    No, Napoleon did invade Russia and was terribly defeated but the dying was done by his soldiers. He died of cancer in exile on St. Helena.

      thank you for this, i always thought it was just gastric bleeding stomach ulcers so i had to look it up after reading this comment. so i guess the ulcers and meds made the cancer worse which led to his death?

      @@TheAlmawardofficially he died of Cancer, exacerbated by stomach ulcers. To quote a PBS documentary: “The physicians who conducted Napoleon's autopsy, on May 6, 1821, concluded that his death was from stomach cancer, exacerbated by bleeding gastric ulcers, after a huge dose of calomel - a compound containing mercury that was used as a medicine - was administered to him on the day before he died.”

    You can always tell who died in battle, by their statues. If they are mounted, they fought in wars, if they are standing, they ruled during peacetime. If there is one horse leg up, they were wounded in battle, and died of their injuries later. If two legs are up, they died in battle.

      According to the great Sir Terry Pratchett (im paraphrasing), if the horse has three legs in the air the rider got lost on the way to the battlefield, if the horse has four legs in the air you're dealing with an exceptionally skilled sculptor, and if there's five legs in the air there's at least one more horse behind the one you're looking at.

    Napolean's height started with france and england having different sets of measurements....he was 170 cm (above average for the time), but french units were larger so in french measurements he was 160 cm.

      The error at the time was actually based in the differences in Imperial unit standards between the two ( metric hadn't caught on yet in either location and this discrepency was one of the leading reasons the french revolution pushed metric so hard) but otherwise exactly right abd no one talks about it so thank you for pointing this out.

    I think you convoluted Napoleon and Alexander the Great.
    Yes, Napoleon invaded Russia. He retreated because he can't sustain the supply and winter came.
    Both Napoleon and Alexander the Great retreated, however, Alexander retreated not because he was defeated but to consolidate his army. Pause with plans to continue further invasions l in the future.
    Napoleon did not die in the battlefield. Alexander the Great did die away from his homeland with a mysterious illness before recommencing his invasion plans. Most people suggests he was sick of malaria, typhoid fever, or pneumonia. It can be a combination of a lot of other diseases.

    Napoleon was around average perhaps a bit over average in Height, however his enemies, as a form of propaganda said that he was small, also it did not help that his personal guards, had a minimum height requirement, which lead to Napoleon appeared to be smaller than he was because of the impressive physic of his guards.

    The "nothing is nowhere" at bit at the beginning bugs everyone and that's fine. There's maybe a dozen people on the planet who can really wrap their heads around this stuff. Put simply, time is related to movement in space, so if space didn't exist before the Big Bang, then neither did time; thus there is no time at which the Big Bang hadn't already happened.
    Regarding pre-British Empires, my favourite examples are actually about influence, not territory. Roman coins were used as legal tender across Europe as late as the 13th century because they were such high quality and so well known that everyone used them.
    Another good example is Ibn Battuta, a 14th century Muslim explorer born in Tangier who travelled throughout Africa and Asia as far as Kilwa, Tanzania; India, the Maldives, and Sumatra; and Beijing, China. He was good at languages, but he was always able to find people who spoke Arabic. The Abbasid and Malmuk Abbasid caliphates had been trading for so many centuries that merchants everywhere knew the language.
    Oh, and Napoléon was 5'6" by British measurement, but 5'2" under the French system where the inch was slightly longer. The British press intentionally left out that explanation to make fun of him.

    When Napoleon was defeated around Moscow his army largely froze and starved to death trying to retreat but Napoleon himself abandoned his soldiers and went back to western Europe. He was unable to recover from the loss of his army and was forced into exile on Elba island in 1814. The next year he went back to France and gathered a new army of loyalists but was defeated the next year at Waterloo and was exiled again, this time to St Helens from which he did not return. Napoleon was of average height for his time but would be considered short today.

Also, it's a series of canals, not just one, despite the name. There is a body of water in there as well.

