By the way the point you were making worked for the USN in the war of 1812. The Royal Navy was fairly impressed with American sailors and thought more highly of them than the French.
"If this is a Swedish ship, why are all the crew Dutch?"
Sounds like a lost Monty Python sketch.
Connor; Merchant ships could be crewed by anybody. Keep Reacting!
Hemp is stronger and grows much, much faster than cotton. You process and use the stems into strands that are woven into ropes, sails, clothes, and sacks.
Connar, Hemp was used to make rope and sacks, it was also used with tar to fill the spaces between planks on naval ships to make them water tight. The Royal Navy needed at that time needed thousands of miles of rope for it’s sailing ship’s rigging, furnishings, and stores. This is why Hemp was an essential commodity at the time.
Poor little Napoleon. Little did he know he was destined for defeat and exile until his death. The British Royal Navy were kind enough to transport him on HMS Undaunted to his first exile in Elba and then on HMS Northumberland to his final exile on the island of St Helena. The British also generously 'protected' Napoleon there with a garrison of 2,100 soldiers while further assuring his 'safety' with a squadron of 12 ships continuously patrolling the waters around St Helena. Decent chaps, us British 🇬🇧
Arrêtes de boire du "fucking" whisky ! Toi, ta petite armée de Nelson en 1812 (la preuve est que nous français, on vous a toujours vaincu lors des batailles engagées contre la perfide Albion et très largement et encore aujourdh'ui, c'est nous qui avons le leasdership militaire en Europe, que ça te défrise ou pas !!! ), vous êtes venus à Waterloo, juste après les efforts accomplis par les autres pays, vous avez maltraité Napoléon en l'isolant de manière indigne dans une ile lointaine. Et nous vous serons toujours supérieurs et militairement et sur d'autres plans !! Pauvre petit anglais !!
Love the hat! One love from Scotland. 💙
The USA sided with France in the trade War, which led to the events that resulted in the war of 1812
TBH: Pro-British Federalists in Washington were outraged by what they considered Republican favouritism toward France. The leading Republican, Thomas Jefferson responded, that... “the English being equally tyrannical at sea as he _[Napoleon]_ is on land, and that tyranny bearing on us in every point of either honor or interest, I say ‘down with England'...” The United States declared the war on Britain. But after Napoleon’s disastrous Russian campaign of 1812, the British concentrated on the American continent, enacting a crippling blockading of the east coast, attacking Washington and burning the White House and other Government buildings, and acquiring territory in Maine and the Great Lakes region. American forces, however, won important naval and military victories at sea, on Lake Champlain, and at Baltimore and Detroit. Canadians defeated an American invasion of Lower Canada. By 1814 neither side could claim a clear victory and both war weary combatants looked to a peaceful settlement.
I would recommend watching a Thomas Cochrane documentary. Because he was a naval commander in the napoleonic era and a very good one at that.
There's a lot more to Lord Thomas Cochrane. The movie Master and Commander was based on his exploits. Napoleon nicknamed him the Sea Wolf. On top of that he became a Member of Parliament (MP). He was also sent to prison but escaped but didn't run away. He became an Admiral in FOUR different navies. British, Chile, Peru and Brazil. I definitely recommend you review this fearless man.
So Connor , you are starting to realise although Napoleon may have been a good General he was not a Good Emperor....
He was considered perfection by the French. A waste of space by the British Generals.
The USA would have picked France but didn't have a fleet or a military, they were not a threat to anyone. It wasn't until the threat of Germany during ww1 that the UK started to relocate its military industry to the much safer shores of the USA that the US was allowed to have any kind of military power.
@@alistairbolden6340 And yes that’s why you have f*** up every war since ww2 when we wasn’t there to hold your hands
How did that go for the uk lol
@@YouSmokeChed Pretty well, the UK has the second largest defence industry in the world.
@@alistairbolden6340 pretty sure France sells more than us I could be wrong but our industry is tiny, plus France has those crazy missiles
@@YouSmokeChed no our industry is massive we sell more than China and Russia combined.
