How Napoleon Lost at Waterloo
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 07. 2024
- When Napoleon Bonaparte returned to France in 1815, he brought with him a Hundred Days campaign to recapture his power and glory. Napoleon emerged from the French Revolution as a military hero and, during the last decade of the 18th century, seized control of the French government. He consolidated his authority in France while embarking on military campaigns throughout Europe, establishing himself as consul for life in 1802 and emperor two years later.
By 1812, Napoleon fought against nearly every European country, attempting to take over lands from Britain to Russia. A series of losses, including a failed campaign into Russia, led to his downfall and, when a coalition of Austrian, Prussian, Russian, and Swedish troops marched into Paris in 1814, Napoleon was forced to abdicate. As a condition of the Treaty of Fontainebleau, he went into exile on the Isle of Elba in the Mediterranean. He retreated to the small parcel of land, only to return to Europe in early 1815.
Napoleon took power again and began his Hundred Days campaign. As British, Austrian, Russian, and Austrian forces once again came together to stop him, he gathered forces to rebuild his empire. His final campaigns, fought in Belgium, culminated in his defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815.

Napoleon was not short for his time. The myth must have started to mock him. He was 5’7”, average height for his time.
He's taller than me. That much I am certain.
Napoleon was frequently near his guards which were taller than him
He was dickey smally
Its funny the british started this propaganda calling him a corsican ogre and short.
While one of their heroes vice admiral lord nelson is 5'4 feet in height compared to napoleon who is above average at that time being 5'7.
Makes you agree with one of his famous quotes
"History is a set of lies agreed upon"
I have it on good faith from an expert eye-witness account that Napoleon was short.. this eye-witness statement described Napoleon as the "short dead dude from our history review."

Bingo
Should of mentioned his last words. “Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.”
Bruissays *should have
Those weren't his last words though. His last words were most likely something like, "A la tête de l’Armée" (at the head of the Army), "France..." or maybe "Josephine..." It's debated. Different witnesses gave different accounts. shannonselin.com/2015/05/napoleons-last-words/

"Armée, France, Joséphine"
"Death is but a door; time a window, I shall return!" Then his head died... 🙂