    No doubt, that the Continent of Africa has a lot of minerals. But the place the has the most minerals on the planet, is still yet to be tapped in to. It's an on-going project in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. But sadly, the Ontario people have traditionally gravitated towards a Liberal or Conservative Provincial Government, and those 2 Government parties have always proven to be an issue when it comes to mining in Canada. The abundance of minerals that exists in the Northwestern Ontario region of Canada has been known about for well over 20 years now. The "Ring of Fire" is the biggest deposit discovered so far. But there has been nothing but roadblocks and ego on the part of our Provincial governments, both Conservative and NDP. When it comes to mining in Canada, the Yukon, Alberta and British Columbia are the only Provinces/Territories that have had consistent success when it comes to mining, and that has usually been under a NDP or Independent party. The Liberals and Conservatives, just complicate things, and create a whole bunch of "Red Tape". Just look at Alberta. They have moved almost entirely Conservative in the last 10+ years and their mining has taken a huge hit. Not just in their oil mining, but their precious metals as well. And instead of the Alberta citizens doing something about it, and voting in somebody different and with new ideas, they get caught up with identity politics and start blaming all their PROVINCIAL problems on the Federal government just to shit on Trudeau. And just for the record I'm not a fan of Trudeau or most of his Cabinet. Other than legalizing weed, I don't see anything good that his government has done. But, the amount of people that blame him for stuff that has nothing to do with the Federal government, just goes to show you how much people in Canada understand how our political system is ran. It also demeans the legitimate criticism towards Trudeau and his Liberal Cabinet.

      Also, it's not even worth debating. If you're going to argue the fact that the world population got out of hand, because slavery was ended, then you're not worth listening to. I really hope I'm wrong in my perception here. I always enjoyed watching the Office Blokes. I'd hate to think that one of them is willing to entertain the idea of this being the reason for the worlds population issues. He's kind of making it seem like that. :/

    As others have said, Napoleon returned alive from the Russian campaign. With his grand army destroyed (he lost around 360,000 soldiers in Russia) a coalition defeated him at the battle of Leipzig and later forced him to abdicate. They banished Napoleon to Elba in the Mediterranean. When he escaped Elba to France the troops they sent to capture him changed sides until he was in control of France again. The other nations didn't want a repetition of him conquering everyone again. Still on talking terms they gathered their armies to stop him again. After his defeat at Waterloo they banished him to to the remote island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic where he died.

    I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
    Stupid oversimplified:
    Rejects Roman annexation - Germanic Tribes defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them
    Creates an empire that wasn't really an empire but also was an empire and somehow lived for over 1000 years - very special and unique
    The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German States gangsta! Before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals.
    defeats the French, unites into a new empire
    Get a colonial empire
    Fights 80% of the world alone and almost won..
    Is treated badly
    Comeback as Villian, fights the whole world and only lost because of own mistakes..
    Gets divided again
    Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again.
    Also a few German inventions:
    - Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854)
    - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859)
    - The dynamo and tram (Werner von Siemens 1866)
    - The 35 mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925)
    - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - emigrated to the Americans during Nazi Germany - 1938)
    - The ship chart (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969)
    - Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864)
    - Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873)
    - The recorder, player - with which the first films were possible (Emil Berliner 1887)
    - The Aspirin - Which all great athletes felt used to relieve pain, And which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann, Klausi Alder.. 1879)
    - Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902)
    - Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903)
    - the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg)
    - The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz)
    - Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928)
    - Teabag (Adolf Rambold 1929)
    - The jet engines - Essential for all jets and rockets + First war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929)
    - First rocket (in general, Hans von Ohain)
    - The helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936)
    - The first car (Carl Benz - With honorary Schnauzer - 1886)
    - First Computer (Konrad Zuse 1941)
    - First 3D film (during the Third Reich)
    - Fanta (Yes THAT Fanta.. Also during the Nazi era)
    - The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869)
    - NASA (actually the US buyed thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves)
    - The first letterpress Mashine (Which was probably the best invention of all time because now they could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440)
    - Motorcycle (Gottlieb Daimler 1885)
    - Birth control pill (Schering AG 1961)
    - the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was a Swiss but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, Who triggered the gold rush in America. Not an inventor but cool fact - 1848)
    Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking.. And Craftsmanship.
    Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known
    The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. There was a big difference between Nazi, German and Wehrmacht soldier. There is no such thing as black and white.. People always wonder how could the Germans follow the Austrian Painter.. Well most Germans followed Hitler because of the crisis. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who promises you to fix it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed the crisis and gave the Germans hope again.. Or better: They gave the German people a scapegoat to blame. And remember that antisemitism was normal in Europe for hundreds of years. Many people didn't liked the jews because they were often these rich trading people. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy.
    It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. Most soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal soldier knew that even more. Many Germans were manipulated by the ultimate propaganda of the Nazis and could do nothing about it. They thought to the last second that they were winning because of the propaganda. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy.. Look what the german army achieved in ww2.. Because of their unbreakable pride. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power.
    We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German. Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA.. Because we are the most important point in Europe. And people are manipulated and have no prospects.. If you're proud of your history.. You will be called a Nazi.
    What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
    I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it.
    Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why you have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "American" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German..