Connar, the reason Napoleon did not deice his expansion, is the same as every conqueror, before the British Empire. He, like all of them, wanted to out shine, and out live the historic reputation of Alexander The Great. It’s that simple. Napoleon Bonaparte modelled himself on Julius Caesar, who himself modelled himself on Alexander The Great.
Napoleon Bonaparte wanted to conquer all Europe, Asia, and Africa, and surpass them both. But he could not defeat the impediment to his all ambitions - Britain.
A big reason for the trade ban was not just to make the British poor but also every nation that he had just taken, he was well away that holding all of Europe was impossible and was just trying to reduce his future rivals power, its the same reason he walked 500.000 non French into Russia, it was win win reduce the Russian military and the Germany/Prussian military at the same time. The issue was he also lost to many of his own French cores to bad weather.
The wars were not constant. With Austria for example Napoleon had peace contracts after every major battle that he won. And since he won the battles, he could make demands.
Hemp at the time was used in fabrics, clothing,medicine, Building,Food all sorts of things more importantly it was what Rope and Sails were made from, No hemp , no rope, no Sails, no Royal Navy, no industry, there was a massive hemp industry all the way up to the discovery of nylon, once nylon was discovered by the petrochemical industry there was a huge push to replace hemp with nylon, one of the main reasons for the criminalisation of hemp products (weed) was the push by the petrochemical lobbyists...
It was the orignial Brexit.
France has never stopped throwing tantrums.
18:45 At that point the Danes didnt have an Navy anymore it was almost entirely destroyed. From the 11th century the Danes had been a naval power until the Napoleonic wars and specifically the raid on Copenhagen. The Danish Navy never recovered.
And the Danes wouldn't capture Russian ships or ships with Russian flags out of fear of war.
Merchant crews were international and Napoleon was a dictator, it only had to make sense to him.
In a nutshell: Napoleon's downfall was brought about by the consistent betrayal by his "allies"!
It's like 🇺🇸 telling Europe they can't buy 🇷🇺 gas/oil now. 🇪🇺 still buys it. But 🇷🇺 sells it to 🇮🇳 first. It's then sold as 🇮🇳 oil/gas, even though they don't have any. But the EU citizenry has to pay 4 times as much.

I mean, It's not very smart to depend on a very important resource made in another country, when that country has a long history of agression againts you. Im not saying, dont trade with them. What I'm saying is don't become dependent on them for a very important specific resource.
@@colachofcb Most countries already do diversify their energy suppliers. And last time I checked, Russia hasn't done a thing to the EU (apart from sell us cheap gas & oil) 🇺🇸 biggest fear for the last 3 decades was 🇩🇪 technology & money teaming up with 🇷🇺 manpower & cheap energy. They've made no secret of that fact. Hence 💣 up Nordstream & destroying the German manufacturing industry. Thousands of EU pensioners will perish this winter because of it too.
The British could just shoot their way into the Baltic at will. Denmarks navy was no match after Copenhagen
Also Napoleon was a great general but a terrible diplomat. And he simply did not understand Naval warfare
Napoleon is obviously your hero Conor 😅
Depends what you mean by "rich" until the end of the first world war 99% of wealth was owned by 1% of the population.
Russian and British power was more powerful than the french, it was stupid of Napton to fight against both powers
Your problem in not understanding his decisions and calling them stupid is because mainly of hindsight as you suggested, but also because you are seing this as if it was a strategy game.
Mistakes are made constantly by everybody but you must remember that they have not a clean defined grand winning goal. Like you say that the blockade was dumb. But just the idea of putting thousands of your best military in a battle is dumb in the same way. You do not know if you will the battle. You do not know how many of them will die. You do not know if you will survive.
Or like when you talked about stopping and consoliding instead of invading russia. Just like if this was a game of invading the whole world. Or like if napoleon would be alive to see it. Or like if the allience would survive beyond napoleon. Look at charlemagne, alexander or gengis khan cases.
Things only look stupid because you view the reality as a simple game. That is not reality.
