I used to have a large snail as pet; his name was Napoleon. He used to eat one to two leaves of cabbage each day, and some strawberries sometimes. Good days.
@@beyondblesscrissy4063 Actually the paintings are very accurate and much better than the extra poor quality early photographs. For propaganda reasons, the paintings always had him on a horse, or something, that sort of made him seem taller. By the time he would have been photographed, he would have been very elderly.
@@SmartassX1 he didn't need help to seem taller, he was slightly above average height for the time. the commonly believed myth of him being short is due to the fact that the French used a different measurement system (their inches were longer) and using that system he was 5 ft 2, so people assume he was short not realizing that if you translate that to imperial units he was 5 ft 7.
*He convinced the army sent to kill him to join his side, and retook Paris* Love the matter of fact way he explains one the most badass moments in history
@A Handsome Fella no it would be pretty straightforward. They have a declining population, a third world economy, and an incredibly weak military, so if they got involved in a large-scale war against a major power they would basically have no choice but to immediately resort to nuclear weapons. The alternative is that all of Russia would fall within six months to a year.
"Napoleon has a complex history" Touche sir. Does anyone else find it weird how we refer to every other Historical figure by their surname or full name.. but Napoleon is referred to almost entirely with his first name?
That’s because as an emperor he was called Napoleon I. Do the brits call their Queen Elisabeth of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ? Or Elisabeth of Windsor ? Guess having a crown gets you the right to choose how you want to be called.
Napoleon was so infinitely greedy and narcissistic, he'd have eventually made a mistake turning the bankers against his imperial coat. Without the consent of Benjamin Délessert, Guillaume Mallet, Jean Frédéric Perrégaux and Jean Barthélemy, he couldn't even move a thumb. A conqueror needs huge funds in attempt to centralize vast political entities. Until his first exile, this team of swiss bankers helped Napoleon as he rewarded them with the incomparable privileges offered by the creation of the "Banque de France". Note that Napoleon was the mere shadow of himself during the hundred days: without any financial backbone, he became a standard military leader aided only by a handful of fidels.
***** Napoleon had a reputation of invincibility before the Berezina battle, and from the moment he had taken on this setback, it was the start of his fall as an eminent military figure. That's the ransom of glory. Besides, the same dynamic occured more than one century later with the nazis' rout at Stalingrad. Rekindled by this consideration and lead by brilliant characters like the general Arthur Wellesley of Wellington, the coalition was able to get rid of Napoleon for good. The emperor was returned his own medicine: many of his officers had been corrupted. This kind of sabotage takes down anyone, no matter the skills. Even with a draw or a victory à la Pyrrhus, it's likely the empire wouldn't have lasted long. Oddly enough, the stock market of London was convinced of Napoleon's victory, due to the weak circulation of information at the era. That's how the patriarch of the Rothschild family had become insanely rich, as everyone sold shares for a vile price to take shelter! These imbeciles were very little aware of the proceedings of a war, but once again the very rich are like that: visceral cowards who agree to send the poor to sure death but fear when it could potentially backfire.
"He was sent into exile. He became Emperor of Elba, a tiny little island next to Italy... he grew bored *_and literally escaped."_* Damn my dude Napoleon was wildin' back then, what a mad lad lmao.

Mass rioting, wild dogs, severe poverty and hunger immediately in America, Looting, abject poverty, even more instability in the Middle East so on so forth.
In 1808, as a consequence of Napoleon invansion of Portugal, the royal family fled to Brazil. Without this, they would just stay home. It is often said that Brazil´s territorial integrity comes from the fact above. So, without Napoleon, Portugal´s former colony in South America woul be pretty much like former Spanish colonies: a bunch of smaller countries all speaking Portuguese.
As a Brazilian I can say that first, you wouldn't have favelas in Rio de Janeiro, second at the time we were on the gold cycle, so Yes we would still expand to the west for more gold, without Napoleon embargo of Europe to England, the English wouldn't need the New World to abolish slavery so soon because they would have a market for their Industrial Textiles, so many things could spiral from here, the next product from Brazil at the time was coffee, but without the Portuguese monarchy moving here to escape revolting Europe a bigger revolution could have happened, and different from most of the other countries in South America the Brazilian unit was formed during the gold cycle, we could have become more by cutting ties with Portugal after the gold, thanks to the administrative investments that the monarchy needed to do for the gold extraction, now a days from the region of the minas gerais we extract Iron, and other minerals, without the crown moving the center of Portuguese Empire to Rio.
@super natural Holy shit you look too far into it, please atop making us right wingers look like complete nutters who think everyone else is out to get us.
It wasn't because he invaded Russia during winter, he invaded Russia during mud season and got his invasion slowed to a crawl so he was completely fucked
Napoleon when exiled to Elba: "You... should've gone for the head. *returns to France*" Napoleon at Waterloo: "I am... inevitable. *tries to make France an empire again*" Provisional French Government: "And I... Am... France. *makes Napoleon abdicate, Britain exiles him to St. Helena*"
The provisional government wasn't the ones who made him abdicate, they took control of the government after Napoleon's abdication. The allies who masked themselves as only "removing Napoleon" continue the war anyways...
Those people saying french always lose... It took 6 coalitions composed of basically the entire western world to take out Napoleon's France. Has Grrat-Britain ever been at war against so many ennemies? I don't think so
KingKayden21 Oh yeah I guess you can be a winner forever. Of course in the end you lose. But when you have been the chestmaster of Europe's map for many wars you have won more than you have lost.
***** Well those wars have had impacts ever since. Napoleon dismantled many of Europes empires in smaller empires which never gained their full streanght again afterwards. Changed the face of the world forever. And please accept the fact that Napoleon Bonapart is one of the greatest military strategist there ever was. Alongside with alexander the great, Genghis Khan and Julius ceasar.
Pffft. When did we EVER lose against the French? You have to go back to 1066. And even then, the Normans were about as French as the Vikings. And besides, yes there was a time when we were at war with basically the entire western world and we never cracked. In 1940, the only nation actively fighting the Nazis was the UK and its empire. Everybody else was either neutral, Nazi, Nazi-allied or Nazi-occupied.

