The man’s life reads like a Greek tragedy. He built himself up from nothing to being one of the most important people in human history, in the end his tragic flaw was that he always wanted more. He had so many chances to stop and leave good enough alone, but he never could. Because of that he went from the emperor of France to man trapped by his enemies to die too young on an island far from his homeland. He went from the ruler of nothing, to the champion of Europe, to the ruler of nothing again. Such and interesting life.
Nah boludo, hay que decir que las demás potencias (en especial los soretes de los británicos. Después de todo, fueron los que organizaron la mayoría de las coaliciones) no se iban a detener hasta derrotar a Napoleón. Al final fue la lucha de un hombre contra todas las potencias
@@Alekssandro-di-Buonaparte He still could have stopped when he was exiled to Elba, it was a nice place. There were points earlier on that if he stopped he would have been fine. But he always kept pushing, and in the end made things worse for himself. He always wanted more.
we just, lost that sweet optimism, you know? its changed for us, everything. It all seems like everything is more bleak, lacking charm, that uniqueness that made the early internet a world to be explored with endless possibilities. Now, with everything seemingly out of our control, with most our ambitions and goals that we set which we thought was possible but now out of our reach… “there is nothing we can do”
Napoleon's life genuinely sounds fictional, like if you write a book and the character does what he did. especially when he came back to France. it would be absolutely panned for being "Unrealistic" but this man did it and that is part of History
most history is unrealstic, did you know a bunch of random farmers grouped up and took on the most powerful empire on the planet that owned 1/3 of the whole fucking planet. They won and made one of the strongest countries ever.
its just so heartbreaking to see one of the most powerful men in history just break like that proves that all human beings re the same no matter the status or the power there is a moment in everyones life where u just say "there is nothing we can do" even in Napoleons
Napoleon before (1803 - 1812) Generals : Sire we are surrounded by 4 enemies Napoleon: yeah its really TERRIBLE FOR THEM Napoleon after 1815: There is nothing we can really do
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Fun fact: Napoleon was emperor of France at the age of 30 while most of the countries doesn't allow you to become president until you become 35 (at least in Europe)
Emperor and president are different from each other. A 13 yr old can be the emperor of the entire french nation. If the situation called for it! That was before democracy I mean this is basic knowledge you learn in 4-5th grade
French here , we don't learn that in France we don't really talk about the life of Napoleon but more about what he did so you made me learn something today ( btw am 15/16) @@Galecto.
{FOR ME} In my mind everything goes wild, I lose myself in your eyes I drown myself in the wave of your loving gaze I only want your soul going wild on my skin A flower, a woman in your heart, Roméo I'm nothing but your name, the tormenting breath Of our bodies in the dark moving slowly And at night I cry tears that stream down my cheeks I only think of you when the days ends, only when My sad demons fall heavily on me into the endless abyss Love me so that the roses wither That our souls sink into deep tears And at night when all is dark, I watch you dance I resonate on kisses all down your chest Lost in the avalanche of my confused heart Who are you? Where are you? Through the cries, by the laughter of your startled shadow I resonate in kisses In my mind everything goes wild, I lose myself in your eyes I drown myself in the vagueness of your loving gaze I only want your soul going wild in my skin A flower, a woman in your heart, Roméo I'm nothing but your name, the tormenting breath Of our bodies in the dark moving slowly And at night when all is dark, I watch you dance
'Soldiers of my Old Guard, I bid you farewell. For twenty years you have been my constant companions on the road to honour and glory. In these latter times, as in the days of our prosperity, you have never ceased to be models of courage and fidelity. With men such as you our cause would not have been lost; but the war would have been interminable; it would have been a civil war, and France would only have become unhappier still. I have therefore sacrificed all of our interests to those of la patrie; I shall depart. But you, my friends, continue to serve France. Her happiness was my only thought; it shall continue to be the object of my desires. Do not lament my fate; the only reason I have allowed myself to survive was so that I could further serve our glory. I want to write down the great deeds which we have done together. Adieu, my children! Would that I could press you all to my heart. Let me at least embrace your standard….!’ -Napoleon
Actually, this comment shows that even in defeat, you can choose your way out. Many people misunderstand the "There is nothing we can do" as desperate. It's not. It is with a smile, even though admittedly, a very sad smile. Sacrificing self for the happiness of someone more important.
