Watching this right after the English Civil War videos is fascinating. There you had leaders constantly messing up and losing entire battles from misteps. Here you see every mistep get corrected, every gambit get countered. It's like switching from watching High School sports to watching the Olympics.
It’s very much like a chess match between proffesionals. Great move after great move from both sides, but then one side makes a slight mistake, and the opponent capitalizes and gains an advantage, soon turning it into a victory
The fun thing about napoleonic quotes from his earlier years are that in context of his life achievements, they are great bordering on profound. In context of the time many of them were made, they are pompous and borderline ridiculous and many of his contemporaries thought as much. The man was overly dramatic for a side show sector of the war, in retrospect he seems to have known what he was talking about.
“The moment when I felt the difference between me and other men…was a few days after the Battle of Lodi. I felt that I was worth much more, and that I was destined to save France.” - Napoleon, in exile on Saint Helena to General Bertrand
Napoleons battles are so crazy the rearguard becomes the vanguard in a matter of hours! The genius of moving thousands of troops over miles of countryside at lightening pace is astonishing. This period of history electrifying
idk what people are smoking- I'm personally thankful for all the patreons because their support is what allows Chris to keep doing what he does and bring all of us a good time and new knowledge-
While i do generally agree that a civilian oversight of military situations could bring unrealistic objectives but napoleon a competent military leader did the same to his marshals in spain even though he complained when the directory did this to him.
A key difference is political climate. In the time of the directory, being out of favour at the wrong moment or having a military campaign go against you, regardless if its civilian government asking the impossible could end in imprisonment and/or the guillotine. Remember that prior to this campaign, napoleon has come from a prison cell due to his friendship with Robespierre's younger brother, who was executed alongside his brother. Napoleon needs success, glory and the french people to know about it to make himself harder to get rid of. In napoleons day, a jacobin like bernadotte could be disgraced and shut out of politics and the army, had bernadotte pulled his shit during the directory's day, he'd be dead.
Day two of seeing if I can get confirmation. Really love your Napoleon reactions but in general all your history videos. Hey many of us me included hope you can eventually react to Napoleon marshals series which is extremely well made and I think you would very much enjoy. So if you get time for it eventually many of us would love to see you react to that 6 part series. Regards from a Swede.
Been watching for a few years now Chris and all the interactions I’ve had with you have been great! Every video you come with just as much energy to learn as to teach, it’s been great to see your channel grow and deservedly so, keep doing what you’re doing!
27:25 - The PMF Productions vid actually talks about reports of strong concentrations of french troops both near lake garda and near mantua. He imo chose to cover mantua because it was the key to the campaign and needed to be relieved but yeah cost him in the end because he lost at castiglione.
It was great watching your NTW campaign! Gotta a real throw back from seeing it. Haven't played NTW for about a year, but it's been 10 years since I did the Italian campaign. Good memories XD
Thank you for your tireless engagement with your fans and followers!! If you’re taking video/reaction suggestions, I’ve never seen a video about the German naval fleet that was scuttled in Scapa Flow in 1919. The sms coln, brummer, and kronprinz Wilhelm are dive sites for SCUBA divers.
I am a big fan of your videos!!! in highschool i felt like i had teachers who were not very interested in teaching the history subject but it was always something that has really peaked my interest, i spent a lot of my time growing up watching videos such as epic history tv or oversimplified videos, i wish you were my history teacher
It’s a long one, and it doesn’t really fit with the event-driven history videos you regularly react on, but please prioritize a multi-part reaction to Napoleons Marshall’s. It’s starts from rank 26 and ends at 1 with the top ranks covered in longer duration. But it’s my favorite epichistoryTV video and that says a lot. I own the Marshalls poster.
OK I get your point with Lincoln and Fredericksburg BUT If 2 whole divisions weren't scared of 1 gun under Pegram and actually followed up on Meade's attack on Jackson on time, the left side of the Confederate line gets utterly crushed. It was Union inaction and stubborness to not change the plan during the battle that cost them victory, not the battle itself. Burnside could have also come up with something other than waiting for the pontoons
Epic history did such a good job on this series it should be on streaming services to catch the eyes of more people. Particularly with the movie on the way. Quality is more than enough.
I'd love to see you return to the rise of Caesar and the Roman civil war from Kings and Generals, or Belisarius from the same channel. They're lengthy, but it's so interesting to watch and i'd love to see your takes on it!
25:40 Wellington demonstrated this same ability in 1812, when he decided to withdraw and sacrifice the gains main in the campaign in order to avoid risking the destruction of his army. A lot of commanders would've have been willing to do that
Another interesting aspect of Napoleon relationship with the directory during this campaign was their dependency on Napoleon’s “contributions” that he levied from the Italians. The Directory was on the rocks financially and these monetary gains helped keep their heads above water. This gave Napoleon tremendous leverage over them and even though they feared his growing popularity they found themselves reliant upon the tribute he provided.
This reminds me of Pattons constant push to engage the enemy before they could regroup and dig in. The Huns too, won a lot of battles just by moving so fast.
Have you ever considered the Original 1970 Production of Waterloo? History Buffs did an excellent review, but the film was so detailes and so well done, there is certainly room for your unique takes.
I don't know if it's in this video or in one of the next but at one point you can see a Hohenzollern lead a chunk of the Austrian forces. Made me think for a bit. I found that quite amusing.
According to von Clausewitz, I believe, one well fortified defender is worth three attackers. So, the minimum advantage, at least to von Clausewitz, is three to one for successful offensive operations against fortified defenders.
"This is like one of those scenes from a movie" That is Napoleon's whole life. Things you would expect to find in a fantasy or exaggerated book are real life events. In fact I think Napoleon's life is far greater than any work of fiction, which is why I believe him to be one of the greatest if not THE greatest man to have ever lived.