I agree with you, if nappy haven't betrayed Spain all of Europe could have crushed the little insect called britannia and instore a real balance of powers in the world
It was the scorch earth tactic that killed the most, actually, long before winter even came. A winter that equally killed the French _and_ Russian troops, primarily due to disease and cold, but mainly because it was a particularly harsh one, even by russian standards. All of those soldiers had winter clothing by the way.
@@mattp714 Sounds like an urban legend. From Wikipedia: "Laboratory tests provide evidence that the time required for unalloyed tin to develop significant tin pest damage at lowered temperatures is about 18 months, which is more than twice the length of the invasion."
Not only disease and cold. A lot of people forget that he invaded in June, and Russian HEAT killed a lot of people before they reach Moscow, along with disease killed most men. And there were also bloody battles at the begining of the invasion, the Russian army was extremely large too. Then, when retreating to Poland, it was winter, disease, starvation and the Russian cavalry harassing their back killed a lot of men. He had 600,000 men when invading, 150,000 when reaching Moscow and 50,000 when reaching Poland.

ShadowClaw98100 that s because Britain became a Franco Norman colony and your aristocracy is still Franco Norman. But you're not allowed turn you ire on your aristocracy. So you turn it on where they came from.
No, our aristocracy *was* Franco-Norman. That altered dramatically with Henry Tudor who had Welsh-Flanders blood. At this point it has long been Anglo-German...mostly German. They only changed the name to "Windsor" during WWI because "Saxe Coburg and Gotha" sounded far too "Germanic" during a total war against Germany. The France-England thing is deeper than how you describe although I'll be damned if I could put it easily into words. Each nation had much the other wanted, and no matter how much political or military conflict occurred between the nations there was always this grudging admiration and respect for one another's abilities. Even Napoleon acknowledged a singular respect for his foes in Westminster. As for turning ire on the monarchy, Britons have made it something of a historical pastime. Having murdered, deposed, overthrown, revolted against and executed various monarchs through time, even a cursory glance through British history shows that they are fair game for the people's anger. Even Queen Victoria, that most celebrated of all British monarchs survived 8 assassination attempts and at least one direct assault by a mob.
Without our best ennemies Napoléon would just have kept ruling. The spanish guerilla war and german revolts would have weakened the empire into dissolving somewhat and focus on France again.
WHAT, I come home from my class after giving a lecture about Napoleon and look at the Internet and this video went up, How long have you been stalking me?
It was a close call that Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo, but he would have probably been defeated a few months/years later. At this point basically the whole world wanted him gone (and it took 6 coalitions lol). If the whole Russian debacle was avoided i can see his empire being stable for a bit longer but not for so long. An empire expanding so fast on different countries and cultures and relying on one man is doomed to fall whenever a weakness appears.
Poland would have likely be a strong ally anchoring France in the east. He didn't to annex the poles but rather have them as partner against Russia, Prussia, and Austria.
I think it could also be argued that the US would have lost the War of 1812 if Napoleon had not come into power. This is because Napoleon's actions in Europe kept most of Britain's military busy and Britain was not able to fully invest in the war in America until after Napoleon's defeat, leading to an American victory. However, if the British had been able to focus everything on America from the beginning, things may have turned out much differently
I agree with everything you said except, "leading to an American victory". Nobody won the war, it was a White Peace, but America definitely lost. To quote Andrew Lambert in his book 'The Challenge: Britain against America in the Naval War of 1812': "Eighty years later, a great American historian [Theodore Roosevelt I believe] gently reminded his fellow citizens that the War of 1812 had been a disaster; after a litany of deafeats all along the Canadian border, the capture and destruction of Washington, bankruptcy and the loss of several warships, including the national flagship; the peace settlement had been a fortunate escape... ...invading American armies were repulsed by a handful of British regulars, Canadian militia and their Indian allies. In fact the only battles the Americans won in 1812 were at sea, despite the [Democratic-]Republican administration effectively ignoring the Navy. In three frigate actions that year substantially larger American ships captured smaller, less powerful British opponents. Desperate for good news to bolster their flagging grip on political power, the [Democratic-]Republican Party latched on to the sea of glory, claiming these victories had been won in fair and equal combat, and linked the claim that the war had been declared as a response to British treatment of American ships and sailors... ...Although the war would drag on until the end of 1814, its outcome was decided by the failure of the American army to conquer Canada, the defeat of American attacks on British merchant shipping and a devastating British economic blockade that left America bankrupt and insolvent. In case anyone in America had missed the utter helplessness of their government, 4,000 British troops captured and burned Washington DC. The Presidential mansion, where the decision for war had been taken, was one of the public buildings to be torched. In the rebuild it acquired a coat of whitewash. The idea that the British 'lost' the war - in which they secured their aims by compelling the Americans to stop invading Canada, destroyed their capital city and reduced them to insolvency in the process - is one that requires explanation."
