invaded Russia in the winter, I said his invasion has been screwed over by winter, but I agree on your points

Really? More so than Jesus? Or Alexander?

@@Conorp77 apparently it’s true

@@Conorp77 yes.

@@Conorp77 he’s the most written about mortal man, more biographies than *days* since he died 200 years ago

only in the west. in the east is very different.

Not only that but he’d be seen as a martyr.

They could hardly have considered him "chosen by God", given the fact that he had styled himself as the champion of an anti-clerical revolution, had launched a military attack on the Papal State and in the end crowned himself emperor.

@@ansibarius4633 he didn't kill him to make him a martyr, and if you kill an emperor, what prevents the French from also killing the other emperors?

Probs XD

Love it

Let's see react
