How did nobody catch Mark say " the guy from Vienna" when talking about great leaders😂😂
I hope he sees this comment cause that was gold
I was surprised no one picked it up in the comments as well
Greatness doesn't mean goodness
EXACTLY
what guy? i dont get it
I'm very impressed by Andrew here. First the fact that he asks who wrotes that "Napoleon was the worst". Of course were the British. Is the victors who writes history.
And it wasn't Napoleon who invented the total war state, it was the French Revolution that call the masses to defend Paris during the war of the first coalition. Napoleon participated there but was a small fish. But the facts that he knows how total war change and everything is used to supply the MIC is impressive. Like he read Ernst Junger "Total Mobilization". Good job Andrew.
Well it still was generally agreed throughout all of Europe that Napoleon was an asshole, he kept backstabbing his allies, while also declaring war on neutral smaller countries, and everyone was genuiely afraid of him because he expanded the French Revolution/Civil War to a continental war and no one knew if he was going to ever stop his conquest, same as Hitler tbh.
Andrew is smarter than he lets on.
Pretty sure he studied history in school
Victors don't writer history historians write history people only care about the Victor's have to say.
Writes not wrotes. And he’s not that smart, he said Napoleon “perfected artillery” which isn’t true at all
Andrews history knowledge is actually underrated I was not expecting that
Hey Shultz, correction at 1:57 He didn’t fight Cyrus, he fought and defeated Darius III in The Battle of Gaugamela which led to the fall of the Great Achaemenid (Persian) Empire. Cyrus the Great was a couple of centuries before Alexander and he was the founder of the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire.
schulz*
@@Piz281correction should start at “we really wiped Napoleon from the history books!” Literally don’t know of any western nation in which that could be even remotely true
I’m a few minutes in and already I know that Andrew and the gang need to play more assassin’s creed
nobody needs to play more video games bro youre a nerd
Tall men who aren’t in any pro sport are pointless…it’s like, what you Tall for?
That’s kinda true
The emperor that Andrew mentioned from India was "Ashoka"!
Star Wars?
@@RSmith-wd7zr nah there was a real ashoka, king of the mauryan empire in india
Chandrgupta Murya

SO PUMPED for this movie. Napoleon was sooooo badass. Pissed all over the idea of divine right to rule that's why all the prissy kings of Europe DESPISED him. They hated the thought of kissing this lesser nobles ass. His men loved him so much even after blood curlingly horrifying retreat from Russia that made the Nazi retreat look like a game of tag. And a disastrous defeat at Leipzig being outnumbered like 3:1. They broke him out of Elba gave him ANOTHER army and rode for him again into Waterloo, again despite being hopelessly outnumbered facing the combined might of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and England etc. This is the type of dude that the Trumpers should be following.
Anyone but Brandon! 😂
Lmao retard they hated Napoleon evacuate he was conquering their countries.
France has the best winning percentage of wars, with a ton of wars won...
Napoleon is Dy-no- mite !!!
"I am more Champennois than Corsican because, since the age of 9, I have been raised in Brienne." Napoléon
Napoleon was not short. That was British propaganda. Napoleon also did not event the war state, that existed through-out different places in history. In fact, the middle class was born from it. The first known middle class were referred to as Yeoman in middle English. Bowman in modern English. Yes, the first poor to make the middle class were experts with Bow use and making in England. Especially the Welsh longbow.
The bowmen were so important to English history that even today, they do not flip the middle finger for an insult...its the insult invented during the 100 years war with France, by the bowmen who would flip their 2 bow fingers to the French as an insult letting them know that as long as they have the fingers to pull a string, they are going to keep killing them.
Anyway, a percentage of everything in England for around 400 years was always for the war efforts and the royalty practicly controlled all blacksmiths, leather-smiths, ship-wrights and other industries.
Great topics that make me click, horrible takes. Loud does not equal funny. Stick to your strong suit: NYC and black topics
"To be fair, he's italian. He's got that Roman blood."
Where does French come from? Is it the Romans?
Gauls beaten by Romans. Then Romans beaten by Franks. Then Franks beaten by English. Then English beaten by French. You know the rest.
I've studied Napoleon and don't usual comment on videos, but here's a bit of history in case anyone is interested:
Napoleon wasn't actually Italian he was Corsican (they're different). After France chose Napoleon as a leader (he was considered a native) he invaded his homeland Corsica and conjoined it into France. Italy was only put back into the mix much later after Napoleon was proven to be an astute general.
Also, Napoleon wasn't actually that short relative to his time. He was 5'6 which was considered the average height of the time, him being short was British propaganda (which was spread for nationalism encouragement). This is how the "Napoleon Complex" arose.