Britain achieved their objectives in the war of 1812 while the US failed to fulfill any of theirs. The US east coast was blockaded at will by the Royal Navy, the US was pushed out of Canada and rushed to sign a treaty that didn’t restrict the Royal Navy’s RIGHT to recover deserters from American ships which was apparently the reason the US declared war in the first place. So explain to me how the US won ?
Napoleon was Corsican who lead a revolution in a country he was not from. Hitler was Austrian who lead revolution in a country he was not from. Stalin was Georgian who lead a revolution in a country he was not from. Che Guevara was Argentinian who lead a revolution in a country he was not from. History is really ironic and redundant. XD
+Lieutenant Yoshi Shame on you, you looked this video ? Compare Napoleon with these two fucking monsters.... And Napoleon was born french, he is born in 1769 and Corsica was french since 1768... American educational is terrible...
Napoleon offered a twelve thousand Franc reward to the first person who could successfully preserved food. The reward money motivated Nicolas Appert, a French pastry chef, to work on the problem. Eventually, after experimentation, he discovered the right methodology for preserving food, the canning process in glass jars, which housewives still employ to this day. This led to mechanized preservation of foods in cans and also led to Louis Pasture's pasteurization process. If Napoleon had not been the king of France, it may have taken another hundred years for the world to learn how to preserve food. This would have caused a major delayed in the modern age's progression.
Revolution Time: Come On Grab Your Swords We'll Go To Very Distant Doors With Jake The Dog And Finn The Human The Fight Will Never End Its Revolution Time!
You can’t argue that Napoleon just wanted power to himself. Don’t forget that France was the victim of various coalitions that attempted to destroy the ideas of the French Revolution, which is the very thing the French fought so hard for. They needed someone to lead them, to defend France, and defeat the enemy. And the person was Napoleon. To the French, he was a hero. Just look at the Hundred Days. The King sent an army to arrest Napoleon when he returned to Elba. Instead the army turned to his side after he used his charisma to remind them of one thing: Their Emperor was back. It was time to make France great again.
@Orville Alexander and you can't compare napoleon with trump because napoleon IS GREAT and trump isn't also trump is not a military genius like napoleon
@Orville Alexander Damn bro you're really far gone from reality. 1) All Trump does is lie. The count of his lies is heavy in the 5 figures. He literally can't speak once without saying something misleading or outright false, claiming "I never said that" when someone calls him on his shit. Politicians lying is nothing new under the sun, but at least most politicians try and cover their snakery and do so semi-adequately; Trump does his snakery loud, proud, and in broad daylight, and the brainless gobble it up. 2) Both establishment Democrats and all Republicans in Washington love war, it's what their donors and the military industrial complex want. If you're referencing leftists dismay to Trump abandoning our allies, the Kurds, left to be genocided by ISIS and the Turks, that is in no way the same thing as our desire to end the Forever Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to end our toppling of democratically elected leaders and funding of far right terror organizations abroad. If you think Obama was a war hawk (which he was, don't get it twisted), keep in mind that Trump dropped more bombs on the Middle East in his first year as president than Obama did his whole 4 years. The steady flow of innocent civilians and American soldiers massacred pointlessly has only grown to a torrent under Trump--there's a reason that 60%+ of American soldiers (and even MORE generals) despise Trump. 3) Leftists don't hate small business owners of any race, they only hate large businesses. You may whine, "WhAt aBOuT BLm?!?!?" but the FACTS show that 93% of BLM protests have been *completely* peaceful. Even Portland, supposedly fallen to chaos and bloodbath, only had riots the first night of protests, with the protestors dealing with their own bad eggs shortly. The mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon told Trump, "hey, we're all good," and the authoritarian retard STILL sent militarized police, who, as they have done across the country, agitated protests. Agent provocateurs have ensured that every intention of keeping protests peaceful is ruined by cops desperate to try out their new militarized toys. 4) Biden has an average of a 10% lead in battleground states lmaooo "landslide" sure buddy, cope harder. 5) There has been zero evidence of the supposed fraudulent nature of mail-in ballots, but buy whatever unsubstantiated narratives you want I guess. TLDR: Dumbass bootlicker BTFO'd with the FACTS 😘

