Napoleon actually understood what kind of a person Paul was and played up to him. He gathered all the Russian prisoners of war in France, equipped them with fresh uniforms, and then sent them back to Paul without asking anything in return. Such a chivalric gesture appealed greatly to the Russian emperor, who soon withdrew from the anti-French coalition.
Napoleon is just that guy huh
Russia fully embraced Western ideals, it's unfortunate that Britain eas hostile to Russia during the Great Game, eaged the Crimean war against them, refused to partition the Ottoman Empire in the 1800s, then finally German Empire sent Lenin bsck to Russia to finish the job.
Russian Tourist have already invaded Goa(India).

Damn, if Peter III pulled the trigger and killed Prussia, it wouldn't come back to bite Russia in the ass twice 150-200 years later.
By that time, Brandenburg region (Berlin and its surroundings) is already prosperous and strong. IMO even if Prussian/Brandenburg state lost East Prussia and Silesia, sooner or later the rump state that control Brandenburg (i.e. Prussia or its successor state) will rise again as the dominant power in north Germany.

That is big list. I remember I use to support you during your travels across Asia and even ended up drawn into an episode
Another exceptional video, thanks!
Really enjoy your videos, always covering interesting and little known topics! As a side note, being a Maltese person, it is always nice to hear our little island getting a mention :)
Interestingly, the British Indian army went and invaded Bolshevik held Central Asia . It went successfully if you go by the kill ratio, but as with all allied interventions it was supremely confusing. This was the first time in history that an Indian force went into the heart of Central Asia and fought turks on their land and won !
What are you refering to ? Was it during the Russian Civil war of 1917-1921 ? Never heard of an anglo-soviet open conflict past this date.
Which war
I remember reading in Russian literature about Indian deserters in the service of the Red Army in those years. Such units were called international units.

The "Hague Invasion Act", does that count as an invasion plan?
Lol as if Russia didn't need more land.
They want land that isn't freezing. Which is why they don't want Alaska back.
@@Riftrender im 99% sure that Russia completely regrets selling Alaska.
Strategically it would be a perfect are for military bases and it has a lot of oil and gold
@@svenxavierniles9211 Well we know that now. At the time, colonies were for resources. Russia never lacked anything except for newer technologies that used tropical resources like rubber. They had all they needed and Alaska was mostly a base to expand to the pacific. But once the US and Britain expanded west, it was really useless. Oil wasn't a thing for industrialization at the time and in any case, they had Baku. They would have either had to really expand Alaska, spending more than it was worth to build it up or sell it.
You can never have too much land.
@@svenxavierniles9211 France was probably also regretting selling the vast Louisiana Territory for 342M, now worth 8.5B
The four Qing invasions of Burma in the late 18th century would make an interesting video.
Considering how expansionist the Qianlong Emperor had been, how far would they have expanded if they had not been checked? How would Indian Ocean access shaped 19th century history?
Would the Burmese Empire have expanded throughout all SE Asia without the drain and distraction of repeated invasions?
I really enjoy these videos! I really appreciate the work you put into them.
Thanks a lot
Wouldn’t Kalmyks be “of the Northern Caucuses” and not “of Central Asia”? I know they’re Oirat, but the group known as Kalmyks live just north of Dagestan.
Too far to the north to be the Northern Caucasus, but also too far to the west to be Central Asia... just call it the lower Volga.
Unless he used the term to mean the Western Mongolian (Oirat) tribes in general, which I believe some Russians and Europeans used to do back in the day.
Ethnic nomenclature in the Mongol-Turco-Persian slice of Eurasia can often be confusing. Cossack/Kazakh is just the most well-known of these mix-ups.
did you mean Kumyk? They are a different people and they are of Turkic origin.
bose : hitler visit india

King Knud of Denmarks plan to invade England in 1086. He had his levy fleet ready, but failed to set sail for months. So the peasants got pissed about waiting, so they hunted him through half the Realm before they killed in a church in Odense (he was sanctified soon after for the killed-in-a-church-thing).
His son Charles died in the same way, talk about bad luck as Charles' mother took him away from Denmark after Canute / Cnut's death only for him to suffer the same fate in Flanders decades later.
Love your background, the painting. If I am not mistaken, is that The Spoliarium by Filipino painter Juan Luna? 🇵🇭
The artstyle change caught me off guard, lmao.

