Please do Battle of Wagram in the future Please! Love your Channel
Battle of Copenhagen (1807) as I believe it's closely connected to this battle
and the English attack in 1901 to force Denmark to end the armed neutrality, The Danish fleet were mildly put not ready for a fight, but were still able to beat off the English attack. But Lord Nelson stole the victory by tricking a weak and stupid Krown Prince.
Love you.
Napoleon had some amazing commanders leading his troops
Yep, one of his best characteristics was promoting the best commanders.
Yea, Napoleon had very good commanders, they are often forgotten because obviously Napoleon was ahead but they were truly amazing!
Volcanares His commanders, well, most of them were brilliant and capable in their own right. Unfortunately, they are easily overshadowed by their leader, and part of their success in war was that Napoleon could rely on his officers, and they on him. Not the same for their enemies, who rarely coordinated to any effect.
Dont forget Bernadotte who since he became king of sweden started a trend of being neutral and kept us out of wars for 200 years. but i guess some wars rly did need more help *cough* ww1 and 2 *cough* :(
The french army after the Revolution has also a great advantage over the coalitions : it's a real republican army where the officers are chosen on a purely meritocratic basis, even commoners could reach the highest positions (Lannes, Murat...).
When in other armies, only monarchs and aristocrats are commanders, not always selected on merit.
why am I rooting for Napoleon?! I'm not French, not even Europeans, but I'm still amazed by what he could accomplish against so many enemies
Star people like to side with winners
sciure sci technically he lost though, his empire lasted around 10 years and then He got crushed at Leipzig and when he made his comeback during the 'hundred days' he got crushed at Waterloo
Without Napoleon no Latin American countries would hAve gained independence so im rooting for Napoleon
It's true that few countries had the balls as France had in the revolution when the National assembly declared war to all of Europe to spread the revolution ! haha
Because he is amazing, being able to defeat the other european powers several times isn't something that normal people accomplish.
RuYNo53, yep the british never faced a coalition like France did, they also lost some wars like the American revolution and if you count english defeats you could had a lot more like the hundred years war
Some people don't realize that Napoleon's tactics are still being studied to this day. I like these videos. keep making them.
I have seen the curriculums of the military schools, it is amazing how many ancient battles they actually teach.
@@KingsandGenerals Can we also see these curriculums
3:05 oh no, you've intercepted our communicae, oh no. what a drag..
Yep, soooo bad. :-)
Haha, I love your videos, keep up the amazing work.
Will do! :-)
Sucks to be that messenger...
Napoleon must have watched Spartacus.
When you have commanders like Ney, Messenna, Lannes and Davout, battlefield belongs to you.
Davout is among the best
Ney is overrated
@@cheeminthao6535 you say that. He was second in command of the french army but was always given the hardest tasks. Many times he lost a battle because of disobedience of other generals{Oudinot at Dennewitz and Soult at Winterthur etc}
@@cheeminthao6535 Napoleon said of Ney that "there's a spot for someone like Ney in every army but only one spot." I think it classifies him perfectly. Ney was brave beyond belief and fast on the move but he was also too brave. This video here shows exactly why Napoleon appreciated Ney though.
Napoleon called Ney "the bravest of the brave".
I don't think he was overrated.
Hey, gals and guys! We are a bit salty, that our videos on the Napoleonic Wars are less popular than the others, so consider sharing this video to make us a little less salty. :-) Thanks for being with us in 2017 and we wish you the very best in 2018!
Kings and Generals They've been some of your best videos so far, so thank you for all the work that goes into making those!
if u dare stop before waterloo i will leave
Kings and Generals lol :D ❤
I don;t get it why napoleonic series isn't as popular as other videos. They are great!
I think you're overreacting, your 5th most popular video is Morengo and looking at view counts more generally Napoleon seems fine, it just seems that "muslim" videos are most popular.
I feel like Napoleon and Caesar are similar in the way that part of their immense success was that their lieutenants and soldiers were better than the ones of their opponents. Of course they were also brilliant themselves, but one brilliant general can't possibly win wars like these.
Exactly, they were promoting the very best. There are multiple accounts claiming that Napoleon even knew mere sergeants in some of his units.
Ward Huyskes caesar didnt conquer gaules with soldiers. in his book, gauls conquests, he said that he use young gaulics nobles to divide his ennemy.
Hannibal managed to beundefeated for at least 17 years
thats why the soldiers and officers were better because they made that happen
Napoleon was better than Caesar he created turmoil and defeated six coalitions even Caesar was a great commander but his enemies were foolish and undisciplined but Napoleon had stronger enemies compared to Caesar.