Hey Cody, huge fan, love your analytical outlook on history and its affect on the world today. Your video on Napoleon is one of my personal favorites, especially for it's in-depth look on how politics not only in Europe would change, but around the world as well. I've been subscribed to you for a few years now and I must say, this is hands down my favorite channel on TH-cam. That being the case, I would like to see your take on a few scenarios if you find them video worthy: 1. What if the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War/ What if China was never communist? 2. What if Israel was never established? (1948) 3. What if George Washington was never President? 4. What if the Irish never gained their independence? 5. What if Russia never colonized/took over Siberia? I hope some of these scenarios catch your attention. As time goes on I will continue to contribute ideas as more come to mind. Have a good one Cody!
You know, as a Spaniard I would have sided with the French. At that time Spain's population was divided in two sides; Patriots and "afrancesados" or "Frenchized". And even among the Patriots there was infighting between absolutists and liberals. It was a clusterfuck; Spain's first constitution was written in Cadiz as it was being assaulted by France's forces, with only Wellington and a the local resistance keeping them at bay. That's how chaotic things were.
For the good of Spain, they should have accept Napoléon's brother as the spanish king. Their empire would still be there, Spain would have been modernized like France and together, with the military power of France and the giant empire of Spain, it would have been unstoppable.
I remembered watching this 5 years. It was so exciting for me and felt so fresh, and I watched it the instant it came out. Thank you so much for having contributed to my love of history since the beginning. You have done far more than any classroom teacher ever could.
Napoleon should have just let Russia breach agreements? British empire was getting into some serious debt due to continental embargo, and suddenly this blessing, in terms of Russia starting trading with them again. Napoleon should have just let it slide? P.S. If he wanted to overthrow government in Russia, he would go for capital, not doing what he did.
You forgot to mention the followings: Without Napoleon, Denmark wouldn't join the French side during the Napoleonic wars. And without that war, Denmark would keep Norway, at least for a bit longer. Also one of Napoleon's generals, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, became Swedish and Norwegian crown prince, and later king under the name Karl Johan. Without him, it changes the history of Scandinavias monarchs, especially the Swedish royal house, which is known as the House of Bernadotte.
This would be an addition,to your theory: If Napoleon Bonaparte never rose to power in France, that would go the same for Hitler and Germany. Hitler wouldn't be inspired by him and might not wish to be a political figure. Nazis would never exist, the Weimar Republic continues, Fascist Italy wouldn't have the strength, confidence and enough allies to declare war on Britain and France, Prime Minister Chamberlain would remain in power, Imperial Japan may or may not still declare war on the United States and the colonial rulers in Asia since the European rulers haven't been conquered and the Soviet Union would have no delay in war since the Nazis aren't there to cause trouble. Basically, World War 2 will be a separate set of wars between Europe vs USSR, US vs Japan.
Britain might have held on to her colonies for longer, but depending on the borders and circumstances of german and italian unification and post-revolutionary France, Britain could have lost a large scale conflict with continental europe, instead of winning two times. It seems rather likely that Britain and the US would not have played the same role in history as they did in our timeline. Without a strong US to supply Britain and get rich in the process, a alternate-timeline-WWI would probably have ended differently. Let's say for example that Germany would have united more slowly, with loose cooperation between Austria-Hungary and Prussia at first and had consolidated over time. With a weakend France, the BeNeLux region would likely have been part of this German confederation and this giant of industial production (rhineland and BeNeLux) could have easily rivaled the industrial revolution in England. Making this HRE 2.0 the strongest military power in the world. --> Britain weaker Or, since revolutionaries all across europe didn't have to choose between imperialistic napolionic France and the old order, revolutions and seperatist movements might have started everywhere. Britain beeing moderatly effected because of animosity between Britains subjects. --> Britain about the same Or the coalitions against revolutionary france may have succeded and crushed the revolution. Britain probably would have seen territorial gain from the peace and lacking early german unification, Britain might have become the dominant power in all of europe. --> Britain stronger The only real constant is that the USA would not have played a significant part on the world stage as early as it did and probably would have never become a military superpower.
there would most probably be a great war. in our timeline, we had 3: the Napoleonic wars, the great war and WW2. the tensions that caused WW1 existed even during Napoleons time. this was the cause of Austria's inability to fight Napoleon, as the Slavic majority were very unkeen on fighting Napoleon, who was much closer to them (being a non-Habsburger) than the 5 nippled Habsburgs that ruled the conquered land they came from. tensions between the Germanics and their Slavic and Romance counterparts would most definitely have occurred no matter what. just as in our timeline, with WW1. Italy was very keen on destroying Austria. so was Russia and Serbia. and then you had about 80% of the population itself not being of Austrian Germanic decent. while the nation was ruled by only the Austrian Germanics. these tensions wouldn't have been lower, as Napoleon forced the Habsburgs to loosen their grip on their minorities. thanks to Napoleon, Slavic languages were no longer illegal to speak openly anymore.
One critical change completely missed: the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Britain completely crushed the French and Spanish fleets, giving them free reign over the seas, and the ability to expand and strengthen the empire globally to its full -and pretty terrifying - extent. Without that battle, Britain would have had to fight piecemeal against French and Spanish colonial forces. If Spain had retained its colonies, that might have proven more difficult. Also, the war of 1812. That war was mostly spurred by Britain being busy fighting France and using dirty tactics to acquire resources for that war. It was also not won by Britain and Canada (not really lost either, but definitely not won) partially because forces were split. If the French were busy killing each other, and the Spaniards possibly fighting the Americans, then Canada would not have been invaded, but the Loyalists who lived in Canada might have persuaded Britain to have another crack at the US while they were busy fighting Spain. Who knows, maybe the US would not exist at all?
If Napoleon never came to power, nationalism, which was born in France, couldn't have spread throughout Europe, so Europeans would still think of allegiance to a sovereign monarch instead of allegiance to a homeland. Consequently, if such an infesting idea (nationalism) didn't spread in Europe, then it will also not spread on European colonies throughout the world. The reason why Europeans managed to control most of the world was because every people they found were divided--there were no nation-states, just tribes. In the 20th century when nationalism was quite entrenched throughout the globe, it became hard for the Europeans to keep their colonies because the peoples they ruled then became united--national revolutions were harder to stop than mere revolts by individual groups of divided peoples. So the bottom line is, if it wasn't for Napoleon, nationalism couldn't have spread through Europe and their colonies. Europeans didn't have to face a united national effort among the peoples they ruled. Europeans would still be in control of most of the world to this day. There would still be empires.
In Poland he's considered the liberator. Almost a national hero hadn't it been for him being in service of France and not Poland, but he helped so much that historically we love him as the best thing that ever happened to modern Europe.

