Napoleon in Italy: Battle of Lodi 1796 (1/5)
In 1796, at the height of the Revolutionary Wars, Napoleon Bonaparte took command of French forces in northern Italy. He was just 26 years old and had never commanded an army before. Within weeks, he had turned his ragged, demoralised troops into a ferocious fighting force, defeating the Austrians and knocking Piedmont out of the war. With success, Napoleon began to believe it was his destiny to shape the fate of nations. In this series, we follow Napoleon's first glorious campaign step by step.

Yet when Napoleon's created the first eighteen Marshals of the Empire in 1804, the choices were of equal number (nine) of the Army of the Moselle and Rhine and the Army of Italy. It seems quite obvious or that despite the Army of Italy playing the bigger role in the victory over the First Coalition, Napoleon didn't want one army to feel overshadowed by the other army and to maintain loyalty of his new empire.

'Steingel, Desaix, Massena!' he cried, 'Ah! the victory will be gained! hasten, urge the charge! they are ours!'

Massena and Augereau were from poor, impoverished backgrounds, not gifted with Kingdoms like Murat or Joseph to rule as their own. This doesn’t exactly excuse the fact they were extortionists to the max, but it goes a long way to explaining their behavior. Greed is a hard vice to ignore, especially when you can satisfy that vice with the barrel of a musket or point of a saber.

"Napoleon had the Allies on the run, but for how long?"
I played a Napoleonic tabletop (Marengo campaign) with Mr. Rocco last evening at his beautiful home in Virginia. I felt like I had walked into the dwelling of one of the Emperor’s old Hussars. He’s a true gentleman and lover of this history.
"Never was Napoleon so great as during the war in Italy, there he was a hero, now he is only an emperor. In Italy he had no soldiers, they were almost unarmed, no bread, no shoes, no money, no administration, no one to expect help from, anarchy in the government. He himself was unassuming, he had a reputation as a mathematician and a dreamer, he had no victories under his belt, no friends. Everything had to be created, and he created it." ©General Lassalle in 1809

Great video as usual and beautiful pictures too. Just a word about the Directory. At first, It was not seen as being led by incompetent and corrupted men, especially Lazare Carnot who was nicknamed The Organizer of the Victory. As a member of the Public Safety Committee during the Convention, he profoundly reorganized the French army and made it to be able to fight against the First Coalition and the civil war in Vendée. I think that the Directory has been discredited with its Coup d'Etat of 18th Fructidor when it eliminated the royalist political opposition. And threatened of being arrested and deported, Carnot had to run away...
