@m n his military reforms are mostly about the corps system even if he didnt come up with it, the way he employed them alone is enough to credit him with inventing modern warfare
The thing is that most of these wars were declared on Napoleonic France. France rarely was the aggressor. Napoleon was just so good at warfare that he kept beating each coalition giving him the ability to negotiate peace each time on his own terms.
@@fredbarker9201 You can't fault Napoleon for crushing his enemies so thoroughly and then renegotiating the peace on his terms. He was basically securing France's geopolitical influences and ensuring that no one would threaten it by expanding its hegemony.

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 These numbers are pointless, because it doesnt factor in when these nations were formed or in which geographical and political situation they are in. For example how do you want to count Germanies wins, when they formed in 1871.

One interesting aspect is to compare the numbers of soldiers and armies fighting here in the napoleonic wars with the in comparison small numbers in the american civil war almost over 50 years later..the southern states had General Lee,but they would for sure have needed someone like Napoleon on their side to really make a difference...
In France, we still have a lot of influence coming down from this era Like we can say “ C’est la bérésina” which is related to the battle on this river on the Russian front that was a disaster from french forces even if they won In modern french it means a disaster or like “this is hell”
Napoleon. That name alone struck fear into the hearts of tyrants. The Enlightenment on Horseback. The Revolution personified. The very image of the self made man. The last truly great “Great Man” of history. The God of War. He was a great general but perhaps an even greater statesman. As First Consul and then Emperor he basically built modern France.
England, since they were kick off from the continent, have always fight most powerful continental country by gold and diplomacy (means, pay other country to fight the powerful one).. They do that against the Habsburg (Spanish + austria), then against France, during Louis XIV to Napoleonic era, then after against Russia, then Prussia.. Even as a French, I've to admit, English were, and still are better at diplomatic game, than everyone else.
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- true but in 1813 the quality of the French army in Spain was not the same than in 1808. Don't forget that the Prussians saved the day at Waterloo and that half the British army wasn't British.

Read about Bajirao 1 (1700-1740), Samudragupta (335-380 AD), also.
Napoleon basically invented modern warfare and was ahead of his enemies by several decades in that aspect so not exactly surprising
@m n his military reforms are mostly about the corps system

Yep, did so well that a group of mostly convicts from Britain beat him... Twice on land and once at sea. Pathetic

The most sobering fact about what these wars did to France is that 1/5 of all Frenchmen born between 1791-1795 died fighting for Napoleon.

Napoelon started 2/9 European wars he was involved in. That’s 7 against him. Meaning his enemies ripped up and abused peace treaties 6 times

But in terms of battle, I guarantee you that they are pretty useless
England was better at trade, therefore had a lot of money which was their main diplomatic asset.
@@lasalle1042 So useless that they conquered Spain and Portugal from the French?

React to the first Napoleon siege of Toulon victory that's the starting video of this series. You have skipped it that is the starting
Our Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's greatest victory was the Battle of Austerlitz 1805 against Austria
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 I thought the Six days campaign was his best, on his last legs and still won a victory.

They aren’t better. They have gold.
Also the French marching pace was increase ,the other armies march at an average of 70 step/minute
The French march around 120step/minute
France 🇫🇷 a smaller country she said ? Actually the biggest most populous and powerful nation of Europe.
Nope not really
In terms of land area I believe it is second to Russia even if we only count it's european part only
But in population it shares 3rd place with the uk and italy, second place goes to Germany and first place? Well you guessed it, Russia.
I know if france was small why was it able to raise over 600,000 men to attack russia? France actually had a large population.
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- wasnt only half the army french? The rest were from nations Napoleon conquered/subjugated
