- He was the man who would define the start of the 19th century. He has more documented victories than any other battlefield commander in history. From a relatively humble background, he rose to become master of Europe.
How did Napoleon Bonaparte rise from unknown artillery officer to become 'Master of Europe'? Born into a modest family in Corsica in 1769, he would survive the French Revolution and become one of the most influential military leaders in history.
This is the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Featuring historians Dr Michael Rowe, Professor Pamela Pilbeam and Professor David Andress.

Another great hit of history, Ty!
Chaos is a ladder, and napoleon rode it all the way up
But you climb ladders 👀
@@FlawlessBegetz yeah well he had an ascender
Excellent documentary 💯💯👏👏. Love watching it.
Very interesting and researched. Thank you.
Start studying about Napoleon I always remembered reading about how his father send him to the military school in France even though he was a Corsican, he because formally trained as both artillery and infantry officer. And of course his rise started at Tulon. Then the whiff of grapeshot then the actions of Italy, then the Egypt expedition, then the coup d'etat of 1799. Then after again, victorious against the Austrians and 1800 in Italy that's what cemented the path to become emporer of france.
Also Napoleon actually really was loved by his soldiers since Italy. And they were intensely loyal to him even though you're great respect for them. Dying men would scream "vive le emperor" as he would come by.
But Napoleon was a brilliant tactician and a masterful soldier. Just like his heroes Alexander and Caesar.
Corsica was French territory in the 1800s
Yeah brilliant to march into a Russian winter.😅
@@johnnymematik8649i didn't know June was winter time.
@@johnnymematik8649more french soldiers died in the summer than in the winter
“Vive l’empreur!”
Love your videos and commentary. Keep up the good work!
Great documentary
Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed! The effort and creativity you've put into this video really shine through. Can't wait to see more!
He was not short! Every other comment mentions this. He was 5'6". Normal for the period. Read a book people!
I agree,he wasnt tall,but not short either. This documentary is simply repeating old inaccuracies.
Humans have not evolved to be taller since Napoleonic times, height averages back then were skewed downward due to widespread malnutrition. By the standards of the well fed aristocracy and officer class he was considered short.
@@StuSaville Not from evolution but from consuming beef & other protein raised on steroids.
His men gave him the name " Little Corporal" when he personally sighted the guns which led to the myth that he was small!
we get it you're 5'6 and feel attacked
France becomes a Republic.
Straight away gets an Emperor
Classic case of buyers remorse.
Ikr I mean damn, at least Rome got to function as a republic for centuries before that
10 years later. 1789 rev - 1799 Nap
how much history in those 10 years - one of my most written about eras
yes, but it is by merit that all social promotion now works at all levels, it is no longer by blood and heredity.
That was good, thank you!
We need a 10 episode series not a movie it won’t be long enough for the whole story
Than go watch war and peace exactly what you asked for.
Ridley Scott says he has a cut that is almost 5 hrs long. Would love to see that released Snyder cut style minus all the drama
His legacy is not only in France, but a Dutchman, I can say our legal system, a bunch of words in our language and the last names, were all a result of Napoleon! It was not all bad stuff! And let’s face it, the alternative were the British, not much to choose those days!
Dont forget the introduction of the metric system. Before Napoleon it was al inches, feet, rods, yards, miles and whatever else they came up with.
Not much to choose these days it’s either the Chinese or the globalist American empire.
British sacrifice enabled this comment.
@@biddyboy1570 I presume, i dont get it.
@@hismhs... and Hitler's. Thus enabling Dutch people to comment negativity on 19th century British politics in the 21st century..... in English.
If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when Napoleon went to Egypt and watch them come ashore, find the pyramids, burial sites and the Rosetta Stone. I think that would be amazing to go back and watch all that happen unfold. That would've been an amazing part of history to witness. As well as going back and seeing Ceasar and Caligula and their ships, empire, and just how the average person lived their day 2k years ago up until 300 years ago. It doesn't seem like much changed in that course of time, yet so much happened that it would be astonishing to see firsthand.
…but that desire is left only to God to witness.
Would you like to go back as "an average person" and experience war, death, and misery - the type of experience the average person went through during Bonaparte's rampage? History comprises real people. It's not an adventure book.
Great video, History Hit team!
Appreciate it!
He was Corsican nobility, not just some guy from Corsica
