He could've won if he was in his prime. Not saying he would, just saying theirs a chance. However as he got older he wasn't as sharp.

The thing that makes napoleon such a baller is that the seventh coalition didn't declare war on France but it declared war on napoleon himself
@@zfkingwilliam1918 wow
Napoleon seems to have a history of leaving troops behind, knowingly or not.
Sacre blut
And England seems to have a history for retreat and run away.. 😁
You have never seen the English military history.
Woah woah woah guys relax Jesus I said nothing disrespectful at all and what you both said did not argue my point. Number 1) I mentioned Napoleon himself, not the French country. You both mentioned England as a country, not someone specific. And as a matter of fact I can do your job for you, Arthur Wellesley. The famous commander who famously led to the coalition against Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, the same general who constantly retreated from Napoleon during his campaign in Spain. But guys retreat is perfectly okay as long as it leads to a victory, which in Spain it did. But even still, if you both even brought that up it wouldn't matter because Arthur did not leave his troops during his campaign. For point 2) guys I didn't even mention retreat at all, I said and I quote "......have a history of leaving troops behind" which Napoleon does. Egypt, Russia all the places where he did, in Russia he did it twice! No next time before you talk gentleman please bring some facts with your bag of meaningless statements. Checkmate.
@@Don_Kedich
Troops on Egypt were when he left agreed to be repatriated u der treaty with the UK.
The British reneged on this treaty.
They eventually did withdraw the troops.
Napoleon left his troops in the campible hands of Murat after Russia in 1812.
"I used to say of him (Napoleon) that his presence on the field made the difference of forty thousand men."
-Arthur Wellesley, British General and Duke of Wellington
It's like strategy games or DND :
If general is less than 100m away, then troops gain +10 moral +25 strenght and + 5 defense.
@@kawoizaki In real life, due to Napolean, troops gained +85 moral, +100 strength and +95 defence
Unlike Hitler, Napoleon actually occupied Moscow, for awhile
But Burned to the Ground
I Occupied Caucasus for a months.
Hitler, did you really fake your suicide and fled to Surabaya City?
Charles 12, Napoleon and Hitler all faced the same faith
he didn't occupy Moscow if there's no Moscow
Very simple and clear explanation of the most complicated war Europe ever knew without forgetting any important details or sinking in any complications
This 3 episodes are fantastic and you deserve a big appreciation for your effort
This was the best series on Napoleon I ever watched
Wow. Poor guy i know one better. Go check out Epic history it resume every Napoleon 's battle step by step his moove resuming a 10 minutes video just over one single battle. It talks about other topics like Alexander the great history of lot of stuffs

@@gutsjoestar7450 Did u see the “ever” word?
@KLK B it's not just a batyle it's the war in general
@KLK B nah hes right tho, it's the best history videos ever, on the whole internet
he didn't occupy Moscow if there's no Moscow
He did, they burnt it when he was inside
vous voulez dire: mon dieu !!
Lol that just seems like a lame excuse. He fucked it. If it is not for the weather, it had been gone
It’s Big Brain Time
how does that make any sense? if you occupy the land known as moscow, then you have occupied it. now THAT makes perfect sense.
Napoleon could actually control all Europe without invading Russia, and there was no point to occupy Spain. Spain was a traditional ally of France. Spending most of the resources for Russia and Spain made Napoleon's army weakened and exhausted
. So without those two mistakes he could be the great winner of everything.
His lineage still exists
Both Spain and Russia were not enforcing the continental blockade against the uk.
It's easy to say that he shouldn't have invaded Russia in hindsight, but it's far more complicated.
They should have invaded UK 🇬🇧
@@pagaun he shouldn't have made an economical blockade in the first place!
Today pupils argued he was a real go-getter. Interesting how this person still inspires people.
Such a shame we don’t learn about this in schools in the US, it isn’t really our history but now I’m stuck to YT videos to learn about these wars
The fact that it took so long to beat Napoleon and France shows how powerful they were
Na the UK was stronger its just they didn't make many offensives, loads of coalition members were pretty incompetent, and napoleon is a madlad
@@toddhoward7649
"Na the UK was stronger its just they didn't make many offensives"
---> What a bullshit. They didn't make offensives because they were not strong... You claim coalition members were incompetent, but they did the job even if it was hard, unlike Britain that just sat on their island only providing money.
You claim they were strong and could beat the French army but didn't do it because they just didn't want... what a clown you are. It's not that they didn't want, they just could not.
Nope, just one man Napoleon.
@@secrectpirate3096 France was the most populated country of Europe, had a lot of competent (even genius) officers and generals because of the system of the Revolution wich was based on talent and not anymore on blood. French citizens were fighting for a system, their right and the new concept of "Nation". Napoléon was indeed important, but he was just the right man, at the right time for this.
@Todd Howard on land the french were way stronger than britain but on the sea it was a different story
France took over most of Europe.
This enraged Britain, who punished him severely.
Aurora The Wyvern dude uncool
Lmao I see the meme squad is already here!
*the french angered the dutch in 1812 the dutch punished them hard*
L'Aigle you clearly dont understand the background of the comment
waiting for him to upload aaah
2:30 “So, have we defeated Russia?”
Napoleon: “Well yes, but actually no.”
Napoleon forgot that Moscow was no capital of Russia at this time.
From a British perspective you realise how important those 22 miles of sea between Dover and Calais are. Saved us in WW2 no doubt and throughout history.
just have a good navy and troll everyone.
i would even go to say that what pushed him over the edge because he wanted to force everyone not to work with British anymore which lead to him losing Spain and even russia later.
Wouldn’t say it was just the sea. We had the greatest navy at the time which destroyed Napoleons. You set up to your strengths. It makes sense Britain focusing on the navy since it’s surrounded by water. Napoleon focused his efforts on building armies. 600k troops when he invaded Russia for example.
Some men live a simple life while others have a fire that threatens to engulf the world.
Technically it was the rest of Europe (encouraged by Britain and its divide and conquer policy regarding Continental Europe - I can't remember the exact name of this doctrine) that seeked war continuously against France, Napoleon just took the opportunity. :D