Pity Lannes died at such young age. Such a valuable general's loss was a serious blow to Napoleon.
Yep, that broke Napoleon's heart.
Unfortunatly he wasn't the only valuable general/marshal to die =(
El Bandito Campaign of 1809 was unfortunate. Not only Lannes, but also general Lasalle was killed (probably my favourite general of nap. wars). Head wound of general Dorsenne is also notable. Of course there were many other important casulties and I should not act like they didn't exist in every other war, but this was such a pity.
this is the 4th coalition, Lannes died after taking a canonball at the battle of Essling during the 5th coalition.
Was Lasalle the Hussar general that carried his pipe instead of a sword when leading charges? Which Napoleonic Marshalls/Commanders are which can get confusing sometimes...
Napoleon series is surprisingly the most interesting of the bunch
We think so, too. :-)
La période militaire la plus glorieuse de l'histoire que la terre ait connu est forcément intéressante.
At the very beggining I've said that you'll reach 30 000 subs 'till New Year.
Then I had to correct myself when I saw how rapidly you're growing - to 50 000.
Then to 70 000.
And finally I said you'll get 100 000 subs until this day.
And I was right!
Although after my 4th "prophecy"...
;-)
You have done a great job this year here on YT.
You have every reason to be proud.
And we are greateful.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
:D
Happy New Year, Veljko! Thank you very much!
I remember all of 4 of your previous comments, it was amazing to see the prediction got smashed time and time again.
That's a really sweet thing to say Veljk! I couldn't agree anymore
@@KingsandGenerals And then 2yrs after, you finally had more than 1 million subs.
@@KingsandGenerals And now you're over 2 million. You guys deserve all the subs. Both K&G and the Cold War Channel have excellent content.
That was a really a brilliant manuvers the french undertook.
Yep, Napoleon was in control at all times.
did he purposly get that messanger caught to spread false info causing the russians to run. I belive so
Yep. And all because in the previous campaigns the real messengers were caught by the Russians and Bennigsen acted upon it, so they knew that this trick may work out.
Sun Tzu would be very proud
The battalion carrie system napoleon used allowed multiple corps to support each other while one corps bogged down the main enemy force, holding off gor the arrival of the other corps.
What I find facinating about napoleon is how not only he changed european history, but also in the americas. Because of him, Spain and Portugal lost their colonies. Basically, all latin america declared independency.
Yep, and we are going to cover it. :-)
Emperor Palpitoad I don't know. Possibly, as france tried to invade Mexico in the 19th century...And the british empire would have been much smaller, since they grew after defeating napoleon and not being destroyed like the other european countries.
I think that the most interesting question is what would have happened to Germany if Napoleon had had won the war? Cause weak prussian means no germany, and no germany means no franco-prussian war. And then wwi and wwii.
Kings and Generals Thank you! Yeeei, my country Brazil will be mentioned in this channel! Please, consider explaining how the portuguese royal family had to flee to brazil.
That will happen in our videos on the Peninsular War, probably. :-)
Emperor Palpitoad yes, but if Napoleon had won, the german states would have been under french influence. Not under prussian unification.
Another noticeable jump in quality. More detailed corps movement, more flexible unit displays during battles, ever improving maps... great way to close the year!
Thank you, we are doing our best. :-)
Richardsen totally agree with you!
6:24 Russian: "we're f*cked, The Man is here"
Pretty much!
everyone gansta until l'empereur arrives
Damn, Napoleon had a plethora of MVP generals fighting for him. I mean facing 60k with 15 thousand like it's nothing. Shout out to my man Bagration as well.
Bagration will prove himself in the future. :-)
Bagration was a "student" of Alexander Suvorov. Try to research that guy. He was a magician on the battlefield. One example: taking Izmail, a state of the art fortress with 35 thousand turks, using 31 thousand of his own troops in 2 and half hours, killing 26 thousand and losing 4 thousand.
Not related to Napoleon, but Genghis Khan also has a plethora of brilliant generals and military commanders at his disposal.
When Nappy conquered almost all of Europe, Genghis conquered almost all of mainland Asia. I wonder what would happen if these two great emperors will have a showdown in some random parallel world, where in both sides are equal in numbers, war materials, and logistics...?
From Marengo to Waterloo, I hope you guys to show every significant battles of Napoleonic Wars.
I am reading a lot about Napoleon lately, and these detailed descriptions of battles are of great use in usderstanding of that ~20 year period when a Corsican serving to France stormed through all of Europe and Mediterranian and than made France and a big portion of Europe serve him.
The same goes for every other series of yours.
Great work!
Thank you very much! We are planning to show every noteworthy battle. :-)
Thanks bro, wonderfully done! :)
Thank you! :-)
Shahanshah of Persia