I like how these Brits are saying Napoleon brought back the patriarchy and women had a terrible time under the Napoleon’s Empire, but in fact, back in Great Britain they had the same or worse conditions. Napoleon’s view on state, civil rights etc. we’re of the time. His changes to the legal system and military however were revolutionary and were a big leap forward.
I was amazed to see they were unable to get any French historians for this clip. But then I realized, British historians are very, very, very unlikely to be biased in any way, so that's okay.
Maybe you 2 should get together and make the perfect documentary about Napoleon
wtf are you talking about?
What does any of that have to do with a movie?
God some people truly are thick as shit
Bonaparte was the Hitler of the 19th century. Both had delusions of conquering Europe, both failed to conquer Russia, and both said "I want only peace." Both megalomaniacs plunged Europe in a colossal bloodbath for personal ambition. Both plundered priceless art treasures from the countries they invaded. Both armies raped and killed civilians. And both were outfoxed by the British. As a footnote, there is a photograph of Hitler in 1940 at Bonaparte's tomb...
Also, both were dictators and have been described as sociopaths. Both saw themselves as victims. Neither one saved his people; they harboured nothing but contempt for their people. When their empires crumbled around them, they sacrificed the people for their own vanity.
Great doc
Napoleon is arguably the classic example of being in the right place and time.
Beign born a genius also helps , you’d be born in his time , u wouldn’t do shit compared to him
@@ernestoA.1999 a man of his ambition would do well in any era honestly
@@isaka6361 what makes him special is that he not only had ambition and confidence but he also had an incredible intellectual ability , he read hundred of books during his childhood and teen years, even as emperor he would read the same book 7 or 8 times , he had a photographic memory.
@@ernestoA.1999 knowledge truly is power
I don't think that "right place, right time" is entirely fair. He managed to use numerous situations to his advantage throughout his career
I've been to Ajaccio twice and been to his family home.
One of my favorite world leaders. So much so I wrote a 40 page book report on him in high school..
the french Empereur Napoleon is my favorite hitorical character, l'Empire is just an amazing period !
Joaquin Pheonix is a great actor but entirely unsuitied for the role. The director made him play a way too old version of the man when the whole point of Napoleon is that he had a meteoric rise to power in his 20's.
What about the hobbit from lord of the ring? The main one that always look sick like he gotta shit or something look like napoleon 😂
Agree 100% Napoleon was 26 years old when he married Josephine Phoenix is a very good actor but not for this role
The English hate Napoleon because he forced them to stay in England all year round. Victoria herself lived in France most of the year.
Well said..
as English kings have officialy claimed the throne of France for centuries. Until 1815-1840?
Cant remember the date when it was dropped.
@@igordupuy9213 After 1066 , Norman and Plantagenet Kings and Nobility ruled over England and Wales for over 300 years . They were from Normandy , Anjou and Aquitaine and they all spoke French - Which is why there are so many French nouns in the English Language - such as Parle is the root word for Parliament .
The first King of England to speak English as is considered to be Henry IV .
.
So its a common misconception they were English Kings . They were Norman and Plantagenet Kings who ruled over England .
.
the English don't hate Napoleon, the winners rarely even think about the losers
Should have mentioned the fact that Napoleon managed to divide his enemies, Piedmont Sardinia and Austria and beat them one after the other.
This thumbnail totally looks like Joachim Phoenix.
absolute lad
I wonder if this video is somehow inspired to exist by the anouncement of the movie "Napoleon" earlier this month, good to see anyway.
Well thumbnail says yes!
Obviously, it was. I can't wait to see the movie. Inspired by History, the full History, (I hope). Thank you. (Obrigada).
Would be interesting to see a French made documentary of Napoleon. These British talking heads seem a bit anti Napoleon. Anyways, always good to see another great man of Italian blood achieve such greatness 😊
Talking heads? You mean scholars that dedicate their life to scouring primary documents of the time. And they weren’t critical of him they literally said good things about him.
He was, indeed, Italian. No matter what anybody else says
Another Italian?? He was French no matter where he was born,and since Rome the Italians have largely just been conquered,brushed aside or as in the 2nd world war cowards
@@spuderdogegamer3886 yes he is technically French as he was born in Corsica, however, his parents originally came from mainland Italy. From memory, could of been Tuscany.
He was always regarded as "Corsican" but he loved France, which was one of the last words on his dying lips.
Great, great, great documentary. Thank you