probably for a southern state
@@jabber1990 nah he said that he would devote his life to science if he moved to the US. Politics was over for him, so he decided to live peacefully in the US
There’s a Lucky Luke comic on that subject.
he would be the new emperor of United states😅 and during Napoleonic wars Napoleon was enough friendly with America he sold the Louisana for only 15 millions dollars. ($300,000,000 current U.S dollars) .. Joking I hope no.don't need him. No I'm joking Napoléon is god. I want him to come back
wow, imagine the united states in france
Napoleon's story is a great example of not losing hope. Stay as a leader against all odds.
Answer setback with a comeback. 👍
Yes, but his ambitions also cost many life's. It is one thing to fight for your country and try to strengthen it and another to try and conquer whole Europe. Seeing all those videos about great man and conquering only led to greater wars and the ultimate realization of some that peace and unification maybe the better long lasting way .
@@Jaybiooh Napoleon never wanted to conquer europe lmao, it was UK and Allies that started those wars, if it wasn't for them, Napoleon would've ruled at peace
He literally left the battle of Waterloo early, gave command to a guy who accidentally sent the entire calvary to death by near point blank artillary fire.
Aggressive expansion is just a number they said...
Dude, I really love this kinda beat music for background for such historic moments :)
this is a rly good story line thanks for this great vid!
Outstanding lecture ❤
5:10 He should have accepted the proposals. With such borders France would have been secure enough. Empire is worthless compared to security. He gambled and lost everything.
He had not guarantees it would stop wars. You cannot give back all these territories just like that.
Jacques You can’t forget, unlike the armchair historians, Napoleon didn’t have hindsight and had already been taking gambles his whole life.
only Austria would have been at peace with France then. Everyone else had nothing to do with this Austrian proposal, and would still have fought France.
@@benshapiromemesarefunny8725 Yes refusing such conditions was part of his personality, but Napoleon was not alone, the men running the Empire obviously saw France's defeat coming. The video actually makes a mistake, the Frankfurt proposals are a bit after Leipzig.
@@abadyr_ The frankfurt proposals were actually made right after Leipzig, and did not only involve the Austrians, but apparently the allies as a whole.
Fascinating and very well done. Wish they had something like this when I was in school!
Wow. I was finally able to visualise napoleon wars in detail and cronologically
Napoleon comes back in 1815
Every Europe:Ah shit, here we go again...
Expect Poland
Napoleon came back in 1939 but just in a different country
It's amazing that even after 6 coalitions and during the last one getting crushed, Napoleon still fought against another coalition
What a fascinating story, thank you so much !
Good job men this was a good series!!!
Dude your channel got hacked, wish you the best in getting it back man.
Napoleon could have turned the tide around after Russia at Leipzig. Napoleon had the chance to capture Tsar Alexander and King Frederick Wilhelm III ending the war. A French Cavalry division spotted a group of enemy outriders who they decided not to pursue. This group consisted of the Tsar and the Prussian King and some of their generals. If a few changes occur, Napoleon could have captured them turning the tables again in favor of a Pyrhhic Victory to an Austerliz like Victory.
Yes! Keep up the good work!
French: I can't believe they're retreating, we'll finally have some resources!