Hehe ... Brest.
The sails were made of hemp, ropes could be made of hemp, clothes were made of hemp. Paper could be made of hemp
A truly remarkable plant.
France lost to the British, the same went for Germany when they couldn't defeat them
It is rather entire European economy needed the products and raw material British produced and manufactured a lot more than Britain needed the markets Napoleon captured and imposed his will in Europe. Britain could always continue to trade with USA (till 1812 and even wartime US and UK trade continued in lowkey) , Russian Empire (which opened its ports in 1810) , Latin America (Spanish New World Territories in Central and South America) , Ottoman Empire , Far East , India. Not to mention Portugal continued to trade with British against Napoleon's wishes. And smuggling of British goods and cargoes unofficiallt though coasts of Europe skyrocketed. British even established a huge smuggling depot at Heligoland Island north of German shores.
Eventually French and European ports became starved of customs taxes and tariffs British trade could bring in and that hit their economies even harder while British merchants could determine theunofficial sale prices of their goods since they were the only supplier. European countries under French rule of Napoleon , needed raw materials like sugar , textiles , cotton , spices , tobacco , tea , coffee a lot more and could not substitute them.
Never interdict supply and demand balance. Its outcome is unpredictable
VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE
La Grande Bretagne, seule, a profité lâchement de la situation à Waterloo, il y avait d'autres pays et nous français, avons combattu loyalement et toujours gagné les guerres contre les britishs !
Portugal didnt blockade the english and the portuguese king tricked napoleon. Napoleon tried invade Portugal but he failed 3 times and the portuguese king went to brazil making rio de janeiro capital city of portuguese empire. that video missed a lot of important things
Poor old frogs they get anything wrong , just like the Maginot line in ww2 they build it without the back door what a bunch of silly Billy’s
Except that the Maginot Line worked in the first place... the Germans just made a breakthrough from Belgium.
And in the meantime, it was these "old frogs" who allowed those piglets of rosbif to return to England, with their tails between their legs. Especially Montgomery.
Except the Maginot Line worked in the first place... The Germans just broke through from Belgium.
And that didn't stop the "Silly Billy's" from protecting the ass of the Brits who were fleeing on their ships with their tails between their legs. Including Montgomery.
@@tibsky1396 Well didn’t stop the Germans did it because there was no back door ,yes we left to protect our Islands and it’s a good job we did otherwise you would be talking with a German accent. Remember we didn’t capitulate we and our allies came back and set you free .as soon as I put that other comment down I knew a frog would bite you just can not help yourselves just like in two world wars so don’t be a silly billy
@@robertlangley1664 «These Frenchmen, under the gallant leadership of general Molinié, had for four critical days contained no less than seven German divisions which otherwise could have joined in the assaults on the Dunkirk perimeter. This was a splendid contribution to the escape of their more fortunate comrades of the British Expeditionnary Force »
- Winston Churchill, The Second World War. vol. II. Their Finest Hour.
Yes, a tank cannot roll on the sea... it is certain that not capitulating when you live on an island is always more comfortable.
And it was Churchill who arrived at the right time, some in parliament were even considering making peace with Germany.
@@robertlangley1664 “The prolonged defense of the French garrison played an important role in the reestablishment of British troops in Egypt. From the outset, the Free French seriously disrupted Rommel's offensive. The supply of supplies to the Afrikakorps was severely affected. The increasing concentration of the Axis to pierce this abscess saved the British 8th Army from disaster. The delays brought by the resolute resistance of the French increased the chances of the British to recover and facilitated the preparation of a counterattack. In the longer term, the slowdown in Rommel's maneuver enabled British forces to escape the planned Axis annihilation. This is how we can say, without exaggeration, that Bir Hakeim facilitated El-Alamein's defensive success. "
_ British historian Ian Playfair, on the Battle of Bir-Hakeim in 1942.
And without the presence of other allies like US or USSR, you would have done nothing more than stay on your island and wait for better fortune. That is literally the whole British story.