Did you just re-post the same documentary, with a new thumbnail?
Timely thumbnail more like
That movie trailer pissed these guys off so much that they release a video within a week of it dropping.
The French Revolution is the main reason from Napoleon Rise to power. Without it he would be just an ordinary soldier as the higher military positions such as general,etc are only reserve for the noble. He was at the right moment at right time. He just strike the iron while it's hot.
lots of people were there who thought they could do it, only Napoleon did it. Just saying
he could rise to the rank of general, not common but possible.
No shit!
Did you work that one out all by yourself?
Not bad. I’d keep working on that English though.
what are you smoking? he was a noble
From 1796 to 2020, at least 95 major ships were named for him. In the 21st century, at least 18 Napoleon ships are operated under the flag of France, as well as Indonesia, Germany, Italy, Australia, Argentina, India, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
not sure why his French Navy was either at the bottom of the sea courtesy of the Royal Navy or being given as a 'prize' to the Royal Navy
You failed to mention the navy of Lichtenstein.
@@davidrenton courtesy maybe, it would be to op for the french to kick the british on land and on the sea
@@7macfly2 well seeing in the Napoleonic war they did neither.
The British destroyed the Frenchie's on Land and on Sea and if Air Balloon battles were a thing, I suspect in the Air as well
Napoleon ended his days a British Prisoner in the mid-Atlantic, while the British went on to rule the world.
I get it he bested the rest of Europe pretty much , but that counts for little, to us he was a garlic-eating naughty little French man, who needed his bottom smacked which the British Army and Royal Navy did many a time
@@davidrenton destroyed ? i wouldnt say that when you need to be saved by the prussians at 2 vs 1 lol
After 20 years of war, paying the entire Europe to fight one country, still thing they saved the world lol
i understand, Napoleon brought the civil code, equality of right, freedom of religion, ended serfdom in Europe and fought against the old monarchies etc....
Things that the british empire couldnt stand
It's an insult to the French people that the picture on this youtube video is of joaquin phoenix and not of Napoleon Bonaparte
Correct!
It also shows how stupid (on top of being illiterate -- see Napoleon first "consol" (sic) ) those running this channel are.
and to the Greek people. He was from the Maniot family of Stephanopoulos via Trabezont and Sparta. His first scholarly work was the military upbringing of young Maniots. His correspondence with his sister was in Greek. The letters exist to this day and have been studied.
What A Legend.
Thumbnail is slightly older Joaquin Phoenix
In Corsican hills where dreams took flight,
A boy named Napoleon, destiny in sight.
Born to a world of tumultuous change,
In the winds of revolution, a destiny arranged.
As a youth, he donned the military guise,
Brienne's halls echoed with his rising cries.
Italy's campaign, a canvas to paint,
Military brilliance, a rising saint.
The French Revolution, a tempest's call,
In the chaos, Napoleon stood tall.
Rising through the ranks with lightning speed,
His path to power, born of urgent need.
A coup d'état, a bold endeavor,
Toppling the Directory, forever.
First Consul he became, with plans profound,
To reshape a nation on history's battleground.
The Napoleonic Code, a legal decree,
A cornerstone of his legacy.
A ruler crowned, an emperor's claim,
Napoleon's rise, etching its name.
Empire expanded, borders stretched wide,
Through battles fierce, he rode the tide.
Austerlitz, Jena, victories bold,
In his wake, tales of glory told.
Yet shadows loomed, a gathering storm,
At Leipzig's gates, came Waterloo's mourn.
Exiled to an island, Saint Helena's shore,
The once-mighty Emperor, forevermore.
Napoleon, a tale of rise and fall,
In ambition's dance, he stood tall.
His legacy echoes, a complex lore,
In history's pages, forevermore.

