One thing I question is that he said Genoa _sold_ Corsica to the French. I can’t really find any major (and only some minor mentions in passing on Google) sources saying it was “sold.” It’s a minor point, but if any commenters are bored and know and could shed some light, I’d be interested.
Napoleon may have seemed or been arrogant, but the fact he was willing to get covered in blood and mud just like his troops, rather than the generals they were used to who sat on horses and delegated orders, was a massive powermove.
Well it's a snowball effect once you have so many subscribers isn't it? When you release a video your influx of people with notifications at once is going to cause the system to think the flood of traffic is a trending video when it's not really trending at all, it's just your already existing subscribers viewing it, but then it gets put on trending list and does trend. Hence snowball effect.

I love the fact that Oversimplified even has humorous and clever writing for its Napoleon propaganda newspaper. Reading through it while having the video paused was quite entertaining - shows you how much work the guy puts into even the tiny details of his videos.
Is that an excuse for one video every 6 months(almost 6 months)? I think one video every 2 months should be easy because like he said he's not one person but he has a team since he says "we appreciate you guys", "we are grateful" etc. I believe after they finish a video they take 1 week or maybe 2 weeks break but they could still manage it if they are alot of people(by alot i dont mean over 10 but probably like 5)
Fun fact; Napoleon won more military battles than Alexander The Great, Julius Caesar, Attila The Hun & Genghis Khan COMBINED! The only reason he lost Waterloo was his Hubris. He was so good, too good. To the point of believing he couldn’t possibly lose, because he never lost before. Basically he didn’t respect his enemy & greatly underestimated the English. Thus Napoleon barely even used tactics in that battle. His pride cost him everything that day. Kinda funny, the greatest military genius of all time is remembered for his crushing defeat, rather than his numerous victories. There’s a lesson in there somewhere 😂

Fun fact: Napoleon's wife, Josephine, was almost killed during the Revolution. Remember how she was a divorcee? Well, it turns out that her first husband was one of the aristocrats killed during the reign of terror. In fact, Josephine was also imprisoned and sentenced to death. She wasn't killed because five days later, Robespierre was.
Bonus: Napoleon had the odd habit of occasionally disguising himself as an ordinary Frenchman, walking through the streets while asking random passers-by what they thought of their emperor.
@Long Hei Linus KWAN He was a dictator turned monarch. A dictator is just any leader who has absolute poltical power but without royal trappings such as when he was first Consul. He was a effective leader and better than the Bourbons that's for sure.
Well the thing is if they don’t sell it. Napoleon won’t able to fund his army. If he lost mainland the colony will declare independence. See what happened to Spain

Napoleon unlike other generals is actually not selfish to his troops and actually respect his army which boosted the mood of the army for fighting for him. (True story)
Fun fact: at 8:49 the action of Napoleon throwing and breaking that porcelain when demanding the Austrians sign the peace treaty is completely historically accurate! Napoleon smashed a piece of porcelain that belonged to Ludwig Count Von Cobenzl, an Austrian foreign minister tasked with negotiating territorial disputes with France after the end of the first coalition war at the peace of Campo Formio. After much debate about border issues with France’s newly established territorial gains encroaching on the Rhineland, Napoleon threatened war again before smashing Cobenzl’s favored porcelain figure, which was a gift from empress Catherine II thanking him for his previous diplomatic works in St. Petersburg. Cobenzl and the Austrians would sign said treaty on that same day of October 17, 1797, speechless from Napoleon’s gallant behavior. Oversimplified, I don’t know if you did that on purpose or not, but your attention to insane details like that is why I love your channel so much.

Napoleon's mom disapproved of him blind ambition and the death and destruction he brought to Europe. She refused to come to his coronation in 1804 or even set foot in France when he was "Emperor". She retired to Italy, never learnt French and died disappointed in her son. In a way, getting his mother's approval drove him. He never got it. So no, it's not different.
@@luxusex1358 French foot, measurement of length, was longer than English foot, which created misunderstanding of Napolens height, and English were not keen on correcting this error. They wanted to portrait him as evil little man.