So much of Napoleon's military career and generalship are reminiscient of Friedrich der Grosse. Freidrich's whole army at the beginning of the Seven Years War was more like foot cavalry than Thomas Jackson's men in the valley in 1862. Freidrich was a man whom Napoleon showed much deserved respect.
I recommend a documentary series called ‘Regimental stories’. I’d start with the Royal Welsh. Furthermore, a Russian documentary series called ‘Soviet Storm : WW2 in the east’
Afaik, while the revolution turned very anti religious, it didn"t start out that way, and many lower clergy members were initially willing to go along with the initial aims of the revolution
Regarding France having neighbors that were not united being one aspect of their great success and ability to project their influence across the continent: there's also the fact that the French were the most powerful land force in Europe. Nobody wanted to face the British on the seas, but neither did anyone want to face the French on land.
Again, I'm going to lobby for a reaction to EpicHistory TV's first-part video on the Abbasid Caliphate, which presided over the Islamic Golden Age. Once again, I know this is a bit outside your wheelhouse, but I'd love your commentary on it. Barring that, would you consider reacting to Overly Sarcastic Productions again? You reacted to two of Blue's videos on failed assassinations throughout history and on Scotland, so I'd advise his vids on Mycenaean Greece (pre-classical era Greece). I'd also pitch Red (the mythology and literature side of the channel) on Legends Summarized: Eldorado, because it's actually more of a history-centric video.
On the point about Napoleon’s charisma, I believe it was the Duke of Wellington who said Napoleon’s presence on the battlefield was worth that of 10,000 men.
I love your videos VTH and, while I don't always agree 100%, they are always informative and interesting. Thank you for creating making my days more interesting
Blitzkrieg in 1796...think about that. Romans used strategic movement to their advantage, and Napoleon was a student of history, especially military history. He knew the advantages. And that sound of the guns...is so typical of warfare. All the best. Cheers.
Could you perchance be interested in taking a crack at the most excellent SandRhoman History? You will not regret it! Its quite an in depth look channel, with direct sources listed much of the time and all.
Yes Sandrhoman is the best channel around for 15th-17th century European history While other channels do cover events from that period, he has made it his specialty
I love your videos and have been watching for about 3 years but ive always wondered how did napoleon and other generals of that time camunicate like how did he know his one group needed help and how did he tell his other crews to back them up because they didn’t have the technology to send codes?
I think Wurmser was getting correct information about French troops massing between him and Mantua. The massing troops would have been those gathering to leave Mantua. Napoleon's army simply moved faster than expected. Correct information with about a one day delay.
The 2002 miniseries is tremendous.. It goes into the people more than the battles.. It is in some ways the "Gettysburg" (movie that is) of Napoleonic dramatisations.
excellent comment on Waterloo. Even if Napoleon had won, he would have lost the next battle. The episode of the 100 days was catastrophic because Talleyrand had negotiated an excellent compromise...ruined by Napoleon's return. Same remark about Trafalgar: if the French had won, the English had another equally large fleet in reserve. let's be honest...the English admirals and sailors are better...especially since the majority of the talented French admirals had been guillotined...
Given what he experienced on this campaign, it's no surprise that Napoleon put an end to the persecution of the Catholic Church once he gained power in France. He saw how it only inspired resistance for little to no gain.
I wonder if the directorate back in the capital keeps sending him letters trying to micromanage the theatre and he's smart enough to keep dodging them.
I recommend watching old britannia's channel he has videos on a lot of events from the seven years war to ww2. Particularly i recommend his video on the aims of each nation in ww1 and his defense of appeasement leading to ww2
Chris, i disagree with your thoughts on the French Directories view of religeon. My point it the Revolution was the 3rd estate (the general people) against the Nobility (1st estate) and the Church (2nd estate). So the Catholic church was being treated no differently to what they did with the nobility; they seize their lands and powers for the revolution....atleast they dont behead the priests.
I just came from Paris where I viewed the mass grave of hundreds of priests, nuns, and other church people who were guillotined, so I'm not sure I can agree with you there.
you know how much history they have to cram in "Napoleon" which is ig covering the whole military life of Napoleon from French Revolution to (maybe) Battle of Waterloo.
There is an interesting video call "would you have been a Nazi" of the channel then & and now. Try to depicts all the forces and pressures that affect individual and social life. You should take a look a it
The best American revolution videos I’ve ever seen are from this new channel called History rebels that goes through each battle in detail. Only two videos so far on Lexington and concord and Bunker hill. Please check it out you won’t regret it. Going in order of events during the revolution. Very similar style to Extra history, and other channels like it!
@@VloggingThroughHistory haha thank you for spotting that, you’re absolutely right, I don’t know why I put civil war there, but the channel never the less is one of the best hidden gems I’ve found on TH-cam, I think History marche even recommended it!
Can you imagine if the Austrians had captured Joséphine?. Despite her infidelity, this was Napoleon's 'great love', possible Napoleon would have rip every Austrian POW a new ass and cut the Austrian empire into ribbons in order to have her released.
Watching this right after the English Civil War videos is fascinating. There you had leaders constantly messing up and losing entire battles from misteps. Here you see every mistep get corrected, every gambit get countered. It's like switching from watching High School sports to watching the Olympics.
It’s very much like a chess match between proffesionals. Great move after great move from both sides, but then one side makes a slight mistake, and the opponent capitalizes and gains an advantage, soon turning it into a victory
tru
The fun thing about napoleonic quotes from his earlier years are that in context of his life achievements, they are great bordering on profound. In context of the time many of them were made, they are pompous and borderline ridiculous and many of his contemporaries thought as much.
The man was overly dramatic for a side show sector of the war, in retrospect he seems to have known what he was talking about.

