Napoleon Bonaparte was a product of his time. He was a military genius and became influential enough to seize power which he did, as would have anyone in his position during those times. He was by no means a perfect person but his contributions to France are immense. No matter how you may feel about him, it cannot be denied that Napoleon was an exceptionally illustrious person, a visionary and a true leader of men.
Napoleon Bonaparte is my favourite historical figure ever👌
batgirl :P Mine too...actually, he is the greatest man ever lived so your taste is excellent...
He is my role model
He is our herooo
He, julius caesar, and the emperor agustus octavian were men of their destiny we need right now for Europe today!
Mine is Suleiman The Magnificent
my favourite historical character, in game and in real life
Nerf the Bush He was the coolest character in the game because he had no relations with Assassins or Templars and could still dominate and use both of the secret societies.
The fact of the matter is Napoleon was not the monster or tyrant as depicted by the propaganda of the time and repeated ever after. He instituted the Code Napoleon incorporating the principle of Equality Before The Law, which forms the basis for European law to this day. He implemented the Career Open To All Talents, which meant you could rise to high office in Army or State, regardless of birth. He poured money into universities and education, the list goes on...quite apart from being the greatest captain of his age fighting a coalition of, for the most part, absolute monarchies and backward feudal states like Russia, for example, who still had a system of medieval serfdom, for God's sake.
thomas brady The rest of Europe was basically still under the feudal system. They were even trying to get in the way of the French Revolution and suppressed many revolutions after Napoleon lost. The other European monarchs really gave him a convenient reason to invade.
Brian 1815 I agree for the most part except when it comes to education. He wanted the elite to recieve a great education and barely funded smaller schools, having their educations be based on religion.
''What my enemies call a general peace is my destruction; What I call peace is merely the disarmament of my enemies. Am I not more moderate than they?'' - Napoleon
He doesn't reintroduce the slavery but maintains it because the others powers like British, Russia, austria didn't see well an abolition. He did it to make peace with the Great Britain at the Damian peace.
@thomas brady He was elected emperor by the french, he didnt reintriduced slavery but he maintained it in the colonies where it wasnt abolished. then he declared 0 war, all the wars he fought were delacred by the monarchies that despised the revolutionnary values as freedom, equiality and meritocracy. next time before talking read a history book
Napoleon had a great expression in Unity. He just had this look of "I'm done with life" and it was awesome. I also liked his voice actor
This guy is fucking amazing at pronouncing names. O_o
Only guy who stood up againsts the Spanish empire, Portuguese empire , British Empire, Prussia empire , Russian empire , Austrian Empire ,rich oligarchs and financiers all at the same time.
I am learning this in French Revolution History. I really love your animation and narration. Napoleon had a similar vedic birth chart like Hitler. Libra Rising. His degree was 25. Hitler's 1 degree. I found him to have a soft heart and a brilliant Army General. But he could not win the hearts of women. He received much inspiration from his Mother which made him very loving at heart to women. Maybe because he was always at war. I also read somewhere online , that Napoleon was the 4th. child and that his mom lost a son and she named him after her lost baby son. Probably it was him reborn in that form. She loved him very much. He was soft at heart and very poetic too. I think he was the last reigning King at that time and he was born to be a great leader. His son could not continue his lineage maybe because this type of reign was finished and not supposed to happen again. Maybe in a next ERA ,his soul will surely resurrect. I really want to know why / how he managed to travel so extensively and did not make it to America. I wish he came here . I never knew he wanted to commit suicide, I read somewhere he had stomach cancer. An astrologer may have to confirm that. I also want to know why he went to Egypty, why he went to Syria and other Middle Eastern countries. I also wonder who the captains of his ships were and navigation must have been very well developed in those days, no wonder he traveled so much !! I adore your mighty power and strenght Napoleon. Your soul is forever alive !!
12:51 I love that line, "If he were to meet with an accident..." It's such an awesome way of saying, "I need you to kill this guy."
