Historian Breaks Down Napoleon's Battle Tactics | WIRED

To be the firsttest with the moostest

"If you want to see his tactics, don't watch napoleon (2023)"

Just a detail, but you Show the circle at the wrong Place when talking about czech Republic

I never knew he spoke in a American accent until watching the film. Also strangley most of the frenchmen and even a few Russians spoke with english accents. Weird times.

Quick History: Napoleon’s most famous battles
There, I fixed the title for you

What about boridino

I really appreciate the expertise, particularly how detailed and accurate the battle of Toulon is described.

What kind of historian does not know that Napoleon lost 600 thousand by marching on Russia, but he said some unimportant battles

Mr. Jonathon isnt really a proper historian with all respect. He was commander, also he didnt even noticed many wrong "interpretations" in this film, for example that river crossing, 200 people died there, not really thousands as is portrayed in the film. there are many more tho.

Bro I made an appointment battle in the game and it was about Napoleon and the British I didn't know what true

It's funny how twice in the history there was some British soldier who had the chance to kill a future dictator.

That Napoleon film in 2023 was all fake in every aspect

Somehow I think this guy would be a great Dungeon Master. All that's missing after his vivid description of the battlefield is a: "Roll for initiative."

Napoleon the Greate Empaer.

Totally overrated figure. Mediocre tactician, horrible statesman.

Note: Czech Republic isn't in Croatia and Lutzen isn't in Bavaria. Just saying cause some can get confused with geography.

How’d they manage to misplace nearly all the white circles for locations?

He was well loved by his men because during those times Kings no longer lead men in battle not to mention putting themselves in the thickest of the battle. While the enemy troops secretly admired Napoleon and envied the French grand army for having such a leader that caused them to lose moral psychologically and emotional even before a battle has started. It was like enemy troops secretly saying to themselves "why can't we have kings like that?"

his description of Waterloo is terrible. Napoleon did crush the Prussians and then a hard battle started with the english until the Prussians came back after having ran away (I oversimplify here oc)

Ladders were not used in the battle of Toulon...

No battle of Jena?

Trying to defend the indefensible with this movie. All the battles were ludicrous

Very good video, but like most videos on Napoleon it forgets that he was much more than a the brilliant soldier he is reported to have been.

And we learn none of this at all in a movie that covers all the same battles. Instead, napoleon sits around lazily waving for his artillery and generally being a useless idiot. Such an awful film.

Great video, thanks for making it!

> Austerlitz
> "We are here in what's now the Czech Republic"
> circles Croatia

Pls do a sketch like this on Russian-Austrian battle of his

Why this guy let himself caught is such poor quality promotional content…

In 2014 a French historian Mr Jean Tulard counted the books written on Napoleon and arrived at more than 80,000.
We can say what we want about him but one thing is certain: "he is somewhat responsible for deforestation"😊😊

He's better than Andrew Roberts.

If Napoleon had duodeanal cancer that explains why he had that distended Dad bod of his in his later potraits.

Napoleon was Talleyrand disciple. It's Talleyrand the strategist, the master puppet.

Break down ? Nah its just short review

High praise for: Josephine, a Napoleon Story

Napoleon himself said that had he not lost Marshal Berthier, he likely would have won at Waterloo. The inadequacies of Marshal Soult as his army commander showed that day.

Lmao, of course the only location a British historian can somewhat accurately pin point on a map is Waterloo. He was quite a bit off with like every other battle.

It was a great movie. You must be a history nerd to appreciate it unique portrayal of Napolean. Despite the criticism and the abysmal rating it was given. I LOVE IT.

Ridley Scott's Napoleon: this one I hate a lot

Now I’m well educated to play “call of duty ground war : breach”.

Napoleon’s Bonerpart

Why does no one ever talk about Leipzig?

Why would they take away women’s right to healthcare
And not take away women’s right to vote?

Just watched the Movie earlier, the Waterloo battle scene was epic.💪

Basically the man had balls of steel

He's absolutely right! I did use all those tactics.

Joaquin Phoenix is a Miscast. At 24, when Napoleon was portrayed by Phoenix, he appeared to be a 55-year-old, both in looks and, unfortunately, his performance in the movie was deemed a failure.