It's almost funny how comically far away Saint Helena is to France compared to his first island exile in Elba. It's as if the coalition is trying to make sure he'll never have a chance of coming back to France ever again.
That’s exactly why he was put there, the British also had a constant naval blockade there to make it near enough impossible.
He did escape Elba, so it made sense. St Helena is so far away that they got an airport only recently.
@@rustomkanishka Too bad the airport is just built. It would have been something if Napoleon returned yet again and this time in an airplane.
Admiral Thomas Cochrane had planned to rescue him but napoleon died before he could do it.
"Strike while the iron is hot"...indecision is a killer...
I prefer to allow my enemies to live a happy, and fulfilled life; before snatching it away from them suddenly.
So true. Battle after battle after battle the side that hesitates almost always has victory snatched by the jaws of defeat.
Even if Napoleon had won, he still would have had to face a united Russo-Austrian army that he could potentially defeat, and the fact the Congress of Vienna had declared him an outlaw.
Yes exactly. By 1815 he was finished.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 maybe and maybe not. Your failing to take into account what happened to defeated nations in the Napoleonic era. Prussia and England or at the very least Prussia would have been forced to make peace terms. War reparations would have helped Napoleon solve many problems, one of the biggest reasons Napoleon lost his last two campaigns was due to a lack of horses for his calvary. Again victory would have also solved this problem. Another problem for Napoleon was man power. We know that Napoleon was planning to demand Prussia at the very least provide military men and support to France in any peace treaty. And let's not forget the fear Napoleon Inspired in his enemies. Do you honestly believe that it isn't possible that both Russia and Austria would react to Napoleon beating the British and Prussia by simply withdrawing from a campaign they were no longer sure they could win as they had so many times before? I could go on and on. When studying Napoleon I have learned the very same lesson that all of Europe and beyond learned. Never count Napoleon out or underestimate the man. And in this case a victorious Napoleon would have been a dangerous Napoleon. The allies counted him out and were convinced that he was finished many times before. It almost never ended well for them
@@landonlacy1954 but by 1815 (in fact before then) the major European powers had agreed that they wouldn’t tolerate Napoleon. The Russians and Austrians had mobilised nearly 500,000 men, the Royal Navy would have blockaded French ports, Britain and Prussia would have raised new armies. It was over for Napoleon. One man and one country couldn’t take on a beat the combined strength of the world superpower in Britain, plus Prussia, Austria and Russia. By 1815 Napoleon was in poor health as well and not the man he was in 1805.
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 again you are forgetting to take into consideration the history of the era. Russia also agreed to help fight Napoleon before the battle of Austerlitz. But after Napoleon won they no longer felt like living up to that agreement. This happened with literally almost every major power of the many coalitions formed against Napoleon during his reign, also you are forgetting to consider the possible benefits to Russia and Austria both if they decided to go back on that agreement or even if they decided to support Napoleon if he had won. We know that the czar was already regretting his decision to remove France from the balance of power in Europe. Britain who the Czar was no fan of. Benefited from the new balance of power the most and was already throwing it's weight around. Hell many historians believe that if Napoleon's timing had been better the coalition who were at each other's throats by the time of Napoleon's return. May have broken apart if Napoleon had waited a little longer instead of returning so soon and giving them a reason to stay United. When you consider the possible benefits to the rest of Europe and the history of the allies fearing Napoleon. A man who they thought had been put into an unwinnable situations many times over. Yet still somehow won. It is easy to see how a victory would have given Napoleon the political breathing room and military situation and resources he would have needed to bounce right back just like he did many times before. This is a man who made a career of winning in unwinnable situations.
I'm not going to bore you with making this reply much longer. But as to your point of Prussia and England simply raising new armies. I have to strongly disagree. Prussia was in horrible shape from constant warfare and many in Prussia we're against the continued fight against a man they had been beaten by many times before. And we know Napoleon was planning on going to Prussia and occupying what he could if his terms were not met. I think the likelihood of a fresh new army capable of defeating the french is doubtful. Especially when we consider how long that would take during the time period and when we look at how far away allied Russian troops or Austrian troops were and the time it would take for them to actually get into a position close enough to matter and help Prussia. It only increases Napoleon's chances of a favorable outcome.
England certainly would have raised a new army. But considering the fact that Britain was far away and was forced to pay other nations to fight their wars Due to several factors which include low man power, and global position. I doubt the thought of a new British force being put together would be enough to convince anyone that staying course of war with France was worth it.
It is very possible that you are correct In the belief that Napoleon was finished regardless of weather he won the battle of Waterloo or not. But there are so many other factors that many are failing to consider when looking at the situation. Such as the fear Russia and Austria had about a new balance of power that didn't benefit them, the possible advantages of supporting a victorious Napoleon, how Europe would react to the news of a victory by a man they feared for years and thought was unbeatable, the possible resources that a victory would have been made available to Napoleon, the already fracturing allies, and the regained confidence of a man who conquered Europe despite the odds almost always being against him, and on and on and on. When these factors are considered the fate of Napoleon and his future are far from certain
Sorry that was so long but I appreciate the discussion and get carried away at times
The Duke of Wellington:
Lord Beef himself.
A couple extra reasons not mentioned in the video. The duke of Wellington had had years to study Napoleon’s moves making him better able to anticipate and react to Napoleon’s moves.
And Napoleon was in a rush to defeat enemy armies before they united. A lot of his battles were won through defeat in detail, whereby he would spread his army, causing the enemy to do the same. Then he would consolidate his forces and crush isolated enemy forces. Through that tactic, he could bring a smaller army, yet outnumber the enemy in each battle.
He was in too much of a rush to be able to pull of his regular brilliant moves.
Winner or loser, he was a genius General
Yup 👍
Loser with all that he did for us.
Legendary
absolutely true ... against all odds( even his own generals/marshals & Waterloo) !!!
The paintings of battles from that era are so elaborate and detailed. Amazing works of art
According to the Empreur himself "if Berthier had been there I would not met this misfortune". Louis Berthier was Napoleon's chief of staff and s genius at military logistics. On campaigns the two always travelled together. Berthier, however, was unfortunately assassinated some weeks before the battle
Marshal Soult who replaced him was not up to the mark.
lol u make it sound like Napoleon actually declared all those wars when he only ever declared war on Spain and Russia, all the coalition wars were declared against him, not the other way around.
It’s called weird history for a reason
You should finish Highschool.
Being forced to fight and wanting to fight are not the same thing.
He had options to give land men and things of value.
He chose to fight.
His own words called for war.
On-top of him building tensions before hand.
You can't blame someone for punching you after you poke them for months.
Yellow exactly the history taught in the English speaking countries is lazy and draws a lot from previous English language accounts. Thankfully that mindset is changing. ‘The little corporal’ a is typical slur. Napoleon Is a giant in European history. An absolutely fascinating life. The Revolution enabled a guy from a French recently new province, through merit not through class, rise to the top. This very idea was the reason the monarchy’s of Europe marched against France. Meritocracy over so called Birthright. Europe declared war on France not the other way round.
Well Russia wasn’t Russia it was Prussia so idk about this one
@@germanicus74 Nope. The European powers tried to be opportunists and after defeats wanted to stop the rise of an empire over themselves. That's where the British enter, to keep the balance. It's a romanticized idea what you said but far from the truth
Ah, always a good morning when I get a new weird history vid. Fav channel on CZcams