If you're going to argue the fact that the world population got out of hand, because slavery was ended, then you're not worth listening to, because it's completely false, and arguments like that are only put forth by people who entertain racist culture. I really hope I'm wrong in my perception here. I always enjoyed watching the Office Blokes. I'd hate to think that one of them is willing to entertain the idea of this being the reason for the worlds population issues. He's kind of making it seem like that. :/

    This is the first ever video I've watched from you guys and I might try another few, but she seems much more of a person to do these kinds of videos than you are, my man. You're just trying to rush through it without reacting or contributing. Believe me, there are so many reaction channels now, you can't get away with that...

    Poverty is caused by low security and the lack of a unifying culture, not a lack of resources. Public trust of their safety, is vital to an advanced society. An advanced society, is vital to escape poverty, mankind's natural state.

    The United States Civil War ended in 1865, which in effect outlawed slavery in every state. The 13th constitutional amendment was ratified in December of 1865.

    I loved the Napoleon section
    just because it was so close to
    1066 And All That
    in its half remembered history
    Napoleon did attack Tsarist Russia in 1812
    (Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture - with canon)
    and as the French advanced
    the Russians withdrew burning crops etc.
    Napoleon entered an abandoned Moscow
    and then made a late autumn retreat
    which led to 500 000 French troop losses
    Napoleon was broken by this
    He lost control of some conquered nations
    and was exiled to Elba off Italy.
    He came back in 1815
    tried to strike at the Allied forces
    and lost at the Battle of Waterloo.
    The British then took charge of him
    and exiled him to St Helena
    which was one of a chain of islands around the world
    that the British used as restocking points
    It is rumoured that he had fashionable green wallpaper in his rooms
    on St Helena
    The green was made with Arsenic
    and in the damp climate the Arsenic leeched out
    and contributed to his demise.
    I think the myth of Harold II at the Battle of Hastings (1066)
    dying from an arrow in the eye
    might be what Dave was thinking of.
    I was doing a little reading project on abandoned cities
    and remembered the Great Zimbabwe
    but I couldn't find much on its history
    which is a shame.

    “Napoleon was only 51 when he died on the island of St. Helena, where he was out of power and exiled. By May 5, 1821, he had been getting sicker, suffering from recurrent abdominal pain, progressive weakness and unabating constipation. His last weeks were plagued by vomiting, incessant hiccups and blood clots. The physicians who conducted his autopsy, on May 6, 1821, concluded that his death was from stomach cancer, exacerbated by bleeding gastric ulcers, after a huge dose of calomel - a compound containing mercury that was used as a medicine - was administered to him on the day before he died. Ever since, armchair pathologists have been wondering if this was, indeed, the case, or if he was poisoned with arsenic.”

    Napoleon was quite popular with the common folk even in Britain, General Wellington had propaganda made depicting a giant Wellington and a tiny Napoleon, those propaganda tricks made the world believe Napoleon was small, which he wasn't, he was 1,68 m, the average of a french man in 1800 was 1,64 m, so he was tall for the time

    Not like when I was your age. If I wanted to know something, and nobody I knew knew it
    I had to take my ass down to the library, and try to figure out the right words to get the correct search, to find the card that told me the # of the book, and what section and aisle it was in. But didn't tell me if it was checked out or not.