Napoleon did NOT rescue one of his generals, who was Alexander Dumas's father. His father's imprisonment in southern Italy provided material for "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Also general Louverture, whom he let die in a cold damp cell without even a trial.
*It's not Napoleon in your thumbnail, it's an actor.*
*Couldn't you find a portrait of Napoleon?*
*Aren't there enough of those around?*
Thank god for napoleon. Every nation was against him when he didn’t want France to be a monarchy. Every bully nation attacked France including Britain, Prussia, Russia, Austria etc etc. No wonder he has the Highest Battles WON tally in all history way way more than Wellington. And by the time Wellington met him at Waterloo, Napoleon was already a sick man. Plus he had deal the second enemy at that battle..the Prussians. A sick unwell man fighting two armies is very courageous of him. His legacy lives on France.
How the free mans life could, and free humankind could have benefitted if only Napolean could have secured Waterloo, and in someway years earlier found a way through the English Channel. Hail to hell the British monarchy and the royal ignorance that still remains today. Free men will still yet stop the monarchs in the 21st. God spare us the King
Surely it's not a very big subject, but it was a interest to me to hear what Napoleon's reaction was to Beethoven scratching his name off of the title page of the Eroica symphony? It was a big deal in Beethoven's life but maybe it wasn't in Napoleon's?
Hegel and Goethe were still big fans of Napoleon, I guess losing Beethoven wasn't devastating to him :)

Waterloo....
OMG...the opening scene.
The Greatest French Generals....ALL in lock step. Mission: Tell Napoleon to abdicate.
They are strong. lock step. it goes on ..lock step...they approach Napolean's room.
All footsteps falter, the might Generals are reduced to school children in the presence of their Idol.
Once full of bravado they stammer to state facts and reduce themselves to begging their master to surrender.
The surrender scene is also a masterpiece...sh*t.
WATERLOO . IS a masterpiece.
the epic battles....the largest ever if I'm not mistaken.
what some 3,000 Calvery ?????????

Imagine this man followed Washington to have a term limit for all future French presidents.
Fantastic documentary, viva NAPOLEON!
He was born on an island and died on one - in captivity.
If anyone's interested in the Napoleonic contribution to the Art of War I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos
Napoleon's rise to greatness wasn't all that surprising. After all, he had the advantage of all the traditional dead wood that sits upon the top of society being removed and beheaded.
For Christmas this year, I’d like for this to happen
While he had control of a huge army.
But his daring at attention to every small details is extraordinary
@@markmanabilang8356 That was true enough of Napoleon himself, but hardly a fair description of the movie.
I wish these docs would go more in depth about the early years, maybe outline what kind of education or who mentored men like Bonaparte. Docs will all list various accomplishments like they speak for themselves, but won’t say anything about how these figures developed the skills, the knowledge base, that they needed to be so successful. Presented like this it’s as if these people spring out of the ground fully developed. But such individuals are developed as a combination of opportunities, relationships, and good information.
In the end, Napoleon’s ego brought his own downfall.
Like all of us.
As so is the end of many great men

there is very little to distinguish the current socio-economic system from the ancien régime.
The set of legal standards called The Code Napoleon is his real lasting legacy, more than his career as a General albeit his war campaigns and Marshall system of delegation are more interesting subjects.

Very clever of Napoleon to play both sides, so he always comes out on top.
Did he really win more than Subutai or Khalid ibn al-Walid? Thats a lot of battles.
It's not particularly the quantity of battles he won but the quality of opponents he faced and defeated, he has always odds stacked against him like 1v3,1v4 or 1v6 against multiple European superpowers of that time.

