- By the year 1800, Napoleon's political career was in full swing. However, as First Consul, he was hardly a man of the people - by a stroke of outrageous good fortune he even survived an assassination attempt in1800, which gave him the perfect excuse to eliminate several political enemies.

He didn't become "Emperor of France", he was chosen to be Emperor of the French by the people
? Kind of splitting hairs isn't it?
â@@richardobryan3909he didn't become the quarterback of the new York Giants. He was chosen to be the quarterback by the coaches.
I love lecturing on Napoleon. He has one of the most dramatic life stories in history! From being a refugee from Corsica, to taking over much of Europe to his exiles to Elba and then St. Helena! Crazy life!!
He was no ârefugee from Corsicaâ, but a proud French citizen from Corsica brought up by a pro French Corsican notable father, who was sent to a French military academy at the age of 10âŠ
@@brunol-p_g8800 he was, do you know what happened with him and Paoli? after he came back to Corsica his entire family was forced out of Corsica.
Can't wait for the reunion of Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix!
It already looks like it will be very very good
"He was empowered to one end alone, to give back power to the people." But apparently he did not share in his father's dream. lol
You are In for a huge disappointment. đđđđ
Just as the Napoleon movie trailer drops, this also gets uploaded? Thats surely a coincidence
Simply a good idea for a large history doc channel to draw views.
The first 10 minutes describes every leader in history including the current ones. So I'm not sure why Napoleon is the worst guy đ
who said he was the worst guy? i think napoleon was great actually. for a dictator in the early 1800s, hes the best one couldve asked for
He sure could have prevented ww1 from happening.
@@mini_mozzer He was not a "Dictator" he was EMPEROR of France ! English propaganda...
@@93200Jonas whats the difference
You know exactly why. Even today the ruling classes cannot help but fear him and what he stood for. They have to demonise him every chance they get, or the people might get 'ideas'. Ideas involving them not needing the ruling class and getting rid of them.
38:30:
Napoleon had one and only aim: for France to be at peace and safe.
France had been continuously attacked by England, the Perfide Albion, and other powers in coalitions funded by England since the Revolution, well before Napoleon came to power, with the aim of reinstating a king so âEurope would be at peaceâ as said in the own words of the British, because Englandâs aristocracy and royalty felt threatened by the French Revolution which could give ideas to the English, and thus royalty and aristocracy would loose their status and privileges.
Every time England and its coalitions attacked France and Napoleon defeated them, he gave them very generous terms in their surrender and the following peace. Europe would have been at peace, hadnât England, which wasnât even a continental country, existed. And for that there is a lot of resentment towards England in continental Europe.
After Napoleon had been tricked by England into boarding a UK Ship âbound to Englandâ where he was supposed to be able to live a free and peaceful life, what did England, this French colony who took a bad turn, do? Deport and exile him in St Helena and put Louis XVIII on the throne of France, against the will of the French people.
Heâs lucky the British didnât turn him over to the Prussians or the Spanish government; his fate wouldâve been quite different.
I agree with your sentiment, but your reasons are wrong. Britain was primarily concerned with economic, trade and colonial dominance. They funded multiple coalitions against France not because they didnât like he political ideals, but because France was their age old rival, and once Napoleon came to power he made France the dominant power. Something Britain could never allow. Britain itself had a parliament and was closer to revolutionary France than the autocratic monarchs of Austria Prussia and Russia.
France could sure use him right now
No
i'm french and i say no
Yes
yeah and drummer boys
@@Moda97 you'd rather be islamic?
It was an informative and magnificent video about Napoleon Bonaparte struggle and attempt to return French dominant on European content and demolishing 3rd and 4th correlation headed by Britain đŹđ§....thank you for sharing it
Make next part
A giant figure in the history books for sure!
Take that! Bony!
đđ đ„đ§ đ§đ„đ„Źđ¶đ„đđ«đ„„
The rant at 38:10 was utterly ridiculous nonsense. Unsubstantiated rhetoric. Napoleon tried to make peace many times and gave fairly generous terms. His enemies kept breaking the peace and declaring war on him.
This could happen in any country, at any time. I've never felt so unsafe in my life.
And it all ended on the bloody battlefield of Waterloo
Canât wait for the Napoleon movie!!
Really good
France or even EU needs someone like him now, love him for not taking any BS
Napoleon III was also pretty awesome, built the glorious Paris & modernized France
@@kl12345-u Nope he didn't
@@kl12345-u Bro I literraly live in Paris France
Paris was modernised by Le Baron Haussmann who worked during the second empire, 25 years after Napoleon's death.
Before giving any advices u should apply it.
My bad I thought u talked about Bonaparte
But i don't understand the link between the initial comment and your's ?
@@Moda97 no worries, I was saying âthe Thirdâ emperor, itâs just a random comment I added, sharing for ppl interested in the Napoleon III time period history, most ppl only think Napoleon B was the one that did it all, but he only started it, & mostly warred around. I lived in Paris 10+ yrs ago! Love the old times, itâs too messy now, so I moved to US LOL
He was right. All the forces of mankind could not defeat him. In the end, lt was his own ego, and one force of nature, a Russian winter, that defeated him. All despots fail to know when to stop. To know when enough is enough. To know when it's time for the common people to receive the benefits of their sacrifices.
20:45 he crowned himself. How could you guys mess this part up?
Napoleon DIDN'T HAVE BOATS!!!! *Pig snorts
...how timely, considering there's an upcoming titular film starred by Joaquin Phoenix
"I found the crown of France lying in the gutter.. so I picked it up" - Napoleon Bonaparte
France would vote for their best general as president right now
Not a chance, France is lost
A duck.
I sure am glade he sold us Louisiana đșđž
Great documentary
This is on Amazon and it was not made by this channel. They put on the graphics at the beginning, as if THEY made it. But they don't make documentaries
In a way, it sounds like many contemporary stories. What a French writer once wrote âplus ça change, plus câest la mĂȘme chose â - the more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is on Amazon and again, Timeline lies or suggests that THEY made this . Folks these people DO NO make documentaries. They grab them from some other platform and put them on their channel. I am surprise how they get away with not being reported for copyright infringement.
They pay royalties, genius.
Who thinks they make these documentaries? They curate and upload. Nothing wrong with that.
VIVE LA FRANCE
Three million men lost their lives in the Napoleonic Wars.