I guess the safest answer for Napoleon's legacy (although I am a big fan) is that, he was "necessary" for France at the time, and possibly for Europe as a whole, he did introduce a certain stability to the region for a while. I'd imagine the Coalition people would have been at each other's throat across the entire landmass sans Napoleon

That’s because as an emperor he was called Napoleon I. Do the brits call their Queen Elisabeth of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ? Or Elisabeth of Windsor ? Guess having a crown gets you the right to choose how you want to be called.

Could we have a "what if Napoleon had succeeded" video?
Napoleon was so infinitely greedy and narcissistic, he'd have eventually made a mistake turning the bankers against his imperial coat. Without the consent of Benjamin Délessert, Guillaume Mallet, Jean Frédéric Perrégaux and Jean Barthélemy, he couldn't even move a thumb. A conqueror needs huge funds in attempt to centralize vast political entities. Until his first exile, this team of swiss bankers helped Napoleon as he rewarded them with the incomparable privileges offered by the creation of the "Banque de France". Note that Napoleon was the mere shadow of himself during the hundred days: without any financial backbone, he became a standard military leader aided only by a handful of fidels.

Quirinus Quirel That sounds cool, I'll look it up. That said, I'd still like to see something like that on this channel.
+Ziusudra I mean, he could have certainly beat the coalition at Waterloo. As far as *maintaining* and empire, I agree.
*****
Napoleon had a reputation of invincibility before the Berezina battle, and from the moment he had taken on this setback, it was the start of his fall as an eminent military figure. That's the ransom of glory. Besides, the same dynamic occured more than one century later with the nazis' rout at Stalingrad. Rekindled by this consideration and lead by brilliant characters like the general Arthur Wellesley of Wellington, the coalition was able to get rid of Napoleon for good. The emperor was returned his own medicine: many of his officers had been corrupted. This kind of sabotage takes down anyone, no matter the skills. Even with a draw or a victory à la Pyrrhus, it's likely the empire wouldn't have lasted long.
Oddly enough, the stock market of London was convinced of Napoleon's victory, due to the weak circulation of information at the era. That's how the patriarch of the Rothschild family had become insanely rich, as everyone sold shares for a vile price to take shelter! These imbeciles were very little aware of the proceedings of a war, but once again the very rich are like that: visceral cowards who agree to send the poor to sure death but fear when it could potentially backfire.

In 1808, as a consequence of Napoleon invansion of Portugal, the royal family fled to Brazil. Without this, they would just stay home.
It is often said that Brazil´s territorial integrity comes from the fact above. So, without Napoleon, Portugal´s former colony in South America woul be pretty much like former Spanish colonies: a bunch of smaller countries all speaking Portuguese.
Interesting.
As a Brazilian I can say that first, you wouldn't have favelas in Rio de Janeiro, second at the time we were on the gold cycle, so Yes we would still expand to the west for more gold, without Napoleon embargo of Europe to England, the English wouldn't need the New World to abolish slavery so soon because they would have a market for their Industrial Textiles, so many things could spiral from here, the next product from Brazil at the time was coffee, but without the Portuguese monarchy moving here to escape revolting Europe a bigger revolution could have happened, and different from most of the other countries in South America the Brazilian unit was formed during the gold cycle, we could have become more by cutting ties with Portugal after the gold, thanks to the administrative investments that the monarchy needed to do for the gold extraction, now a days from the region of the minas gerais we extract Iron, and other minerals, without the crown moving the center of Portuguese Empire to Rio.

Those people saying french always lose... It took 6 coalitions composed of basically the entire western world to take out Napoleon's France. Has Grrat-Britain ever been at war against so many ennemies? I don't think so
KingKayden21 Oh yeah I guess you can be a winner forever. Of course in the end you lose. But when you have been the chestmaster of Europe's map for many wars you have won more than you have lost.
***** Well those wars have had impacts ever since. Napoleon dismantled many of Europes empires in smaller empires which never gained their full streanght again afterwards. Changed the face of the world forever. And please accept the fact that Napoleon Bonapart is one of the greatest military strategist there ever was. Alongside with alexander the great, Genghis Khan and Julius ceasar.
Pffft. When did we EVER lose against the French? You have to go back to 1066. And even then, the Normans were about as French as the Vikings. And besides, yes there was a time when we were at war with basically the entire western world and we never cracked. In 1940, the only nation actively fighting the Nazis was the UK and its empire. Everybody else was either neutral, Nazi, Nazi-allied or Nazi-occupied.

10:30 It was disease, not just the cold, that decimated Napoleon's armies in the Russian campaign.
It was the scorch earth tactic that killed the most, actually, long before winter even came. A winter that equally killed the French _and_ Russian troops, primarily due to disease and cold, but mainly because it was a particularly harsh one, even by russian standards. All of those soldiers had winter clothing by the way.
@@mattp714 Sounds like an urban legend.
From Wikipedia: "Laboratory tests provide evidence that the time required for unalloyed tin to develop significant tin pest damage at lowered temperatures is about 18 months, which is more than twice the length of the invasion."
More soldiers died on the summer advance than they did from the winter retreat
Very true his army of 600,000 got decimated by disease and only had about 150,000 when winter came
Not only disease and cold. A lot of people forget that he invaded in June, and Russian HEAT killed a lot of people before they reach Moscow, along with disease killed most men. And there were also bloody battles at the begining of the invasion, the Russian army was extremely large too.
Then, when retreating to Poland, it was winter, disease, starvation and the Russian cavalry harassing their back killed a lot of men.
He had 600,000 men when invading, 150,000 when reaching Moscow and 50,000 when reaching Poland.

As a Brit I can confirm the France and Britain frenemy thing is entirely correct
ShadowClaw98100 that s because Britain became a Franco Norman colony and your aristocracy is still Franco Norman. But you're not allowed turn you ire on your aristocracy. So you turn it on where they came from.
No, our aristocracy *was* Franco-Norman. That altered dramatically with Henry Tudor who had Welsh-Flanders blood.
At this point it has long been Anglo-German...mostly German. They only changed the name to "Windsor" during WWI because "Saxe Coburg and Gotha" sounded far too "Germanic" during a total war against Germany.
The France-England thing is deeper than how you describe although I'll be damned if I could put it easily into words. Each nation had much the other wanted, and no matter how much political or military conflict occurred between the nations there was always this grudging admiration and respect for one another's abilities. Even Napoleon acknowledged a singular respect for his foes in Westminster.
As for turning ire on the monarchy, Britons have made it something of a historical pastime. Having murdered, deposed, overthrown, revolted against and executed various monarchs through time, even a cursory glance through British history shows that they are fair game for the people's anger. Even Queen Victoria, that most celebrated of all British monarchs survived 8 assassination attempts and at least one direct assault by a mob.