@@patrickbarker3442 Hi, thanks for reminding me of this comment. According to the reviews, the movie had good action and cool moments, but it was pretty shallow when it comes to Napoleon's character, I'm not going to see it until Thursday 30.11 because I got movie tickets there for $5 lol
Napoleon when he overthinks: "There's nothing we can do 😞" Napoleon after realizing he's just overthinking: ""After making a mistake or suffering a misfortune, the man of genius always gets back on his feet 💪💪"
Even when he could do nothing but wait on that island for death, he still wrote down all of his tales of glory so that we remember him, even after all of this time.
Accept fate and embrace that you atleast survive after what you will go through. Smile for that moment when beatings are most intense because then no one can take that smile off.
He lived, he conquered, he reigned, and he died, but he won’t ever be forgotten, he’s truly lived a life worth of dying for; something that very few of us can do or say in today’s world… (and I’m no exception)
One must imagine Sisyphus happy. But what about Napoleon? Well, one must imagine Napoleon proud. Yes, he lost everything, and it is true that he ultimately was left on an island far from home, but the fact of the matter is that he did something while he could, he accomplished truly incredible things that eclipse even some of the greatest men in history. Once he was on that island there was nothing to be done, for he had already done all that there was to do, so he could only reminisce, to think, on the past and how high he rose, to ponder what may have happened if he were anyone but himself and made different choices, and to be proud for people shall forever know his name through his deeds. The heights reached in and of themselves is enough to render a man's heart joyous. One must imagine Napoleon rightfully proud.
He actually died undignified, in commoner’s clothes and on a bed. Possibly poisoned too. He would express a lot that death is preferable to his exile. Initially, he had that proudness of achievement but his companions’ writings show that as time went on he felt more and more hopeless. Yet through it he still tried 5 times to escape before his death. So he never gave up despite his initial claim of “I consider my career finished” early into his imprisonment.
The world has never felt so cold- St. Helena so bare, The Atlantic so vast- Stripped from my grasp There is nothing we can do Through the despondent nights I manage Only by the thought of The way you looked Before France The Army Josephine
In his last words, he called to his first wife, Josephine. During their marriage, Napoleon achieved most of his successes: Italy, Egypt, France in his swift coup, Germany and Austria, Prussia and Poland, all under his control. Since 1809, when his marriage with an Austrian princess that never liked him occured, the Empire started to crumble. Historians say that their love was of a platonical kind: they had no kids, though Napoleon recognised her children as his and gave her son Eugene an Italian crown. Despite he was cheating on her during various campaigns and had several offsprings, she always forgave him and there were little conflicts between them both. He saw her last time shortly before his marriage on an Austrian princess that gave him son, Napoleon II - an heir to his legacy. He could conquer Europe, he could regret his campaign in Russia, he could be won twice after Elba resurgence and sent to an empty island 8000 kms far from his fatherland... but he was left alone without a possibility to meet people whom he loved and cared the most. He was left without his son, without country, without beloved ones. This is the biggest tragedy of Napoleon Bonaparte and there was really nothing he could do.
@@gantz332 yeah so he did. Despite that they never broke up and had been remaining close to the moment Napoleon decided to choose political ambitions over his real marriage.
@@hefzy8478 Still a great virtue to crush Turkish army and stay almost without provision in a detached province for 1 year. He evacuated from Egypt on hearing about Suvorov's triumph in Italy
The slight decrease in pace makes this much more thoughtful and reflective. Fits perfect with Napoleon at Saint Helena. Meme Culture certainly always finds the best tunes to carry their message
From a faceless average kid. To one of the most well known french emperors to nothing once again, his hardwork payed off. He just didn't settle leading to his demise, A truly amazing and smart person.
"To one of the most well known french emperors to nothing once again" He was way more than that, he was one of the most well know French emperor, he was a brilliant military genius with incredible talent and tactics, he perfected his ways on the battlefield and he was one of the most influential leaders in europe. so sad to see him gone, once being on top of the world with such a sad and tragic ending. Vive L'Empereur!
To add: On the battlefield he didn't see himself as more then the people, at the battle of lodi, he aimed the cannons, got covered in mud and earned his men's respect so much that when he ordered a basically suicidal charge on the only bridge around his men threw themselves at it and took it even tho the fierce austrian resistance. Vive L'Empereur!
Such as mesmerizing piece of art, about a man who himself was as mesmerizing. Individual who came from small aristocratic family from Mediterranean island, risen through revolution and became Emperor, humbled existing European order time and time again, and even after defeat managed to make spectacular return. And even if he lost then, in the end he won immortality, becoming one of the most memorable and influential figures in our history. Vive l’Empereur!