Did you manage to escape or are you still there?

You wana see my brisket there son?
Wellington: Napoleon alone worth 10k soldier...
Is this why Generals in Those days always running away from Napo??
Wellington actually said that Napoleon was worth 40.000 men..
Actually in the 1814 campaign, Napoleon was making retreat the army of bohemia and the army of silesia, he alone with his young conscripts and part of his old guard. That give you an idea of his military genius.
It’s 40,000, not 10,000...
He wasn't a 'little Dictator'. At 5'8" he was average height for the time (before vitamins etc in food). British propoganda at the time created this myth. It would useful that for an historian should know this, so as not to perpetuate this out-of-date stereotype.
For French armies reluctance to fight on muddy ground, see: Agincourt.
Yea, my high school history teacher told us this back in 2008. I expect it to be a common fact by now but in 2020 I guess there are still people who actually believes British's propoganda and their hate boner for France.
bullshitt/he wasn't 5-8 on his best day..they said same thing bout hitler..tall for his time period..really? then all the pic. of him surrounded by his generals/all those guys must be considered GIANTS for their generation.. both these leaders wer just little guys..keep it real...
Sir Loin wait another dictator was actually short
@@tomortale2333 Napoleon was usually surrounded by his guards which were taller than him
@@Pure_Havoc Same! I learnt that in HS too and I'm surprised people still mention this non-factual statement.
Very fascinating and intriguing! 👍🏻👍🏻
A+ video!
Great to hear about what was happening on the battlelines, excellent narration and excellent voice acting! Maybe Pixar will need this type of voice acting some day...
When a history video starts by calling Napoleon "the little dictator", I'm immediately doubtful as to how unbiased it's going to be.
I am not a dicator
Well little he was not but he was a military dictator.
@@markgrehan3726 Eh, technically you're right. But compared to those of the 20th century, he wasn't much of a dictator. He was constrained in what he could do by law. The Napoleonic Code he wrote himself, granted, but still. He couldn't just purge anyone that opposed him. And he was far better than the fat king or the Directory. The people loved him for it.
@@TLOK1918 Napoleon wasn't really that constrained he did what he wanted when he wanted even before becoming Emperor and he keeps Fouche as head of the Police. He didn't write the Naponic code he got it going and chaired some meetings so was heavily involved but still...But yes he was a lot better than the King and the Directory he understood how to make things happen and to get things done through his intelligence and his force of will.
@@markgrehan3726 He also did control the newspapers to a great extent, didn't he? Like I said, you're technically correct, my friend. But "military dictator" has much darker connotations since the 20th century, I just wanted to clarify.
The voice effort on the quote. Give this narrator a bonus for this xmas
Well... this channel is reading my mind.
One of the main reason was he was old the gas was running low. He would have won in his younger days.
But even if he did win the battle there's no way he could have won the war
But he wouldve had the position of strength to at least have power to demand peace to at least buy time to reform his army
Spot on . It’s true .
Americans: *toilet*
British people: **WATERLOO**
Very true, I always laughed at my American friends and family who visited me in England without telling them what loo was when we were out on the town. I am duel Citizen living in both Countries since birth , 60% of my family are British & 40% Americans. To say the least, it is always fun times in the difference of words but the same goes with the British. Have the British coming to America asking for a chemist in many big cities and you would be possibly pointed to a street drug dealer, don't ask a American police officer. Ask a American about a surgery, they will ask you what is wrong with you for the need go under the knife.
Americans: Bathroom
English: Toilet
I would rather not wash in my toilet ;)
@@murder13love .... lmfao 😂🤣
Nappie the papie
Went to the loo
It rained and went wet
Slush and flush
Through the mud,poor dude
The Brits knew what to doo
And it became Waterlooo.
Napoleon was quite famously defeated politically, not militarily, on account of his habit of nervously shitting his pants every time he met anybody even remotely famous.
It's no coincidence that Napoleon had scored Maculay Culkin as a guest for his podcast the very day he was defeated at Waterloo.
All said & done. Napoleon by far one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Generals to have ever lived. It's weird to hear people still call him the little dictator even though he was average height. A writer spent his career calling him 'little' because of his own distaste for him. Either way such a fascinating historical figure.
*ABBA* would’ve won it.
Random fact: Napoleon's first language wasn't French but Corsican.
By this time he solely spoke french and lost his corsican accent
France have many languages, Murat first language is occitan, Ney Alsacian...