How about: What if Napoleon Bonaparte had won his wars and conquered Europe (And/or Russia, Egypt, ect.)?
It was a close call that Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo, but he would have probably been defeated a few months/years later. At this point basically the whole world wanted him gone (and it took 6 coalitions lol).
If the whole Russian debacle was avoided i can see his empire being stable for a bit longer but not for so long. An empire expanding so fast on different countries and cultures and relying on one man is doomed to fall whenever a weakness appears.

+John Adams true
I think it could also be argued that the US would have lost the War of 1812 if Napoleon had not come into power. This is because Napoleon's actions in Europe kept most of Britain's military busy and Britain was not able to fully invest in the war in America until after Napoleon's defeat, leading to an American victory. However, if the British had been able to focus everything on America from the beginning, things may have turned out much differently
I agree with everything you said except, "leading to an American victory". Nobody won the war, it was a White Peace, but America definitely lost. To quote Andrew Lambert in his book 'The Challenge: Britain against America in the Naval War of 1812':
"Eighty years later, a great American historian [Theodore Roosevelt I believe] gently reminded his fellow citizens that the War of 1812 had been a disaster; after a litany of deafeats all along the Canadian border, the capture and destruction of Washington, bankruptcy and the loss of several warships, including the national flagship; the peace settlement had been a fortunate escape...
...invading American armies were repulsed by a handful of British regulars, Canadian militia and their Indian allies. In fact the only battles the Americans won in 1812 were at sea, despite the [Democratic-]Republican administration effectively ignoring the Navy. In three frigate actions that year substantially larger American ships captured smaller, less powerful British opponents. Desperate for good news to bolster their flagging grip on political power, the [Democratic-]Republican Party latched on to the sea of glory, claiming these victories had been won in fair and equal combat, and linked the claim that the war had been declared as a response to British treatment of American ships and sailors...
...Although the war would drag on until the end of 1814, its outcome was decided by the failure of the American army to conquer Canada, the defeat of American attacks on British merchant shipping and a devastating British economic blockade that left America bankrupt and insolvent. In case anyone in America had missed the utter helplessness of their government, 4,000 British troops captured and burned Washington DC. The Presidential mansion, where the decision for war had been taken, was one of the public buildings to be torched. In the rebuild it acquired a coat of whitewash. The idea that the British 'lost' the war - in which they secured their aims by compelling the Americans to stop invading Canada, destroyed their capital city and reduced them to insolvency in the process - is one that requires explanation."
Jacob Rajacich There would be no War of 1812 because the reason for the war to happen wouldn't exist
Britain achieved their objectives in the war of 1812 while the US failed to fulfill any of theirs.
The US east coast was blockaded at will by the Royal Navy, the US was pushed out of Canada and rushed to sign a treaty that didn’t restrict the Royal Navy’s RIGHT to recover deserters from American ships which was apparently the reason the US declared war in the first place.
So explain to me how the US won ?
The US did lose the War of 1812. We invaded Canada with intent to conquer, therefore a treaty of Status Quo Ante Bellum is us losing

Napoleon offered a twelve thousand Franc reward to the first person who could successfully preserved food. The reward money motivated Nicolas Appert, a French pastry chef, to work on the problem. Eventually, after experimentation, he discovered the right methodology for preserving food, the canning process in glass jars, which housewives still employ to this day. This led to mechanized preservation of foods in cans and also led to Louis Pasture's pasteurization process.
If Napoleon had not been the king of France, it may have taken another hundred years for the world to learn how to preserve food. This would have caused a major delayed in the modern age's progression.

THE MONGOLS
And the British Empire, the Second French Empire and Japan. They all defeated Russia.
Querky_ Juiceboc oh the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth. They even captured moscow! And also they lost almost all battles against Napoleon.
umm...the polish-lithuanian commonwealth hold Moscow for 2 years
And the vikings
Napoleon defeated the Russians multiple times, he just made a mistake by invading them when he did.

You can’t argue that Napoleon just wanted power to himself. Don’t forget that France was the victim of various coalitions that attempted to destroy the ideas of the French Revolution, which is the very thing the French fought so hard for. They needed someone to lead them, to defend France, and defeat the enemy. And the person was Napoleon.
To the French, he was a hero. Just look at the Hundred Days. The King sent an army to arrest Napoleon when he returned to Elba. Instead the army turned to his side after he used his charisma to remind them of one thing: Their Emperor was back. It was time to make France great again.
@Orville Alexander trump is actually destroying america wich is very good for the europeans
@Orville Alexander and you can't compare napoleon with trump because napoleon IS GREAT and trump isn't also trump is not a military genius like napoleon
@Orville Alexander Damn bro you're really far gone from reality.
1) All Trump does is lie. The count of his lies is heavy in the 5 figures. He literally can't speak once without saying something misleading or outright false, claiming "I never said that" when someone calls him on his shit. Politicians lying is nothing new under the sun, but at least most politicians try and cover their snakery and do so semi-adequately; Trump does his snakery loud, proud, and in broad daylight, and the brainless gobble it up.
2) Both establishment Democrats and all Republicans in Washington love war, it's what their donors and the military industrial complex want. If you're referencing leftists dismay to Trump abandoning our allies, the Kurds, left to be genocided by ISIS and the Turks, that is in no way the same thing as our desire to end the Forever Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to end our toppling of democratically elected leaders and funding of far right terror organizations abroad. If you think Obama was a war hawk (which he was, don't get it twisted), keep in mind that Trump dropped more bombs on the Middle East in his first year as president than Obama did his whole 4 years. The steady flow of innocent civilians and American soldiers massacred pointlessly has only grown to a torrent under Trump--there's a reason that 60%+ of American soldiers (and even MORE generals) despise Trump.
3) Leftists don't hate small business owners of any race, they only hate large businesses. You may whine, "WhAt aBOuT BLm?!?!?" but the FACTS show that 93% of BLM protests have been *completely* peaceful. Even Portland, supposedly fallen to chaos and bloodbath, only had riots the first night of protests, with the protestors dealing with their own bad eggs shortly. The mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon told Trump, "hey, we're all good," and the authoritarian retard STILL sent militarized police, who, as they have done across the country, agitated protests. Agent provocateurs have ensured that every intention of keeping protests peaceful is ruined by cops desperate to try out their new militarized toys.
4) Biden has an average of a 10% lead in battleground states lmaooo "landslide" sure buddy, cope harder.
5) There has been zero evidence of the supposed fraudulent nature of mail-in ballots, but buy whatever unsubstantiated narratives you want I guess.
TLDR: Dumbass bootlicker BTFO'd with the FACTS 😘