Why did Napoleon go to conquer Moscow if the capital was St. Petersburg?
Moscow had been the symbolic capital of Russia since the Medieval ages
Hey there was no st. Petersburg in middle ages it was Petrograd
@@rocekth
Napoleon wanted to pressure the Tsar into peace and concession.
He did not want to rion the Tsar for fear of preventing his agreement to Napoleons terms.
That's why he neither freed the slaves nor occupied the Tsars true capital, to avoid unnecessary provocation.
@Master Robotnik
Why the Caps?
Battle Way, St. Petersburg was Petrograd only in the 1914-1924 years
1800s be like
*battle happens*
the defeated nation: well its time to sign peace
that was pre industrial revolution,you dont have factories making fireguns,you dont just raise more soldiers,it takes forever to make all that stuff,thats why the industrial revolution was such a big thing.
... and one hundred years later, Napoleon would get a German fan so devoted that he would even recreate Napoleon’s spectacular failure in Russia.
I am a simple man. I see a Geo History video, I click, I watch.
Lesson: If you have an Empire dont ever try to invade Russia!
the mongols think otherwise
unless you invade from east
at least not while you are bleeding men from Spain and the British are harassing you
The central powers think otherwise
@@jakesweet1000
And they too were driven out by the Russians. The Russians skewered the Mongols.
very excellent series
Napolean Series is very good ....
Thanks for this videos...
Napoleon's war strategy was quite similar to Hitler's. And their failures were nearly identical too. Both of them firmly controlled mainland Europe, but failed to gain naval superiority, and also didn't make sufficient efforts to cut their enemies off from their overseas colonies. They both became impatient and betrayed and invaded Russia prematurely, which got them into multi-front wars, which ended up leading to a rapid downfall.
Napoleon took over pretty much all of Europe, but never kicked Britain out of India, nor did they prevent Britain from using the Suez Canal. Hitler similarly took Europe AND North Africa, but never expelled the British from the Mediterranean Sea, which was their artery to the Middle East and India. Hitler and Napoleon would almost certainly have ruled the world had they not been impatient. Both made the mistake of only focusing on Europe, and not control of the seas or foreign colonies. They grew greedy and addicted to conquering massive amounts of land, and couldn't stand the thought of slowing down, even temporarily, to refocus on more important strategies.
lol, napoleon and hitler were entirely different. napoleon was conquering for humanitary ideals. hitler was fighting for eugenic ideals.
napoleon didn't want to wage war, he was forced to fight war because of the european monarchies afraid of the democracy arising fron france.
you view of history is very dreamlike and fantasy tale. real life is a lot different.
The Seventh Coalition: When you’re about to beat 1 guy in a fight but then his teammates arrive, team up on you, and you lose.
This video make no sense because Napoleon didn't fought one country per coalition. Napoleon was the most badass guy in history... And France was the most badass country in history on earth during the revolutionary wars. They were in trouble with the revolution and with the pro royalists but had the balls to declare war on everyone . Then they continued winning until Napoleon became crazy and lost his genius
1-20-22. This entire series was excellent.
Awesome videos on Napoleon! Would you consider making a similar series for Simon Bolivar?

Wouldn’t say Britain were weak they beet everyone
Small yes
britain was richer and more advanced country with similar population. france military was only so large because made up of foreigners and teenage conscripts
@@Lewis-zq5wsthey won seven years’ war by the population advantage in North America, Mughal’s decline in India and Russia’s crazy Czar in Europe.
Due to these wins British were able to impose their fleet as dominant in the oceans, a partially anti-British coalition was formed in US’ independence war and probably others would have formed after, but Napoleonic wars spread fear of continental armies throughout Europe and Britain used that to make sure that other powers send their men to die to stop a European continental hegemony, so they by supporting the anti-rival force maintained supremacy.
It was smart.
But then for partially no reason they decided to sing the triple entente, making the German military paranoia a political possibility for Berlin, which waged war as fast as it could to not fight the Triple Entente at full force, causing WWI and making Britain in debt with US to maintain the Empire created in the previous centuries.
This was the beginning of the end of British dominance, in fact they were forced to accept a naval limitation treaty from USA, after other British errors (mainly due to excessive anti-communism) made them not stopping Hitler before 1939 the II WW broke out and British Empire was destroyed.
It wasn’t smart
There are some small inaccuracies in the video.
The first German countries quit the Confederation of the Rhine before the Battle of Leipzig on 16 to 19 October 1813.
In March 1813 Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz (located in the north east) quit the Confederation of the Rhine.
More importantly the Kingdom of Bavaria (the largest member of the Confederation of the Rhine) joined the allies with the treaty of Ried (signed between Bavaria and Austria) on October the 8th 1813 prior to the battle.
Austria guaranteed the Bavarian sovereignty and that in future negotiations it would receive adequate compensation for territories which would be returned to Austria.
Bavaria agreed in the treaty to leave the Confederation of the Rhine and declare war on France with the obligation to provide an army of at least 36.000 soldiers for the fight against Napoleon.
P.S. During the battle about 4.000 Saxon soldiers and circa 500 cavalry from Württemberg defected from Napoleon to the allies. The commanders of those units did it without orders from their monarchs.
