The Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815) brought upheaval and destruction to Europe on an unprecedented scale. This is the story of the first half of those wars, when Napoleon Bonaparte, self-crowned Emperor of the French, ruled supreme on the battlefield and international stage - the greatest man of his age. But in the midst of victory, the seeds of his eventual downfall were sown.

This video is a compilation of the first six episodes of Epic History TV's Napoleonic Wars series.

    "He was hit in the shoulder" Me : He'll be fine. "by a cannon ball" Me : or not..

    If only Ridley Scott had seen your Napoleon series...
  • @kevinmagyar7348
    "the Duke of Brunswick was shot through the eyes - a wound that proved fatal" had me dead
  • @LetsGoGetThem
    Fun fact: When George Washington died, Napoleon who was a great admirer of the American experiment declared a national day of mourning.
  • @kaen_tqk3918
    Imagine being so badass, the war was named after you.
  • @thomasdaltry
    I just can't stop watching this series of Napoleon. Such a masterpiece.
  • @bauer9101
    After about 20 years of reading almost exclusively about WW1 and WW2 this is a revelation. I can’t wait to properly begin my journey of learning about this period. Fascinating stuff.
  • @n543576
    Napoleon is the living definition of "Fine ill do it myself".
  • @paulbarber4859
    Beardless Youth: "Forward!" Napoleon: "Beardless Youth!" Also Napoleon: "Forward!"
  • @Nick-rs5if
    The story of Napoleon's life and reign really are the stuff of legend. There are fantasy tales more realistic in scope than his military career. Napoleon's genius was simply astonishing!
  • "Bonaparte gave us example how we should win" still remains in the Polish anthem today. "What, impossible? I don't know such a word. Nothing is impossible for my Poles!" - Napoleon used to say about Polish soldiers in his army. Napoleon is still remembered and honoured in Poland!
  • @hranman485
    This is legitimately better then 99% of tv documentaries
  • @FriendlyYandere
    As a grand strategy gamer, a documentary like this is way more appealing than the one made with actors reenactments and historians interviews.
  • @stormtrooprgary
    Love this channel! Only recently found it, but it more than fills the hole that the History Channel left over a decade ago when they decided to produce reality shows instead of actual history, and I learn far more from these!
  • @jakehone
    I came here to watch for 5 minutes... and... an hour and 35 minutes later... ready to watch more. Bravo. Loved it.
  • @chaosXP3RT
    25:29 That young soldier probably didn't care about being scolded. He was probably just excited that the Emperor had spoken to him.
  • @durnham
    As a young lad, being a history lover all my life. It was to my great sadness that history seemed to have fallen by the way side on mainstream media, with even the history channel preferring programs about alien conspiracies over actual history and my favourite history games, total war, abandoning history for fantasy, its absolutely amazing to see a channel like Epic History taking up the mantle and absolutely nailing it. Love you guys!
  • I just can't overstate the quality of this series. Thank you so much
  • @geigertec5921
    My favorite part was when Napoleon saw the staff officer's helmet get shot off his head by a cannon ball and he simply said, "good thing you weren't taller." I hope that officer was able to go home to his family one day and tell them that story.