Napoleone Buonaparte is an Italian name no matter how you cut it. French was his third language, which he only learned at 10 years old.
@@Freakishd yep that's right. His senior ancestry line owned land in Florence & Livorno, which is where they adopted the name Buonaparte in the first place.
After Italy sold Corsica to the French (since they couldn't handle the upheaval caused by Paoli who was Corsica's elected representative), Napoleon's father was forced to abandon his Corsica ideals and adopt beliefs more suited towards the French (a decision Napoleon would later despise his father for).
However, during this time Napoleon was born along with his 12 other siblings. Since they no longer could keep their ancestral name they changed it to the far more French sounding name Bonaparte rather than the traditional Buonaparte (as you mentioned). This change was not only made to all their surnames but also to Napoleon's siblings first names (e.g. "Giuseppe Buonaparte", Napoleon's favorite brother, changed to "Joseph Bonaparte").
btw side note to your last point: He learned French by age 10 (started learning at age 7), and spoke it very brokenly. In fact, later on in his life a painter of his quoted that he had no clue how a general of his standing could speak with such a think accent (a trademark of his Corsican tongue). Luckily for him, standardized language hadn't been invented for the French so him having poor grammar didn't matter and he was still understood by the prefects.
@@Freakishdhe could never quite shake off his coraican accent which made others bully him when he was young
Greek city states for the most part all lived under Hellenistic culture
Ok so Napoleon didn't invent the total war thing. He took a Frankish tradition that dates back to the time of Charlemagne the Great and updated it for his time. The French always had a tradition of the entire society pitching in to the war effort.
Sounds like these boys found their first war encyclopaedia 😂👍 who doesn’t love a bit of history
Napoleon wasn't even short he was supposedly around 5'7
5'7 is short as hell dude
@@CR-og5ho that's avg height back then
Napoleon was 5ft8 which is 1 inch shorter than US 5ft9 mens hight. So 5ft8 would have been tall back then or at least average.
its funnier to say he was short
napoleon was 5ft6
Inches were bigger back then.
Wrong about the Greeks not seeing themselves as Greeks-but true it wasn't a nation in the modern sense. Even in ancient texts, historians refer to the peoples of that landmass as Hellenes; Persians even used generalisations for Athenians and Spartans, grouping them together as one people. It was in a similar way to how Italy was during the Renaissance. City states, but they still understood they were the same people.
One of these producers one day are going to think to give Andrew a political/history show. He is brilliant when it comes to history
Him talking with fun historians would actually be so fun. I feel like andrew can steer the convos to be entertaining and also siper interesting yk
Im extremely excited for this movie, my only concern is that 3 hours might not be enough.
You should start a channel and call it 'Flagrantly Wrong Hystory".
To be fair at One Moment In Time a white flag was France's national flag
so proud of andrew for saying city states, my man reading them history
I can forgive all the historical inaccuracies because of the enthusiasm.
Ghengis khan is better
Was Schulz a history major?
American's never cease to amaze me
Britain, Russia and Austria stop ta Napoleon .
pretty sure Napoleon was 510
Dude, this could be the best film in a VERY long time.
There are only 2 films I really want to see this year, Napoleon and Dune Part 2. Everything else may as well not exist.
Equaliser 3?
The country is war as Napoleon's invention? What about Sparta or Vikings
Hope the show how Haiti whooped napoleon azz in this movie would be epic
Corsica is still French lol
Chandragupta Maurya was a ruler of an Indian Empire also Ashoka so many empires in India
You're right that Napoleon had roman blood, but didn't have "Italian blood", Italian as we know them are a mixed race with very few roman blood.
this is a shot at steiny
I wish that Andrew would see Oppenheimer. I would love to hear his take.
Did he say "Tribes"??1:30
Conspiracy buff - you're thinking of Oliver Stone, wh fun fact directed Alexander the Great, Napoleon's idol
You know I don't like Napoleon I'm still going to watch the movie again because of so many good reviews
Ridley Scott & Joaquin Phoenix ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 $$$$$$$$$$$
You are kinda wrong on history....The Islamic/Arab empire beat the Persian and the Romans at the same time. The invintion of REAL cannons are the Ottmans empire when they took the most wanted city in the world C.
Guys please read, AndrewnRoberts Napoleon or watcj debate zamoyski vs Roberts about napoleon
If Napoleon was Italian he would have stayed at home with his mum... In battle history it goes France > UK > US
1:35 that's motherfuckers name was Ashoka the great😅
the lack of knowledge on Indian history is painful. Genghis khan and alexandre both couldnt capture India
The french always retreat. Do Americans even remember the only reason the US got its independence was because of the French?
