"My eagles are victorious once again, but my star is setting" Napoleon could see the writing on the wall and many of his close friends had died in combat at that point. What a giant of history Napoleon is
-
Wellington famously said Napoleon's presence on the battlefield was worth 40,000 men. After seeing this video I now know what he meant.
-
No criticism intended here but the Battle of Dresden really deserves an episodes of its own. One of Napoleon’s finest performances- the level of coordination employed by his artillery and the stubborn resistance shown by his infantry were nothing short of masterful!
-
... and 28,000 gallons of rum and brandy. Finally, the important stuff.
-
Imagine being so overpowered that even with half of Europe against you they still don't want to attack you directly.
-
This Napoleon series is amazing. Actually this whole channel is amazing.
-
A common (very possible) legend says that after Kulm, Vandamme was brought before Alexander, who called him a thief (knowing the character, not a baseless accusation). Vandamm, famously short tempered, answered "how rich to be called a thief by a parricide !", referring the emperor's ambiguous role in his father's death. Napoleon said of the quarrelsome general : "If I had two Vandamme, I would execute one to serve as a warning for the other. But I have only one, so I keep him."

Something Metternich would never forgive was Napoleon's accusation during the fatal Dresden meeting: after a fruitless conversation, with Metternich refusing to lower his demands, Napoleon threw his hat to the ground, ranted as he paced around, before swiftly marching towards the Austrian diplomat with a raised finger: "How much did England pay you?" Metternich would never recover from that insult, since he always claimed to act in Austria's interest. And as usual a wonderful video, thank you very much!
-
Nobody : Russian artillery : depressing Napoleon , one friend at a time
-
Never has this period of history been presented in such a way; continues to amaze me, keep it up!
-
“The Allies had suffered a disastrous defeat, because they had ignored there own rule, don’t take on Napoleon in battle” chills
-
Such an honor to be part of this community. Your videos quality amazes me every time.
-
Those brits would fight until the last austrian
-
Now this is a chapter of the Napoleonic Wars that I haven't heard of before. I usually just hear that "after his retreat from Russia, Napoleon's enemies pounced while he was weak", nice to see the blanks be filled in. Thanks EHTV.
-
Napoleon: exists Europe: NOW THIS IS AN AVENGERS LEVEL THREAT
-
imagine being such an MVP that the enemy team would refuse to play with you. dayum.
-
How brilliant you have to be that every enemy commander is afraid to face you
-
You know your a military genius when your own enemy must use your own tactics against you to stand any chance of retaliation, Including military reform.
-
The bravest of the brave Marshal Ney was always my favorite but after watching these I think Davout was actually Napoleons best and most reliable Marshal