Napoleon truly is the coolest Historical figure
Your French pronunciation is pretty good!
Napoléon Yagami Light is basically a modern Napoleon in more than a few ways in the show.
Bryan Wheelock Are you ? I reckon that they are similar in some points but Napoléon was totally the opposite Light's "dark side", and I know what I am talking about.
Napoléon Yagami There was one quote in particular. The "who else could've done it?!", wanting to rule the world, being brilliant, etc.
Bryan Wheelock Right, but Napoleon didn't want to rule the world or else he wouldn't have made alliance with country that made war against him.
And when Light want to be the best, brillant, etc, it was just for his pride and ego, Napoléon wanted to be brillant at school because he was discredited by french students, and after, he didn't have the choice but to be the best: he was ruling the French Empire ! xD
_forgive my english, it is not my native language at all_
another reason why I miss these vids. you always pronounce names and places with flawless accuracy
haha, thanks for that. I appreciate the support. If things align properly, you may see us return to content production in the Fall of 2016.
-Robius
Yes please come back and maybe make an episode on the upcoming AC movie!
Shocking,I got a headache just listening to you,try to slow down next time,
Could you please do Maximillien Robespierre?
oh and as always very cool video!:)
Definitely, I'm thinking that video will probably be coming rather soon. Thank you for your vote and the support of the series, its very appreciated!
-Robius5991
Do you speak French or something? That pronunciation
Your knowledge on Napoleon is impeccable and incredible I've never heard anybody speak of Napoleon such a way
I know my history of Napoleon extremely well, good job my friend!
Napoleon - the greatest person in human history
How can you say that and have that profile picture. He was a freemason and a traitor.
@@plusultra7123 If you think of him like that, then you don't really know him.
Do you speak french ? Because your pronunciation of french is flawless. If so , where are you from ?
10:38 No wonder he was so good with canons. He was walking around with 2 iron canon balls in his pants.
Learning a lot from this !
like the complete video, even how you speak.
(cause some others don't like it how i saw in the other comments)
thanks for that. (y)
Thank you!
Do Georges Danton , it was always ambigous in the game whether he was good or a bad charchter
Your accent is so good!
I know this was posted ages ago, but this is in fact quite an adept summary of Napoleon's career. The French might not appreciate the accent and I rather think the Grande Armee that entered Russia was nearer 650,000 men, but I'm surprised and impressed - by the game excerpts as well.
Awesome video, Napoleon was my all time favorite history figure and is very happy that we would interact with him in the game.
Oh and I'm replaying this video again and again just to listen to you pronounce those names. I love your pronunciation, you're an expert haha.
you should make an updated version of this that includes his appearances in the Dead Kings dlc
I love when you're speaking french .. And I'm french .. congrats !
Thanks Im am learning about napoleon in college
Napoleon Bonaparte is my role model
I'm French, and likes you, Napoleon it's my favorite history character. I had the chance to work in the Palace of Fontainebleau, a beautiful palace near Paris, who was one of Napoleon favorites Palace. About this Castle, Napoleon in vis memory describe it has "The true home of kings, the house of centuries". And even if many kings or is own nephew Napoleon III habitated the Castle, Fontainebleau is internationaly know as the castle of Napoleon.
That’s possibly how Napoleon got Stomach Cancer, The poison pill
could you start doing events that take place like the french revolution or seven years war
Of course, I definitely plan on covering those soon. Granted, you've given me two massive events, which I may give an overview of at some point, however if there are any specific events or battles within either the French Revolution or Seven Years War that you would like to see, please let me know. Thanks.

cheers mate if you did the reign of terror during the french revolution that would be a cool vid btw i love all your vids
I agree though that will be extremely hard to do, the French Revolution is extremely complicated, it has so many layers.