Chandragupta Maurya is that Indian Emperor he's talking about in the start.
Cyrus Alexander's biggest idol...... Darius my guy🎉😂
Saying corse people are italien is crazy. Go tell that to them see if they agree 😂😂😂
tell them they're french and it will be worse
I know what you mean, but Corsican does sound pretty similar to Italian though, so I get why foreigners make this mistake. The funny thing I heard is that northern Corsican is closer to northern Italian while southern Corsican is closer to Sicilian.
@@RISKILNIKIV not true
@@MrRonantho well I think it is sir... Corsicans think they are corsicans and people are pretty afraid to contradict any of them...
I went to Sicily last year and literally every Sicilian I spoke to said bro we ain’t mainland Italians we are Sicilian
Corse is not italian
Corsica was Italian then bought by France just as Louisiana was sold by Napoleon to get rid of it
I think Cyrus died fighting Tomyris of Scythia
0:20 almost conquered Europe, not the world, Andrew 😂😂😂
Not really, if somehow Napoleon could have taken Britain they would have controlled all of the civilized world and an absolute majority of the worlds population
Europe had colonized the world back then, so conquering Europe meant world domination.
After Europe who was gonna stop Bonaparte from the rest of the cookies in the jar? The Ottomans? (Guess he could go back for seconds) The Colonies?😏
@@johnniiee146 exactly dude. No Americans around at the time to actually stop someone from doing that (they were around but essentially nothing compared to France or Britain)
learn histoty dude.
What did napoleon do the Alexandre Dumas
Gang-bang khan was pretty savage
"Now to be fair... he's Italian."
LMFAO
Napoleon was great great leader in this world ,he defended france and human right against european monarchy ,many country got rule from him even now in France.
I m french and very proud of him ....
Vive l empereur......
Alex is about to nap
Short guys really hate the thumbnail
Another part left out of history, which I wonder if it will be included in the movie, Haiti was the first country to defeat Napoléon
This conversation sounds like, let’s all quickly read lots Wikipedia the night before and talk about it all together to look like intellectuals … 😂 TH-cam intellectuals
Sparta???
Greeks, use this comment for the hate incoming... I'm Macedonian. Before you do, just know I like Greek culture and history, the whole story is more complicated than saying which person is which nationality in history. But please write the hate here, vent it out bros.
Aside from the use of massed artillery the way he did, Napoleon also invented the Corps system for his army, dropping the massive supply trains that used to follow armies and have smaller, more mobile and most importantly a lot faster smaller corps that would meet up with each other to form a larger army again. They lived off the land (which is a nice way of saying they pillaged) and had only the most necessary things with them needed for warfare. If a corps would meet an enemy their orders were to retreat and group up with other corps until superiority is reached. Each corps had infantry, skirmishers, cavalry, artillery, sappers etc. as opposed to sending 10.000 men on foot in a long ass column through the land with a baggage train of another 5000 people following them around and the cavarly is somewhere else entirely until they meet up at a location pre-determined. The Coalition adapted the corps system later on in the napoleonic wars and their strategy for the war was essentially: Don't fight Napoleon, fight his Marshals - if you find Napoleon, turn around.
Napoleon more or less reformed the "Army" into something similar we see today, WW1 reformed the company and the squad into smaller units of specialised soldiers (they had literally some guys with 20 grenades strapped to them and a pistol to clear trenches, there are photos of it, it looks absolutely insane) instead of having a squad of 30 riflemen and no grenades or machine guns, and WW2 reformed infantry tactics into the NCO system we have today (at least in the west).
Was Andrew talking about Oliver Stone at the end? and got it mixed with Oliver Stone
Actually Napoleon got his ass handed to him at Trafalgar, in the Peninsular Campaign, in Russia, and at Waterloo. Not a good record.
Napoleon fought all of europe and won 5 times, he also has the most victories and highest warscore of any general. He wasn't even leading Trafalgar or Waterloo
Nappy was in over all command. He lost at the Nile, he lost in the peninsula, he lost at trafagalgar,he lost in Russia, he was at Waterloo and lost. When he finally lost power the French Empire was almost lost. Louisiana was now American. Egypt was in the British sphere, India was in the British sphere. Haiti was gone. Napoleon may have been a good tactician but he was a moron when it came to strategy.
U@@jonathanthomas3868
@@jonsmith2061 He wasn't in trafalgar or the peninsula and he was constrained to France's resources and lack of navy, which this meant that he had to take risks such as in egypt where the French Navy was humiliated. Strategy allowed napoleon to beat the first 5 coaltions, and no matter what he did they weren't going to allow him to rule France
So@@jonathanthomas3868
Bro hasn’t gone to school in a while 😂 they didn’t wipe him out nor consider him a flook
French are the live version of an anecdote that ends with ".....and now you're called a sheepfu**er because you fu**ed a sheep once".