I wanna know more about Catherine's plans to invade Persia ngl.
I remember skimming through a book in a book shop in Canberra that showed Napoleon and Josephine's obsession with everything Australian. Josephine was even the first person to breed Black Swans (native to Australia) in captivity. And that despite being almost completely focused on the wars in Europe Napoleon had designs on Australia. It even had a section detailing just how easy it would have been for the French garrison on New Caledonia to sail to Sydney and seize it given the poor state of the colony back then. I regret not buying that book considering how interesting it was.
How exactly they will defend Sydney or the whole Australia from British counter offensive though?
The British possess immense economic and militray power in India and the French were pretty much isolated in that region.
@Nathan Taffijn Lol. Don't be silly. Britain kick France's ass in the 7 years war (it was Prussia & Britain vs. France, Austria, and Russia in Europe and Britain vs. France in the Americas and India).
Even when Prussia, Britain's main ally in that war, was beaten, Britain still untouchable.
France need American rebels, Spain, and the Netherlands to beat Britain. Even then British isle and the rest of British colony was still pretty much intact/untouchable and British economy stay afloat when France (the winner) bankrupt itself. A situation which directly led to the French revolution.
@Nathan Taffijn France always had a better land army than Britain before and after Napoleon. Even the « weaklings » WW1 that ends up as the best army in the world in 1918 was better than Britain. But as long as you can’t surpass the british navy, I don’t see how you can invade the island. A problem that face the Nazis later on.
This reminded me of one time I saw a map of russo-french plan to divide Ottoman Empire (not the Sykes -picot), I wonder if anyone knows where I can find that map again
Russia capturing India?, that could be so important now and even in WWI and WWII. The logistics of this invasion resemble the larger than life ones of Barbarossa, no wonder it failed.
It didn't fail it was canncled...
I'm getting some armchair historian vibes......and I like it
We were this close to greatness.
At last you should also mention about 1975 -1977 dictatorship rule where Indira Gandhi took help of USSR to strengthen her position
The existence of a plan didn't mean that it was logistically possible so I think the British feeling paranoid was the greater part of 'The Great Game.'
Disagree. If it wasn't possible, the existence of such a plan shows the British clear intent. People don't plan for things they have no intention of doing and are impossible. Nobody has plans to invade the moon for example. The British finding this out , have every reason to act first and are risking a great deal to do nothing.
@@walsh9080 it was only really possible if the Russians were as strong as they thought they were and their enemies in between Russia and India (the afghans and persians) were as weak as they thought they were. Neither of these were true.
@@mappingshaman5280 But isn't that under the assumption the British knew that? To call it paranoia I mean. If it seems possible isn't that just acting first? I'm not saying the British government was right per se, only that they didn't cause it because they had good reason to act. Plus, I can see why "Do nothing" is very hard advice to accept, even if it might have been the best course of action.
@@mappingshaman5280 Plus isn't paranoia by definition baseless? Finding evidence that they've at least thought about it, probably stops something from being called paranoid?
Yeah if UK was afraid, then why Russia sold Alaska?
You’re in Turkey right now? That explains your usage of a VPN since Turkey’s mental about internet censorship.
7:40 where's sicily?
The Russian threat proved real in 1885 Panjdeh incident, Afghanistan, when Russia seized a NW area, which British were supposed to protect according to 1879 Treaty of Gandamak.
Interesting
@7:06 why no Sicily
I refuse to recognise the island for political reasons.... or im just bad at making maps in this new way.