Napoleons battles are so crazy the rearguard becomes the vanguard in a matter of hours! The genius of moving thousands of troops over miles of countryside at lightening pace is astonishing. This period of history electrifying
idk what people are smoking- I'm personally thankful for all the patreons because their support is what allows Chris to keep doing what he does and bring all of us a good time and new knowledge-

I talked about that in the last episode. No idea when I will but I will get to it at some point.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Okay thanks so much for the answer. :)
20:00 My last vacation in Italy was at lake Garda. Didn't know Napoleon had been through there; the Italians didn't mention it :)

Much appreciated. Glad you're a part of this community!
Not only does Chris read all the comments here, he reads all the comments on any social media. This is why I love following Chris and his work.
I do indeed!
A year on and this still seems to be the case.
i beg do the extra history justinian one it is their best ( and longest) one
He should first do the Napoleons Marshals series
100% agree that he has to watch that one as well. Excellent series which shows also a brilliant general from a different time.
Belisarius from epic history tv aswell. 🥺🙏
I second you
Yes i love the Belisarius video
31:22
Austrian Battalions to Napolean: You should surrender. It's the end General.
Napolean: Call an ambulance... but not for me!
Great reaction as always! Epic history tv is truly an epic channel.
I found your channel yesterday, can’t stop watching. You provide so much insight in your reactions, well done
Welcome! Glad to have you here.

Poor city of Solferino....Napoléon the third came back here in 1859 to defeat ,again, the Austrians...

Nepoleon's victory in Italy is comparable to if Braxton Bragg had won the U.S. Civil War with the army of Tennessee.
That's a great analogy!
Love these reactions, hope we soon get one for Napoleon's Marshals video
This is a must to watch
The "sunk cost fallacy" is basically why General Lee stayed to fight to the end at Gettysburg.
Can't wait for the 'Napoleons Marshals' reaction.
OK I get your point with Lincoln and Fredericksburg
BUT

22:22 At the right, Meszaros, is hungarian. (Mészáros János) Just as József Alvinczi who replaces Wurmser once the latter is besieged in Mantua.
I love your reactions, so much better than the generic ones you usually see
This reminds me of Pattons constant push to engage the enemy before they could regroup and dig in. The Huns too, won a lot of battles just by moving so fast.

This battle took place in the same field which saw Napoleon III and Franz Josef face each other in 1859 (battle of Solferino).

Hey, Great content I love your work. I would want to suggest you to look at the few of the Indian battles there are quite a few great ones. 😊
Clicked on this because my father's mother's family is from Sicily and her mothers maiden name was Castiglione lol.
According to von Clausewitz, I believe, one well fortified defender is worth three attackers. So, the minimum advantage, at least to von Clausewitz, is three to one for successful offensive operations against fortified defenders.
Fast movement is incredibly important in war. It enables you to outflank enemy forces and to strike at unexpected targets.
Whole Campaign was 209 miles in a month, that's pretty dang quick for 1796
That solves it, Wurmser needed a 6th Corp!
Would love to see a video from u about the battle of lund or the great northen war

U should do more of this serieus I like thise videos so much when u revieuw them
Can anyone tell me why does the sound change at 11:33 ?
I recommend a documentary series called ‘Regimental stories’. I’d start with the Royal Welsh. Furthermore, a Russian documentary series called ‘Soviet Storm : WW2 in the east’
The music is amazing
Afaik, while the revolution turned very anti religious, it didn"t start out that way, and many lower clergy members were initially willing to go along with the initial aims of the revolution
Also I am digging the facial hair, you look like D'Artagnan.