napoleon the french emperor
đđđ!!!

"He had opened up Egypt to the world." What a garbage comment. Egypt was not some hermetic kingdom isolated from the rest of the world. J David Markham really doesn't come across well at 1:55. Anybody who can say something this false about Egypt at that time really should keep his mouth shut and not appear in history videos.
Did he defeat the British? I thought that wasnât so?
He defeated the British a few times in Europeâs and kicked them out of Spain in 1809. The British landings in July 1809 in the Netherlands also got defeated quite easily. But yes ultimately the British were Victorious and never fully defeated by Napoleon. Britain could rely on the sea and navy to keep safe
First off, letâs acknowledge his roots are of italian/Genoese decent . I know Ajaccio sounds really French. đđđ.
He actually had a Non-European Paternal Haplogroup E
@@LordDirus007 Yes, as typical italians have the similar haplogroup. African, moor, Saracen, middle eastern, greek dominant many italian DNA
He didnât have Italian roots, Italy didnât even exist at the the time, the Union of the Italian peninsula into Italy only happened much later during the second half of the 19th century. For much of its history after Rome Corsica was part of the Republic of Genoa for close to 400 years before becoming part of France.
go tell a Corsican he's Italian... if you want to see your house exploded :p
Who funded him
Cannot wait until thanksgiving comes.
Like if you saw the trailer!
EDIT: saw the movie. Disappointment galore
Oh yeah
Ukraine has him right now.đ€«
Comedian đ€
Exactly spot on.đđ

A giant

And not a mention of the Jesuits?? Main stream BS
Evn couldn't conquer small continent as Europe..... what is Great about him?
EverythingâŠ.
âCouldnât conquer small continent as Europeâ what a ridiculous statement. He won most battles in history
The first 10 minutes describes every leader in history including the current ones. So I'm not sure why Napoleon is the worst guy đ