Some made a joke about them fleeing and it stuck.
Mark said, yeah, the sausage from Vienna, like they had global beef.
I like when yall get informative at times😊
Andrew get your history facts right .
The British make no bones about the fact that they really don't like Napoleon. Ironically, my interest in Napoleon was due to English speaking historians writing about Napoleon, since I don't read or speak French. So the persistent discussions surrounding him and his importance as a mover and shaker of world history, while evident and influential in how the world is shaped today, is all due to Anglo-American narrative histories of Napoleon. But at the end of the day, the majority of people will barely scrape the surface of Napoleonic history, because the Napoleonic Age simply isn't well represented in film, as opposed to WW2 in film or sword and sandals epics like Gladiator.
Napoleon was an admirer of Prophet Muhammad
The Mongols never really took India.
I thought the Turks first mastered cannon
Nice discussion
There have been more biographies written about Napoleon than any other person in history. Also, egyptology can be traced back to Napoleon's fascination with all things Egypt. Hope the movie's good but Ridley Scott's track record has been pretty dodgy the last 20 plus years.
Agree, Napoleon took historians and painters and a bunch of people to record what they saw there.
Also did you saw how Napoleon attacks the Pyramids in the movie that's complete BS.
@@elangelyt7738 Saw several historians watch the trailer and critique it and that seems to be the glaring accuracy problem. Most of them thought the movie looked good but one in particular really felt the movie looked ridiculous. Hope it's good but really wished Kubrick would have made his version with Nicholson as Napoleon in the early 70s. When Kubrick backed off because of Waterloo with Rod Stieger which I quite liked he made Clockwork so it wasn't all a loss.
I disagree with Ridley Scott's track record, The Last Duel was an excellent movie with great performances from Adam Driver and Matt Damon and the shorty that looks like Elsa from Frozen.
@@zachdirects I loved the duel at the end but imo the movie was just average. Think Affleck and Damon casting was a gimmick. What really pissed me off was that the Rashomon telling of the story. They were versions of all 3 characters truth. That the men's story of the events were labeled their truth but the female was labeled THE TRUTH was overtly feminist and completely threw me out of the film. It would have been far better to let the audience decide who was telling the truth and how much truth. This ending seemed very heavy handed. I've seen everything Scott's done and again imo he's been wildly up and down. For every Gladiator and Black Hawk Down there's The Counselor, Prometheus, Alien Covenant and Gucci. I see them all hoping for the best but he's lost his fastball. Still think no other director had a better first 3 films.The Duellists, Alien and Blade Runnner are all timers with BR being my all time favorite.
@@jeffreysmith694 100% with you there. I also don't like the emphasis on Napoleon lover when in fact the love of his life was Josephine, and barely had eyes for other women. That worries me, but I think will be a good movie.
As a kid I always thought it was total war
has the west Schulz ever heard of Genghis khan?
Andrew Shultz is very funny, but sometimes he talks too intelligently to be successful to Americans.
bs. maybe the comedy pop culture fans will be interested in researching the historical people and events his exposes them to.
THAT'S TY BURRELL IN THE THUMBNAIL
Napoleon killed millions, and he did not end the monarchy, he just put himself and his family in charge. He once had 20,000 Egyptian POWs slaughtered in a day, after negotiating their surrender for free transfer to Egyptian land.
Napoleons once told Metternich that he had "only" lost his 500,000 German soldiers in Russia, Metternich should not be angry because the French losses were minimal. Metternich had to explain to Napoleon that Austrians are Germans too.
Austrians aren't necessarily Germans. With the proclamation of the Austrian empire, it could have meant anyone from Central Europe (Croat, Czech, Hungarian etc) which was all under the Habsburg dynasty.
" He once had 20,000 Egyptian POWs slaughtered in a day, after negotiating their surrender for free transfer to Egyptian land."
That's peanuts compared to what the Romans did to Egypt.
they used a ruler 13 inches long so add an inch for every 1 foot.
Akaash with that “sure” lmfao
yeah... he was also a mental midjit
Qe Messi reaction? 😊
This is how I would make documentaries

Almost impossible to defeat a gorilla army. Just gonna need nukes for that shit.
In the end he was stopt in Europa belgium
I thought you said he got defeated by a gorilla 😂😂
Guerilla warfare dude. It changed the complete meaning of your point and makes it sound like Napolean lost to Harambe.