Hey Cody, huge fan, love your analytical outlook on history and its affect on the world today. Your video on Napoleon is one of my personal favorites, especially for it's in-depth look on how politics not only in Europe would change, but around the world as well. I've been subscribed to you for a few years now and I must say, this is hands down my favorite channel on TH-cam.
That being the case, I would like to see your take on a few scenarios if you find them video worthy:
1. What if the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War/ What if China was never communist?
2. What if Israel was never established? (1948)
3. What if George Washington was never President?
4. What if the Irish never gained their independence?
5. What if Russia never colonized/took over Siberia?
I hope some of these scenarios catch your attention. As time goes on I will continue to contribute ideas as more come to mind. Have a good one Cody!
What if the Mongol Empire never collapsed?
What if Donald Trump was King of England? Hehehe >:)
P.S: Can the English take Donald Trump? We don't want him!!!!!!!!
ha you can keep em, we already got ourselves in a pickle with Article 58
Considering how inheritance worked, that would be pretty hard.
Russia not alive den
Requires the nature of the Mongol Empire and its rise to be different - its brutal rapid massive conquests ensured it would fall rather quickly.
6:11 “I left my stove on, so sorry” - Napoleon, alternate timeline video
You know, as a Spaniard I would have sided with the French. At that time Spain's population was divided in two sides; Patriots and "afrancesados" or "Frenchized". And even among the Patriots there was infighting between absolutists and liberals. It was a clusterfuck; Spain's first constitution was written in Cadiz as it was being assaulted by France's forces, with only Wellington and a the local resistance keeping them at bay. That's how chaotic things were.
Benicio Cienfuegos really Margo Robbie for me
@@jimzimmer2048 you got e-mail or twitter where we can talk?
Read "El asedio" of the great Arturo Perez reverte.
For the good of Spain, they should have accept Napoléon's brother as the spanish king. Their empire would still be there, Spain would have been modernized like France and together, with the military power of France and the giant empire of Spain, it would have been unstoppable.
40k reference. Love it.

Anyone notice how EVERY empire does well until they decide to take on Russia.
Geographical advantage, those winters in Russia are killer, literally
Also the size of its population which has a single army.
Napoleon should have just let Russia breach agreements? British empire was getting into some serious debt due to continental embargo, and suddenly this blessing, in terms of Russia starting trading with them again.
Napoleon should have just let it slide?
P.S. If he wanted to overthrow government in Russia, he would go for capital, not doing what he did.
Even the Soviets couldn't beat Russia...wait...
+Dillon Blair that's because they came in from the other direction most likely
Man, I can't believe this was 3 years ago. I remember when this first came out.
now its 5 years
You forgot to mention the followings:
Without Napoleon, Denmark wouldn't join the French side during the Napoleonic wars. And without that war, Denmark would keep Norway, at least for a bit longer.
Also one of Napoleon's generals, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, became Swedish and Norwegian crown prince, and later king under the name Karl Johan. Without him, it changes the history of Scandinavias monarchs, especially the Swedish royal house, which is known as the House of Bernadotte.
This would be an addition,to your theory:
If Napoleon Bonaparte never rose to power in France, that would go the same for Hitler and Germany. Hitler wouldn't be inspired by him and might not wish to be a political figure. Nazis would never exist, the Weimar Republic continues, Fascist Italy wouldn't have the strength, confidence and enough allies to declare war on Britain and France, Prime Minister Chamberlain would remain in power, Imperial Japan may or may not still declare war on the United States and the colonial rulers in Asia since the European rulers haven't been conquered and the Soviet Union would have no delay in war since the Nazis aren't there to cause trouble. Basically, World War 2 will be a separate set of wars between Europe vs USSR, US vs Japan.
So what happens to Britain? Without WW1 and 2 wouldn't that mean over 100 years of Britain just getting stronger?
that would suck but probably since america became number 1 economy after WW1 which probably wouldn't of happened
Britain's economic decline actually started before WW1 largely of their own making. But they would certainly hold onto their colonial empire.
also forgetting that without the napoleonic wars britain probably would have been far more aggressive towards the US
Britain might have held on to her colonies for longer, but depending on the borders and circumstances of german and italian unification and post-revolutionary France, Britain could have lost a large scale conflict with continental europe, instead of winning two times.
It seems rather likely that Britain and the US would not have played the same role in history as they did in our timeline. Without a strong US to supply Britain and get rich in the process, a alternate-timeline-WWI would probably have ended differently.
Let's say for example that Germany would have united more slowly, with loose cooperation between Austria-Hungary and Prussia at first and had consolidated over time. With a weakend France, the BeNeLux region would likely have been part of this German confederation and this giant of industial production (rhineland and BeNeLux) could have easily rivaled the industrial revolution in England. Making this HRE 2.0 the strongest military power in the world. --> Britain weaker
Or, since revolutionaries all across europe didn't have to choose between imperialistic napolionic France and the old order, revolutions and seperatist movements might have started everywhere. Britain beeing moderatly effected because of animosity between Britains subjects. --> Britain about the same
Or the coalitions against revolutionary france may have succeded and crushed the revolution. Britain probably would have seen territorial gain from the peace and lacking early german unification, Britain might have become the dominant power in all of europe. --> Britain stronger
The only real constant is that the USA would not have played a significant part on the world stage as early as it did and probably would have never become a military superpower.
there would most probably be a great war.
in our timeline, we had 3: the Napoleonic wars, the great war and WW2.
the tensions that caused WW1 existed even during Napoleons time. this was the cause of Austria's inability to fight Napoleon, as the Slavic majority were very unkeen on fighting Napoleon, who was much closer to them (being a non-Habsburger) than the 5 nippled Habsburgs that ruled the conquered land they came from.
tensions between the Germanics and their Slavic and Romance counterparts would most definitely have occurred no matter what. just as in our timeline, with WW1.
Italy was very keen on destroying Austria. so was Russia and Serbia.
and then you had about 80% of the population itself not being of Austrian Germanic decent. while the nation was ruled by only the Austrian Germanics. these tensions wouldn't have been lower, as Napoleon forced the Habsburgs to loosen their grip on their minorities.
thanks to Napoleon, Slavic languages were no longer illegal to speak openly anymore.