Now Russia and India are friends. Huh.
Weird.
The invasion supposed to be against Britain not India. So even then they would be friends.
awww friends how cute
Well, countries aren't immortal single human beings, are they?
This happened long ago with one person
Actually soviet union was indias friend.
Russia is just going along.
Otherwise the Russian Empire was not really an ally to india.
And just like the video said the invading army would've carried out plunder of Indian cities as well just like any other invaders.
There could've been a huge chance if that happened then people of India would've been speaking russian.
So Suworow trained the Russians in Switzerland for the Himalayas...
The "Great Game",
I believe they called it... 🧐
So... that is how the Orloff diamond came into russia
Hmm nice
That would have gone great...

how similar was the Great game to the cold war?
The idea was the same, indirect fightings and supporting locals during civil wars. There were no ideological rivalery though, at least not as clearly as in the Cold War. Beside, the opposition was really local, while the Cold War was global.
the fracopersian alliance had the same plan
Anecdote : Napoleon heard of this plan and thought to go to India to join French troups there
At least some discussion between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander about those plans, happened at their diplomatic approach during and right after the Treaty of Tilsit where Napoleon tried to bring Russia to his Anti British embargo. The invasion against Russian happent in order to enforce Russia to participate in this embargo.
@@Peristerygr Exactly, it makes a wider sense
as exiting this sound i think it would highly unlikely
maratha has leadership issue so they never united their strenth against british and defeated
But northern india dominated but Punjabis
they has great leader
armies are battle harden by countless wars with afghans and some maratha
they even Fought with qing empire.
they has vast gorrilla warfare experience as they Estabilished by that
with that they have support of british.
also their army is by no mean outclassed they also has canon and muskets.
Russo-French alliance if not completely defeated but at least get amount of losses and gorilla attacks which could made them retreat anyway

There must have been similar plans at least regarding Khiva in 1830, however Russian-Polish war of 1831 stopped that. Cossack regiments has been sent to central Asia just to be recalled few months later to fight Poles instead.
This would have been amazing to see. What if the French and/or Russians had as one of their pretenses the restoration of the Mughals?

Genetically, Ukrainians, Russians, Belrus are similar (hybrids of slavs and vikings), but culturally, Ukrainians are independent like cossacks, and resisted islamic conquest/ conversion for hundreds of years. And, Russians submitted to conquest by mongols and have mongol cheek genes. Ukrainians, unlike chechens and circassians, did not convert to islam to escape domination by russia. Russia hired ukrainians, cossacks, to colonize south ( iran, india) and east lands. Stalin genocided millions of Ukrainians in HOLODOMOR GOLODOMOR, and then migrated ethnic russians into the vacant homes and villages of starveddeadukrainians, which is the genesis of the disloyal russianspeakers in Donbas. Ukrainians are distinct from Russians, and are entitled to remain independent of Russia.

It’s all games for some people. Peoples lives and sovreignty were lost. No one cares about vodka curry

@@eugenlitwin5887 Rus was the name of ancient Russian state created by Rurik in city of Novgorod, Russia. Ukraine was created by bolsheviks in 1917.

but you need to get to there first
Ask that to alexender, huns and arabs and later mangols. You just only read losses in indian history. India was always invaded by central Asian tribes and times when central powers become weak only then indian lands were conquered same as persia.
The people who attacked us when attacked Europe you guys wiped out in first wave only. What happen when huns attacked you, umayyed dynasty attacked you and when turks attacked you. You were defeated. Ummayyad dynasty in Asia was stopped by India and at that time arabs were superpower.
Yeah last some centuries were bad for us before that we were never disrespected or called weak, but we are working on it, we will definitely get our past glory back.
barbaric Asiatic Moscow has always been our enemy, and now we have bring it back to 1991 and not save it in empire format
The west is more barbaric. Since they destabilise countries and kill innocent civilians. Which is their tradition