After Waterloo he was so broken that he didn't want to escape. And he had a chance. Even back in France when he got deposed and tried to seek asylum in America common people surrunded his carriage and offered to folow him back to Paris to reinstate his power, but he refused
@@Leto965 this conditions were against his volonté, but the only way to pass them was to restart with the throne, Napoléon was tired at this time and said it will be against the insterest of France to come back a third time
I am sure we all remember how the meme was very used and alive few months ago and now already forgotten.. Shows the timeline of something being in trend to becoming absolutely forgotten in our modern world Fast fashion isn’t only about clothes, but nearly everything now, everything wears off for society incredibly fast, society keeps looking for more, more, newer, newer Yet, There is Nothing We Can Do…

For some reason the poor quality really adds to this song, like the video is already weird enough but hearing it and seeing it through grainy audio and visual recordings makes the upbeat song actually fit with what’s shown.
Lorsque l'horizon semble dépourvu de toute lueur d'espoir, quand les chemins semblent épuisés et que les efforts semblent vains, nous nous trouvons à la croisée des chemins de l'existence. C'est dans ces moments où l'idée que "quand il n'y a plus rien à faire, c'est fini" s'installe dans nos pensées. Pourtant, peut-être devrions-nous considérer ce point de non-retour comme une invitation à redéfinir notre perception du "faire". L'existence, en elle-même, ne se mesure pas uniquement à l'action extérieure, mais aussi à la réflexion intérieure, à la contemplation et à l'acceptation. Dans l'apparente vacuité de l'inaction, une autre dimension s'ouvre, celle de la compréhension profonde de soi-même. C'est peut-être dans ces moments où l'on ne peut plus rien faire au sens conventionnel que l'on est confronté à l'opportunité de faire l'expérience de l'être. Au lieu de voir la fin comme une défaite, on peut la considérer comme une transition vers une nouvelle perspective. Lorsque les routes sont bloquées, les portes closes, et que toutes les tentatives paraissent vaines, il est temps de s'immerger dans l'océan de l'introspection. La sérénité peut être trouvée dans l'acceptation de l'impuissance apparente et dans la découverte de la paix intérieure. C'est peut-être dans le silence de l'inaction que l'on peut entendre les murmures de sa propre âme. Ainsi, lorsque nous pensons que tout est fini, peut-être devrions-nous considérer cela comme le commencement d'une nouvelle aventure, une exploration des recoins les plus profonds de notre être. Car même lorsque l'action extérieure semble limitée, le potentiel de croissance intérieure est infini. La fin d'une voie peut marquer le début d'un voyage intérieur, où la découverte de soi devient la plus grande réalisation.
there's nothing we can do... 😔 we tried our best... ☹️ we may as well give up.... 😟 we try and try but... we can't win... this is the end... 😮💨 the time of our luck has ended the end....
My girlfriend, who I knew for 7 years as a friend and got to date for about a year, and had so many future plans with, broke up with me over text after a huge argument. When I asked what I could do to make things right, or if we could talk more about it, she simply said "There is nothing you can do." This song and trend hit incredibly hard.
Bro, this story really touched me, I even shed tears. I'm really sorry, the words of your ex-girlfriend really sounded painful, I hope that everything is fine with you now and your heart does not ache about this
girls are so confusing. they just hate being wrong and lose interest pretty fast, even if your charming, funny, rich or whatever. its ok the bros will always listen to your worries.
I think the biggest issue we face in mankind is a lack of purpose, we all want to be great and conquer, but todays society doesn’t allow legends or heroes…
My brother and sister, I need to inform you that today society is awaiting for new legends, new heroes, corruption still out there behind the building of government, many people still suffer from poverty, new slavery and child labor is rising on horizon and many more toward us. So my brother and sister, it's true that society "try" to prevent legends and heroes in many way, but did that stop us from being that? Go fixing those corruption my brother, Go helping those who in need my sister, Go out there and prove that the man who trying to make history, truly can happened in this age.
My parents have recently divorced and I feel like I can remember some of the good times that my parents had but now, some of the things they said make sense. It has really been a wake-up call seeing how fast something can crumble and the terrifying sadness that can be revealed by just remembering when we were all together. Still love you, Mom and Dad! ❤🩹
I can relate, brother. When you realise it isn't something that happened just like that, but has actually went on for a while, and you didn't know any better. That causes sadness, and even a feeling of culpability sometimes, but they must be surpassed ; remember the good times, they'll always be there to comfort you. As the saying goes : don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Your parents may have a different relationship now, yet I'm sure they love you just like they always did. I'll pray to the Lord for you.
