Start studying about Napoleon I always remembered reading about how his father send him to the military school in France even though he was a Corsican, he because formally trained as both artillery and infantry officer. And of course his rise started at Tulon. Then the whiff of grapeshot then the actions of Italy, then the Egypt expedition, then the coup d'etat of 1799. Then after again, victorious against the Austrians and 1800 in Italy that's what cemented the path to become emporer of france. Also Napoleon actually really was loved by his soldiers since Italy. And they were intensely loyal to him even though you're great respect for them. Dying men would scream "vive le emperor" as he would come by. But Napoleon was a brilliant tactician and a masterful soldier. Just like his heroes Alexander and Caesar.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when Napoleon went to Egypt and watch them come ashore, find the pyramids, burial sites and the Rosetta Stone. I think that would be amazing to go back and watch all that happen unfold. That would've been an amazing part of history to witness. As well as going back and seeing Ceasar and Caligula and their ships, empire, and just how the average person lived their day 2k years ago up until 300 years ago. It doesn't seem like much changed in that course of time, yet so much happened that it would be astonishing to see firsthand.

Bonaparte was the Hitler of the 19th century. Both had delusions of conquering Europe, both failed to conquer Russia, and both said "I want only peace." Both megalomaniacs plunged Europe in a colossal bloodbath for personal ambition. Both plundered priceless art treasures from the countries they invaded. Both armies raped and killed civilians. And both were outfoxed by the British. As a footnote, there is a photograph of Hitler in 1940 at Bonaparte's tomb... Also, both were dictators and have been described as sociopaths. Both saw themselves as victims. Neither one saved his people; they harboured nothing but contempt for their people. When their empires crumbled around them, they sacrificed the people for their own vanity.

Imagine this man followed Washington to have a term limit for all future French presidents.

In Corsican hills where dreams took flight, A boy named Napoleon, destiny in sight. Born to a world of tumultuous change, In the winds of revolution, a destiny arranged. As a youth, he donned the military guise, Brienne's halls echoed with his rising cries. Italy's campaign, a canvas to paint, Military brilliance, a rising saint. The French Revolution, a tempest's call, In the chaos, Napoleon stood tall. Rising through the ranks with lightning speed, His path to power, born of urgent need. A coup d'état, a bold endeavor, Toppling the Directory, forever. First Consul he became, with plans profound, To reshape a nation on history's battleground. The Napoleonic Code, a legal decree, A cornerstone of his legacy. A ruler crowned, an emperor's claim, Napoleon's rise, etching its name. Empire expanded, borders stretched wide, Through battles fierce, he rode the tide. Austerlitz, Jena, victories bold, In his wake, tales of glory told. Yet shadows loomed, a gathering storm, At Leipzig's gates, came Waterloo's mourn. Exiled to an island, Saint Helena's shore, The once-mighty Emperor, forevermore. Napoleon, a tale of rise and fall, In ambition's dance, he stood tall. His legacy echoes, a complex lore, In history's pages, forevermore.

Presented like this it’s as if these people spring out of the ground fully developed. But such individuals are developed as a combination of opportunities, relationships, and good information.

I'm only watching cause 1 I like history an 2 in short😊.

I agree w/Robert Greene, the author who considered him the greatest of generals: But he did not know the lay of the land of Waterloo like Wellington who want to military school there 😮Wellington did and Napoleon was defeated big time…..he had similarities with Julius Caesar not in a defeat but the love of his army and strategy in war.

@@rhysnichols8608 Yes, Wellington on his own didn't defeat Napoleon, the allied armies, under Wellington and Blucher defeated Napoleon. That and the myth that Napoleon was defeated in Russia because of winter is quite annoying.

Can we stop saying he’s from a modest background. He’s from pretty much the most important family in Corsica.

I don't think that's true. As reported in this video he was from a relatively modest background. Evidence is there to see, from him becoming an artilleryman (there was a hierarchy in action, rich nobles joined certain cavalry regiments as a matter of course, nobles not so rich other cavalry regiments and infantry, poorest nobles the engineers and artillery, which pretty much barred them from ever becoming generals) to young artillery lieutenant Buonaparte being so poor that he was quite literally hungry, to him and his elder brother Joseph being engaged to daughters of a plebeian silk merchant. Or his father being a complete nobody during the Corsican revolt against the Genoese.

That's like coming from a middle class bureaucrat family in modern times. Literally everyone beneath them was peasants not that far from poverty themselves

@@isidroramos1073 relatively modest means he’s not a French Duke. He’s an aristocrat, he’s literally from one of the most prominent families in Corsica. That is not from a humble background. For context, Lord Nelson is actually from a relatively humble background in that his dad was a vicar.

@@54032Zepol he joins the artillery because he’s Corsican and they are short of cash because of his dads gambling. That’s ‘relative’ to other rich aristocrats not relative to the average citizen. It’s also not unusual for aristocrats to get into debt gambling. But they still have the name, titles, influence in Corsica and land. This idea that he’s an average Joe is preposterous.

I think Napoleon*s main aid in his rise to power was his dorky hat.

I Start studying about Napoleon . I'm very Interested in the histor, and always remembered reading about how his father send him to the military school in France even though he was a Corsican, he because formally trained as both artillery and infantry officer. And of course his rise started at Tulon. Then the whiff of grapeshot then the actions of Italy, then the Egypt expedition, then the coup d'etat of 1799. Then after again, victorious against the Austrians . Also Napoleon actually really was loved by his soldiers since Italy. And they were intensely loyal to him even though you're great respect for them.

Yes but what about Napoleon providing what was in effect high school for girls? This is not a balanced evaluation.

Yes he should have learnt from the King of Swedens invasion of Russia in 1709 King Charles XII at Poltava who was decimated by the Russian redoubts there

@@54032Zepol Hello sorry to disagree Napoleon's war aims in Russia was to get the Tsar of Russia to the negotiating table for him to comply with Napoleon's European trade block against Britain after his campaign with Prussia at Tilsit. Tsar Alexander I broke that agreement by transporting wood to Britain that was the reason for the invasion so in truth his campaign totally failed. Taking Moscow did not bring the Tsar to negotiate. It was the same with his invasion of Portugal and Spain breaking the blockade with Britain.

Indeed! Completely cretinous to keep using a photo of this stupid actor when it's a video about the real Napoleon and not the movie.

How did he rise to power? Napoleon merely stood up. THE END. NEXT!!
