@diesunddas8908 @tristanpinto9431 Well imo it was the monarchies from all other countries in Europe that started these wars everytime.

Just a matter of perspective, as always.

@@Thisandthat8908 It's like you didn't even listen to the video... Napoleon, if you except the invasion of Russia, didn't start any of those wars so you can't put that on him.

Napoleon Must be one of the Most Fascinating historical figure. He is the most successful general in human history being almost 20 Victories ahead of the second most successful general. Fortunately he had something I like to call the dictator syndrome where he had to invade Russia and being screwed over by the winter
@@Dudewithguns-ww7wc No one really invaded Russia in the winter. The issue was always remaining in Russia until winter hit. Summer and disease killed hundreds of thousands of his men, unlike the winter that only killed tens of thousands.
That and back then monarchs were still operating on the Divine Rule idea, that the royalty were chosen by God to lead the people. Killing a monarch, even an upstart like Napoleon, would send a bad message to their own people that murdering monarchs might be a pretty okay thing to do.
If you wonder why they didn’t kill him, it’s just that kill an European monarch chosen by “god” would open up a breach in other monarchs’s invincibility in the eyes of the people. They had to keep kind of a power balance
They could hardly have considered him "chosen by God", given the fact that he had styled himself as the champion of an anti-clerical revolution, had launched a military attack on the Papal State and in the end crowned himself emperor.
My Great Great Great Great Grand Father Was a soldier of Napoleon. He died during the battle of Moskova, as a Hussards Lieutenant, leading a charge against the Russians, to protect the retreating troops.
The allies didn`t want to kill him because would have made him a martyr and this could`ve contribute a lot to his already massive popularity that had, and none of the european monarchies would have want that

@@YukoValis I Never Said HE invaded Russia in the winter, I said his invasion has been screwed over by winter, but I agree on your points
The coalition probably exiled Napoleon because executing him would make him a martyr to his supporters. They’d have to do this all over again.
That and back then monarchs were still operating on the Divine Rule idea, that the royalty were chosen by God to lead the people. Killing a monarch, even an upstart like Napoleon, would send a bad message to their own people that murdering monarchs might be a pretty okay thing to do.
I stayed till the end. Awesome reaction. Napoleon was a force in his time.
Well the thing is back back then Moscow wasn’t the capital saint peter’sburg was the capital
Watching Napoleon and his army retreat out of Russia was like watching a bleeding seal try to swim away from a Great White Shark.
I love watching you guys, cheers from America!
Monarchs generally speaking try not to kill other monarchs. It sets a bad precedent.
Not only that but he’d be seen as a martyr.

@@ansibarius4633 he didn't kill him to make him a martyr, and if you kill an emperor, what prevents the French from also killing the other emperors?

Really? More so than Jesus? Or Alexander?

@@Conorp77 yes.
@@Conorp77 he’s the most written about mortal man, more biographies than *days* since he died 200 years ago
only in the west. in the east is very different.

Euro Semifinal today. I wonder if Denmark remember all that blowing up that went on in Copenhagen? Lol.
Probs XD
Gotta have big balls to see a coalition declare war not on your country/empire but on yourself...
Definitely stayed until the end of the video. Who wouldn't?
Thanks... 😁 👍... Kev
They forgot about the part where Napoleon's uncle ran over the tupperware.