Or Napoleon blownapart
Why do we consider Julius Caesar to be one of the greatest heroes in Western history, but Napoleon Bonaparte as one of its greatest villains?
because he is french and the british influence (the ennemies of napoleon) was really important... Caesar had the chance to not have a similar opponent to ternish his legacy.
Because Julius Caesar was a honorable men and not a freemason and a traitor like Napoleon.
Where is most of the cutscene from, I never saw them in the lets plays of ACU
coop missions...
play the story
Napolean was just a short guy who wants some reputation
It's 25 days till Christmas! Got anything planned?
Do Captian James Cook from Assassin's creed: Rogue
He discovered Australia :)
Really liked this game coop glitchy doe
woah
Some historical figures just captivate us in such as way that makes us wish they lived in the present. No matter how immoral their actions were. Napoleon is one of them.
Will you be doing Theroigne de Mericourt?
I intend to at some point in the near future, thank you for your suggestion.
-Robius5991
It's so realistic.
vergiss nicht! " Frederich der Große "in Assassin Creed! 😆😆😆😆
finaly an english speaker that got a good french accent!
shut up your english accent is terrible
I am ... YOU
the hiden part of your mind that know every of your weaknesses
I cannot I AM YOU, idiot
o yea so just stop writing on youtube please
Fine but just go back to work, you are not doing internship to watch youtube videos
the pronunciation of the french names made me almost cut both my ears off. otherwise, good video, like always
Ummm he prononces them very well.
I Agree as a frenchman, he didnt pronounce them well but i've seen far worse
Jake Rebboa Yeah he's trying at least.
I'd like to see your take on Robespierre and Saint-Just, both of whom I think the game maligns by making them out to be stereotypical monsters. The reality was that Robespierre never gloated over Danton's death and he tried, albeit weakly, to moderate the Reign of Terror. Saint-Just is portrayed in the game as a complete psychopath, whereas in reality he saved France militarily and wrote the Constitution of 1793. Both Robespierre and Saint-Just did some bad things, but more through political weakness and fear of counter-revolution than through malice.
Napoleon did what was necessary and never gave up his ideals, A great man short in stature
He was actually taller than the average man.
it was a grate video but can you talk slower and also add english subtitle
What are your sources for this information?
I'm actually doing my Senior Thesis on him. I believe it's enough for 40 pages.
Wasn't Napoleon short as well?
He was about 5'6 it was Great Britain's propaganda that portrayed him to be dwarf like
@@zanbato2794 lol he was a manlet!
he was average height for the time
Are you french?
Why speaking so fast?
I would follow this man everywere he would go
Shit dont sign contracts with Machninima!
600,000 men crossed the Niemen into Russia in 1812, not 450,000.
no, 450. 600'000 was the total number of involved in the operation including guarding key points in the border, only 450k crossed
SkipperPlaysTW I believe it was 680,000 too.
If you're anything like me, the gaunt face of Abraham Lincoln conjures images of two things: booze and partying. Wait, you're saying it doesn't? That must mean you haven't heard of the time he got a small, all-American town drunk for a living.
why you are speaking so fast
Napoleon was a BADASS
7:44
It's *Britain* / the *United Kingdom*, not just England.
Tu parles bien français.
Bri'ish napoleon
Imagine if we could go back in time and have a ringside seat to history. I don't always believe historians.
He's over pronouncing every French name wrong
literally should have been napoleon centered
slow dafuq down holy shit.
Great video! Stop with that accent tho!
That's just how the name is pronounced ...
This video is 75% long ass French names
Please can you stop the accents. I am I the only one who really doesn't like the accents?
He's not using any accents, that's just the correct way to pronounce the names
Why don't you pronounce names correctly
He does pronounce named correctly.
I'm a french guy and yes I can approuve that he pronounce names correctly ;)
Napoleon was also only 5'2!!!!!
no, he was taller, about 5'6 in fact.
Nick Marino In French units, yes. However, the myth of Napoleon being short is British wartime propaganda.
