"There's Nothing We Can Do" 

Fun fact: Beethoven was initially disappointed by Napoleon for crowning himself Emperor as many people know, what they dont know is that Beethoven changed his mind again, understanding that the "French Empire" was just a way to spread the Revolutionary values and defeat the Ancien Regime tyrants, not a way to be one, that's why Napoleon crowned himself instead of being crowned by some old aristocrat. Later, in 1820, a friend had the following to write in Beethoven’s conversation book (something that was used for communication after the composer went deaf), “I was [Napoleon’s] greatest enemy, but with the passage of time I have come to terms with him. If Napoleon were to return now, he could expect a better reception in Europe. He understood the spirit of the times and knew how to keep a firm hold on the reigns… He had an appreciation for art and science and hated darkness. He would have valued the Germans more and would have protected their rights… He fought the feudal system and was the protector of laws and rights.…” . Again it comes up in 1824, when Karl Czerny went to a coffeehouse with Beethoven. On the table they discovered a newspaper mentioning Napoleon, to which Beethoven remarked, “Napoleon! Formerly I disliked him. Now I think quite differently.”.

'Don't give up hope and become nihilistic like Napoleon' what was he meant to do? Man was exiled to a small island with no hope of escape or return home, ever.

we dont fall to nihilistic hopelessness because we didnt almost conquer the entire europe just to lose all that progress and get trapped in a small island

Sisyphus:"finally a worthy opponent"

Second interesting fact: Often, you will see Napoleon haters accusing him of dying while supporting slavery, but Napoleon like all humans changed through time . The decree of 29 March 1815 abolished slavery in all colonies and Napoleon completely understood how immoral it was to try to supress the Haitian Revolution before. In St Helena, Napoleon became friend of "Toby" a man that was supposed to be serving as his slave, Napoleon even offered to buy Toby's freedom but the British refused TWO times. The sadness of Napoleon brought him to write "As for poor Toby, he endures his misfortunes very quietly: he stoops to his work and spends his days in innocent tranquility. Certainly there is a wide step from poor Toby to a King Richard. And yet, the crime is not the less atrocious, for this man, after all, had his family, his happiness, and his liberty; and it was a horrible act of cruelty to bring him here to languish in the fetters of slavery." Napoleon was not a bad man, he was a man of his time who tried the best for people, and understood his mistakes.

Dude, so badass the major power of his time didn't declare war on a country but on 1 person only

Napoleon basically became Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi

One must imagine us doing something.

damn so behind this meme a depressing story

“Waking up late eating breakfast at 10 AM” That’s my bed time dude

He did not gave up he wrote the Memorial of Saint Hélène which made him a legend forever. Giving up would be committing suicide

I have my main exams starting from 9th October and YT is suggesting me There's nothing we can do

Since I had first seen this video, a hole in me that yearns for this type of content has been filled. not only have you filled me, but the gaps in my mind. thank you.

Atatürk spitting facts

There is nothing we can do 😭

The video is interesting but the ending doesn't entirely reflect reality. It's true that Napoleon fell into a depressive state when he was exiled to Saint Helena Island, but it's also true that in his last days he converted to Catholicism. He did not die without hope and in nihilism. He said for example "I die in the Apostolic and Roman Religion, in the bosom of which I was born more than fifty years ago." This fact is much better known in Italy than in the rest of the world because the famous poet Alessandro Manzoni, having received the news of Napoleon's conversion and death, wrote the poem "Il Cinque Maggio" which talks about his life up to his last days. This poem is still studied today in basically all italian schools.

all in all, a introverts dream

i never really knew anything about nepoleon untill i found out about this meme and his history is interesting

i wasnt expecting Atatürk. Thank you

You know i hate to be one of those people to say "Fr me" and stuff so Im going to put it in context. There is just something so kinda impactful about his story, like a man who had so much but lost it all, but what i find intresting that kinda reflects most teens or kids is the fact that he had a nice life on the island there wasnt torture or anything, which now there is alot of kids, teens, everyone who has a good life loving family and so much to fall back on. But in the end there is a odd feeling of sadness or emptyness inside of them from that loss or news or whatever it was. Obvious I over do it a little but in the end, He is kinda relatable. (god i sound cringy but correct me if im wrong on anything lol, seeya)

There really is nothing they can do 😔

Based ataturk

He's literally me fr fr😭😭😭

His last words were actually “La France, l'armée, tête d'armée, Joséphine …” (France, the army, head of the army, Joséphine)

atatürk is beyond his time. such a man.

Im surprised the creator of Attack On Titan didn't used this prior to post season 3.

Revolt against what? What are you gonna do with this small break in a never ending period of non-existence? Stop yapping. Someone make a meme on this 'motivational videos be like:'

00:31 there was still something we could do

From a meme to a motivation

“Not become a Napoleon on St. Helena” buddy, you will never became a Napoleon on Corsica even.

Brown Cynthia Harris William Johnson Maria

the island of elba is actually a wonderful island in italy

Because there is nothing we can do

That lead started getting to his brain

Gumbo is that you good job

Thank you for explaining ❤

Sounds like you are comparing yourself and others to Napoleon. The Audacity.

Small nitpick: Waterloo was not "the end of French domination". That was already over and done with after the failed Russian invasion. France under the hundred days was significantly weaker by a _lot_ than it was at Napoleon's pinnacle in 1812.

Thank you, I didnt know what to do.

0:43 Fuckin Eiffel tower during the reign of Napoleon. I knew he was good, but not _that_ good.

Curious, what did you prompt mid journey to get these images?

Please can someone explain to me why he was exiled for the second and not killed by his enemies after he lost?

I did not expect to see Atatürk in the video. Nice addition and also great content.

its rly sad that we made such a tragic event into a meme anyway have yall seen the minecraft villager there is noting we can do meme

If you speak frence read this > Dôme brumeux à la rivière, confiture, poire, ne dis pas que tu es ennuyé, je n'ai pas d'air, idem, bois, ouais, tout va bien.

Benis palls

Short answer, there was nothing we could do

Getting up at 10 am is late? Bro I wake up at 1 pm

Without Napoleon france lost almost every single battle

There is nothing we cant o

Bro has my English, definitely Norwegian. Good video!

Still sad they lost even more fights after that

And then theres people on tiktok that takes this piece of art and makes it trash

Hope is an illusion. There is no hope.

"It is what it is"

No hay nada que Podemos hacer

This man sounds like a prophet sent from God himself.

There is nothing we can

"We must revolt against nihilism." - You, clearly someone who hasnt been through shit

guys he's average height in his time (Napoleon Bonaparte is 5'2)

Nihilism is the only truth.

It's cope to deny nihilism

Deserved

Truly he was the Donald Trump of his age. A narcissist who couldn't handle not having power.