Napoleon wasn't small. He was like 1.75 meters tall. Average height for people nowadays
Can someone convert that I'm lazy.
1.68 m
He did however have a very small penis, measured at a modest one-and-a-half inches.
@@scottmurly-cleves8039 Pure projection on your part! lol
Thats 5'8" are you kidding, contemporary reports of the time say he was 5'2" and 5'5" with his boots on.

While there were many questionable decisions that led to Napoleon defeat at Waterloo. His decision to rely on Marshall Ney was crucial. Ney wasn't the young confident leader he had been years before. He had simply been asked to go to the well of courage one time too many.

As someone who's from St Helena island myself his house where he lived and died is still there plus the grave where he was buried but one of his marshals came to St Helena took his body back to France where he was buried again.
What is life like on St. Helena? It amazes me how people actually live there
@@nomadkxm3240 quite nice especially in the summer we practically know everyone because how small the island is.
Here's a bit of weird history for you: Nappy was Corsican, not French. Though France owned Corsica at the time, they'd gotten it from the Italians. In Corsica they didn't speak French. They spoke Italian. Nappy's first language was Italian, not French, therefore, his accent wouldn't have been comically broad French, but Italian. Make use of this as you will.
So, in short .... the 'French' dictator was .... Italian .... (minor nobility) .... and mostly surrounded by tall men .... and women!!
Napoleon was not soundly defeated by Wellington's smaller force. He was beating Wellington when Blucher's troops arrived. Blucher and Wellington together had many more soldiers than Napoleon.
too true ... we could label this as rubbish ... unfortunate attempt
correctly pu!
Napoleon was a superior general compared to Wellington
The British mostly relied on auxiliary forces since their land army was never a large force. Most of his army were Belgians and various other German troops that were recruited from the federation of the Rhine after it was dissolved
Please do a video on Alexander the great and his battle with king Puru
battle of Agincourt please!
Can you make a video about Ulysses S Grant?
Great channel!!! Have you done William Shakespeare?
To clarify some aspects:
Wellington’s army consisted only partially out of British troops (circa 25.000).
The bulk of his army was „German“ (26.000 troops from Hanover, Brunswick, Nassau and the King‘s German Legion) and the Netherlands/Belgium (17.000).
The 33.000 troops of Grouchy were fighting at Wavre against one corps of the Prussians (17.000) on the day of the Battle of Waterloo.
Also on the day of the Battle of Ligny parts of Napoleon’s army were fighting at the Battle of Quatre Bras against troops of Wellington to prevent them from joining the Prussians at Ligny.
Apart from the countries mentioned in the video Napoleon was also at war with a whole bunch of other countries, for example „Germany“ back then consisted out of a large number of countries and they were also at war with Napoleon.
As mentioned above Wellington‘s Army included quite a lot of German troops.
Other smaller German (from the north) states formed the German Corps (25.000 soldiers) which was part of Blücher‘s army of the Lower Rhine but not present at the Battle of Waterloo.
The southern German states like Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hesse etc. joined the troops of the Austrians and together with them they formed the Army of the Upper Rhine, which was the largest army of the coalition.
The french have never won any war Including them selves
When the battle of Waterloo was going on Grouchy was not fighting at Wavre. He was eating grapes in some area with vegetation. His assistant kept imploring him to reinforce Napoleon in Waterloo as the back smoke was very visible from where he was at, but Grouchy kept saying that he was looking for Blucher.
Grouchy should have used his genius by dropping all matters and joining Napoleon to hopefully make a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another point that is being missed is the matter beyond militarism.
Napoleon s military genius can only go so far as the forces of nationalism at work in Europe were a little beyond his expertise. Eventually, his empire was going to fall apart just as quickly as it went up, even if he had conquered Russia and /or won the battle of waterloo.
This was a very good, condensed version. It's interesting and informative without too much fluff
added to make the video longer. The bad French accents......... were bad, lol. Well done.
Can you do one on Gettysburg or Peleliu? I’d love to hear about them!
Pls make a video on history of court politics it would be incredibly fun and would make you ultra popular
Thank you