except that the old queen already had a strong empire and she was not going to fight with her soldiers and the fleet was already on all fronts England has never had a war on their own territories and is not surrounded powerful country 2 km from home :) in short comparing England and France is comparing a vulture and an eagle nothing to do between an opportunist who stays hidden and steals the loot of others and a fighter who has existed for extremely for a long time and who knew how to both fight on several fronts and stay at the top in terms of a powerful country
Things oversimplified teaches us: -Nord VPN gives you cool hair -Don’t severely punish your child - the best motivational speech is, ‘you guys are cool’.
I've watched these Napoleon videos at least a dozen times, but I just now realized that the whole "baby boy" exchange between Napolean and Alexander of Russia is a reference to the Austrian statesmen Metternich calling Alexander "the biggest baby on earth." 24:58
Well it was more in the fact that socially he was always rather awkward one way or another, he was by all accounts quite handsome. Even when he became more confident he was still not charming as he was a very restless man who did not like too much protocol as he believed it wasted time. Napoleon's charisma came less from charm than more from his personal bravery, exceptional knowledge and cutting wit that when people were around him they knew he knew EXACTLY what he was talking about.
Not so much ugly than he was "a creep" aka behave in a very off-putting manner and he didn't take care of himself (and severed multiple depression through his life), in either look or health which gave him a sickly look. He was the proto-nerd and stuck out like a sore thumb, not taking care of his image in his young year, used to be isolated, not familiar with etiquette, mode and other norms. This got better with Josephine and him rising rank, as he started taking care of his health, look and more.
This has came up so many times on my auto play... and every time I let the opening just play out. She really did give birth to an entire army. I kinda want my history books to have 0:47, just a still shot of that in there somewhere next to the text that describes Napoleon's background.

Its amazing how much his army loved him. Like genuine love.

True
Fun fact: at 8:49 the action of Napoleon throwing and breaking that porcelain when demanding the Austrians sign the peace treaty is completely historically accurate! Napoleon smashed a piece of porcelain that belonged to Ludwig Count Von Cobenzl, an Austrian foreign minister tasked with negotiating territorial disputes with France after the end of the first coalition war at the peace of Campo Formio. After much debate about border issues with France’s newly established territorial gains encroaching on the Rhineland, Napoleon threatened war again before smashing Cobenzl’s favored porcelain figure, which was a gift from empress Catherine II thanking him for his previous diplomatic works in St. Petersburg. Cobenzl and the Austrians would sign said treaty on that same day of October 17, 1797, speechless from Napoleon’s gallant behavior. Oversimplified, I don’t know if you did that on purpose or not, but your attention to insane details like that is why I love your channel so much.
Dude where'd you read all that I bet no one would else have mentioned it
@@PratikshaGupta-v1n found it referenced in a biography I’m reading about Austria’s involvement in European wars/politics from 1790 to 1850 through the perspective of Clemens Von Metternich, Austria’s foreign affairs minister during the congress of Vienna. The book is titled “Metternich: Strategist and Visionary” by Wolfram Siemann

For what I remember the Japanese army was incredibly modern (thanks to all the French, English and American counselors they hired, the movie Last Samurai is based upon the story of a french general they transformed into an American guy for the movie). Much more than the outdated Russian army of that time.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Bc dads hit so hard that you will start rethinking about your life
Freud would have so much to say about that...
Napoleon's mom disapproved of him blind ambition and the death and destruction he brought to Europe. She refused to come to his coronation in 1804 or even set foot in France when he was "Emperor". She retired to Italy, never learnt French and died disappointed in her son. In a way, getting his mother's approval drove him. He never got it.
So no, it's not different.
@@santyias87 That sounds like the complete opposite of the stereotypical asian mom: "How dare you have ambitions, boy?! Get back in the coal mine!"

except that the old queen already had a strong empire and she was not going to fight with her soldiers and the fleet was already on all fronts England has never had a war on their own territories and is not surrounded powerful country 2 km from home :) in short comparing England and France is comparing a vulture and an eagle nothing to do between an opportunist who stays hidden and steals the loot of others and a fighter who has existed for extremely for a long time and who knew how to both fight on several fronts and stay at the top in terms of a powerful country
Things oversimplified teaches us:
-Nord VPN gives you cool hair
-Don’t severely punish your child
- the best motivational speech is, ‘you guys are cool’.
Also don't conquer U.S.A
And invading Russia before the winter is bad
- NEVER INVADE MOTHER RUSSIA
Napoleon can boink for two seconds
This enraged his father, who punished him severely.
I've watched these Napoleon videos at least a dozen times, but I just now realized that the whole "baby boy" exchange between Napolean and Alexander of Russia is a reference to the Austrian statesmen Metternich calling Alexander "the biggest baby on earth." 24:58

For a man who is called "ugly" he sure does have some flattering paintings.
Well it was more in the fact that socially he was always rather awkward one way or another, he was by all accounts quite handsome. Even when he became more confident he was still not charming as he was a very restless man who did not like too much protocol as he believed it wasted time. Napoleon's charisma came less from charm than more from his personal bravery, exceptional knowledge and cutting wit that when people were around him they knew he knew EXACTLY what he was talking about.
Actually he was a nice looking dude
Not so much ugly than he was "a creep" aka behave in a very off-putting manner and he didn't take care of himself (and severed multiple depression through his life), in either look or health which gave him a sickly look.
He was the proto-nerd and stuck out like a sore thumb, not taking care of his image in his young year, used to be isolated, not familiar with etiquette, mode and other norms.
This got better with Josephine and him rising rank, as he started taking care of his health, look and more.
Monarchs payed artists well to paint them in a more desirable light as well, so its likely they intentionally made him more attractive
@@sadcrab9125 he actually does look the same in most of his paintings