Wonderful video, really appreciate the effort that went into these videos, they're fantastic.

Brilliantly done. My favourite series on TH-cam. Keep up the fantastic work!

that moment when you got 800 men and another 500 under lannes you and must defeat 2300 russians in ntw for friedland scenario
Yeah, NTW dropped the ball on that one. The French had 70-80 thousand against 60-65 thousand Russians.

@@user-dm9ud9fd5l those pesky roaches did nothing. Russians and Prussians suffered a lot. Till this vedio there is no sign of these creatures in war.
I would have loved to meet all thoses french commanders Ney, Davout, Soult, Bernadotte, Massena, Murat, Lannes, Mortier #Legends
Yep, that is one good list. :-)
Legit video,love Napoleon thanks
Thank you!
A great video like always
Thank you very much!
Whoever and wherever you are, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your loved ones.
Same here, have a great 2018! :-)
Napoleon was really a genius
He was in control all the way. :-)
Another amazing video on amazing battle
Thank you very much! :-)
perfect content as always !
Thank you very much! :-)
impressive how France could after cruel time of french revolution still drive such warfare. What remaind from that time was the metric system on continental Europe and increasing nationalism. The source for more wars to come.
Nationalism is also the reason of why Germany and Italy are rich today...
Because they unified them.
Congratulations for 100.000 subs!
Best gift for Christmas XD
Also have a wonderful new year everyone!
Very nice vid btw
Thank you! Happy new year!
Nice video as always!!!
Thank you! :-)
Wow oh how I love these Videos. Great job guys, Bravo!
Thank you! More on the way! :-)
Vive la France !
Thanks for this amazing work.
Thank you for watching! :-)
NAPOLEON= GENIUS

Kings and Generals thanks for your videos and happy new year

I love your videos! This one was one of my favorites!
Thank you very much! :-)
Great videos man! Always a good day when you put one out!
Thank you very much! :-) More on the way!
Trust me this is most interesting series so far
My favorite history figures was
1)Julius Ceaser
2)Napolen
3)Erwin Rommel
4)Charles XII
......etc
Looking for more series like this
Maybe Ceaser
I'd like to see Eastern battles like any battle in China's history.
i just want entire history of the world to be told like this .. imagine possibilities ..
More on the way! :-)
Timur !
m m You are sick Nazist lover.
Must say that the Marshals of napoleon's army deserve due credit.
True, meritocracy of that kind works.
Your channel is AWESOME!Napoleon and his army are badasses)
Greatly accurate bro, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for video i love history
Thanks for watching!
Happy new Year! Greetings from the Philippines!!
To think there is another Filipino here. Sup!
John Carlo Abella happy new year to yah! Well I'm a History nerd 😂
Well, i'm not a nerd but I like history! Malapit na mag new year (It's almost new year)
John Carlo Abella wish you all the best in 2018 brother!
Yes brother may we all wish the best in 2018. Can't believe that our aral-pan and Hekasi subject is not interesting because the teachers are not explaining it very well.
Wow that was brilliant, I literally liked it more than most the films I’ve watched
So happy to hear that! :-)
This is one of my favourite channels on TH-cam 😄
Mine, too. 😇
I love this part of the story especially that in Poland where I live :)
Yep, the Poles were important for Napoleon's army.
they were so important that he after used them he took Prussian credits as his own today know as "Bayone amount"
YES! Lets welcome the 2018 with another victory of Napoleon!
Happy New Year!
This Animation is absolutely phenomenal!
Thanks! :-)
I enjoyed this. Ty
Thank you for watching! :-)
Does anyone still remember when this channel hat 3000 subs?
I do! :-)
Gyrosmeister TV I remember somewhat 20000 if I am correct
It is really amazing to see the complexity and agility of Napoleans battlefield manuevers. It almost looks like a game of chess or go.
As always, your video are the greatest
Thank you! :-)
These videos are great! Keep up the good work, guys
Thank you for watching :)