He was nuts
It makes me a proud Englishman that there are so many negative comments towards the British. There is just no pleasing some people. But we will continue to make the world a better place as always !
Nice to see the red white and blue on the cover must have been a breeze to wear in High winds
Bony was the man. My favorite person from history.
He's no Alexander nor Ceasar. An overated little narcissistic warmonger.
Yeah what a guy, a tyrannical narcissist who fraudulently claimed victories. A man who's over confidence saw him have to be saved several times by other's.
No doubt he laid the foundations for modern France but merely by accident, his goals were only ever about his own legend, as demonstrated several times in his career he cared little for those under him in reality, was just very good at selling lies and gathering loyalty.
His outlook on life, likely very similar to Trump. He gathers a feverish following on the back of lies and populism, followers who worship him but in reality, he couldn't care less about them. It's all about number 1.
His rise to absolute power and the endless, continuous war he brought on a whole continent, should be a warning from history. Not a character to be rederived but a mistake to be avoided in future.
He's my favourite captive.
I agree w/Robert Greene, the author who considered him the greatest of generals: But he did not know the lay of the land of Waterloo like Wellington who want to military school there 😮Wellington did and Napoleon was defeated big time…..he had similarities with Julius Caesar not in a defeat but the love of his army and strategy in war.
33 Strategies. Between them, an infinite array of possibilities.
Also people always under appreciate the role of the Prussians at Waterloo.
@@rhysnichols8608 Yes, Wellington on his own didn't defeat Napoleon, the allied armies, under Wellington and Blucher defeated Napoleon.
That and the myth that Napoleon was defeated in Russia because of winter is quite annoying.
How did he rise to power? Napoleon merely stood up. THE END. NEXT!!

If he abandoned his army in Egypt how do we know this? I assume someone there wrote about it and that was discovered as I assume all his army were slaughtered?
Phoenix is way too old for that role. Napoleon was already in his final exile when he was the age of Joaquin Phoenix. Napoleon's rise to power is made less stunning in being portrayed by a late middle aged man. He was only 25 when he became a general and 33 when he became first consul.

Yes he should have learnt from the King of Swedens invasion of Russia in 1709 King Charles XII at Poltava who was decimated by the Russian redoubts there
He won in Russia, he completed his war goals and left, the leaving part is what killed his army not the battles
@@54032Zepol Hello sorry to disagree Napoleon's war aims in Russia was to get the Tsar of Russia to the negotiating table for him to comply with Napoleon's European trade block against Britain after his campaign with Prussia at Tilsit. Tsar Alexander I broke that agreement by transporting wood to Britain that was the reason for the invasion so in truth his campaign totally failed. Taking Moscow did not bring the Tsar to negotiate. It was the same with his invasion of Portugal and Spain breaking the blockade with Britain.
@@54032Zepol The marching TO Moscow killed most of his army. Typhus and heat killed a fourth of the army before the battle of Borodino.

Can’t wait to see how Ridley Scott distorted and adapted historical facts into his usual Hollywood sauce. Image and special effects will be great for sure but it will be filled with historical inaccuracies like all of his historical movies!
Exactly. It is going to be an audio / visual spectacle that we do desperately need! But judging from the trailer it will be far from historically accurate. Truly what a film is. An entertainment and not an educational piece. Sad but such is the way. Should not be forgotten that Ridley is English. That may factor in the (lack of) historical accuracy of the movie.
Well Ridley Scott has my attention. I’ll give it a whirl if mostly for the imagery. I enjoy watching The Duelist. The first time I ever saw it it was a feast for my eyes.

Half of people say he was lucky, other half of people say he was smart.
However few or nobody pointed out that Napoleon was a huge risk-taker, especially when he told the directorate that everything was good in egypt. If they cared to check his declaration and found out the reality, Napo's career and maybe life would be over.

YEA I`m telling you it was the Italian Mom that did it.
😅 as psychologists I amaze me how historians change history due time. And it is for the better. Because then it pops out that as younger child and mammy has the pants on in the house. The most senior strategy of women is to bond with the children against the man. This position gives children almost the position of equal to the parents. So the children are tiptoeing against fear and bravery towards the love of the mother and turning against a father. And here in essence the macho is born. I am 60 and have seen about 4500 patients. Half of them women half of them men so a perfectly balanced practice and it gave me insight of women and men at first hand.