21:38 Is that Attack on Titan I see?
Yep
lol I get it now.
+Vanpyro Gaming yep lol
One critical change completely missed: the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Britain completely crushed the French and Spanish fleets, giving them free reign over the seas, and the ability to expand and strengthen the empire globally to its full -and pretty terrifying - extent. Without that battle, Britain would have had to fight piecemeal against French and Spanish colonial forces. If Spain had retained its colonies, that might have proven more difficult.
Also, the war of 1812. That war was mostly spurred by Britain being busy fighting France and using dirty tactics to acquire resources for that war. It was also not won by Britain and Canada (not really lost either, but definitely not won) partially because forces were split. If the French were busy killing each other, and the Spaniards possibly fighting the Americans, then Canada would not have been invaded, but the Loyalists who lived in Canada might have persuaded Britain to have another crack at the US while they were busy fighting Spain. Who knows, maybe the US would not exist at all?
If Napoleon never came to power, nationalism, which was born in France, couldn't have spread throughout Europe, so Europeans would still think of allegiance to a sovereign monarch instead of allegiance to a homeland.
Consequently, if such an infesting idea (nationalism) didn't spread in Europe, then it will also not spread on European colonies throughout the world. The reason why Europeans managed to control most of the world was because every people they found were divided--there were no nation-states, just tribes. In the 20th century when nationalism was quite entrenched throughout the globe, it became hard for the Europeans to keep their colonies because the peoples they ruled then became united--national revolutions were harder to stop than mere revolts by individual groups of divided peoples.
So the bottom line is, if it wasn't for Napoleon, nationalism couldn't have spread through Europe and their colonies. Europeans didn't have to face a united national effort among the peoples they ruled. Europeans would still be in control of most of the world to this day. There would still be empires.
And I think it's a good thing, by the way.
+Chivalry Wright yes better for everybody except well Europe
Why is it not going to be better for Europe?
Chivalry Wright is worst because the royal system would be preserved longer and the opresion of the people in that countrys would be even longer
But not in Britain, because Britain was already a constitutional monarchy back then, like it is today..
In Poland he's considered the liberator. Almost a national hero hadn't it been for him being in service of France and not Poland, but he helped so much that historically we love him as the best thing that ever happened to modern Europe.
And you should, actually he was and not only for the great Polska!

What if America invaded Japan instead of bombing it?
+Pug Lords What America? North America? Central America? South America? There are so many Americas. And the U. S woudnt have time to invade Japan, because Russia was already at the gates of Japan after they defeated their army in China, and Japan was already going to surrender to Russia before the U. S. dropped the bombs to show who was the top dog and commit a nice genocide, Russia would have invaded Japan before the U. S.

+Rias “MemeQueen” Gremory Central powers would lose even harder.
Jantje Jansen Why is that?
-An extra 500k men. Easily more, but that was the army that was mobilized despite the plans of staying neutral.
-Easier passage into Belgium and France.
-Trade through Rotterdam port. Provided they could beat the English navy. Even if not, it would still be very useful.
-Dutch navy
More allies to help you during a war is very rarely ever a bad thing.
The Allies would also have to take Indonesia

What if the Ottomans managed to win the Siege of Vienna
They got potential but if they won in Vienna they must fight with Russia and lose this fight becose Russians in that era got very effective Empire.
Austrians and Poles was medium enemy so even won in Vienna don't give Muslim Europe. For me that would be nightmare.
And they woud not beat Jan Sobieski becose he got experience wars with Tatars and other Nomads. Ottaman Empire uses fammiliar tactics.

Just bankrupted the country funding Americas independence from Britain.
Just skip over that bit.

Basically Europe defeating Napoleon.
"SUCK IT, NAPOLEON!"
Interesting scenario: What if Leon Trotsky took power after Lenin`s death instead of Stalin?
I guess the safest answer for Napoleon's legacy (although I am a big fan) is that, he was "necessary" for France at the time, and possibly for Europe as a whole, he did introduce a certain stability to the region for a while. I'd imagine the Coalition people would have been at each other's throat across the entire landmass sans Napoleon