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us ...how about General Perishing
Your Napoleon voice is fantastic
Please do *HISTORY OF RUBBER* thank you!
I think the whole scheme began to unravel for Napoleon when he betrayed Spain and got a sizable force bogged down in the endless quagmire of the Peninsular War. He now also had to deal with a war on two fronts, which stretched resources thin. Nevertheless, the French were strong enough to endure such a blunder, but then he went on and invaded Russia and it was light's out for his empire.
You should do a video on the Battle of Cowpens where the Americans under Daniel Morgan and Nathaniel Greene obliterated the British force’s. This and the “chase” they led Cornwallis on through the south ( led to him burning his baggage train even ) so after this crushing defeat he headed to Yorktown to rest, get supplies, and it backs up to the bay so the Americans couldn’t attack from that side... but the French could. And that’s what happened and it was the last battle of the Revolution on American soil.
You should do how Hitler lost the battle of Stalingrad
A European Emperor attacking a Russian city in winter without adequate supply lines, then getting annihilated as he retreats? How is it different?
@@sirloin8745 I'm not comparing Stalingrad to this. People would find it weird that the Germans captured 90% of Stalingrad and still lost.

the delay of message, multiple times arrived too late, and rain. Most importantly, the disobey of order from his generals...it is doomed to fail...
Just when I had gotten ABBA out of my head, this popped up on my notifications.
You do realize that when you cover Napoleon’s return to France that the troops shown in the video to receive him are in Russian uniforms, not French (if the double headed eagle flag didn’t give it away)...and later you use Union troops on horseback during the Civil War which I find really odd...or that you show the Scots Greys’ charge at the very end of the film which happened earlier in the battle. As for content, where to begin...
Do the battle of Kursk, pleasepleaseplease? I find it one of the most fascinating battles of WWII.
Plenty of reasons he lost. If he had been able to press the British before the Prussians arrived he probably would have been able to win the day
The weather retarded this...
He wasn't able to move artillery. And he was sick -__ -
Everything was against us on this day.
@@Raisonnance. nah at this point Napoleon and the French were just like the Germans at the battle of the bulge, the army was full of young inexperienced conscripts, as well as losing many of his marshals to either war or to their titles like sweden. This was a last ditch effort by Napoleon to win and make peace before the allies could merge forces
@@spookyboi8446 That may be a reason but it's balanced by the fact that the Anglo-Allied army fielded by Wellington was also pretty raw, spoke a mix of languages and part of it had until recently been fighting with the French.
@@markgrehan3726 True, however up until now the French had been at an advantage in terms of military, and this was the major turning point in the military history of the continent.
