I would say Arch Duke Charles was Napoleon's most formidable opponent. More so than Wellington, who only fought Napoleon once at Waterloo, when the French were not at their best, when Ney made a number of errors, and Wellington still near close to defeat had it not been for the Prussians. Charles faced Napoleon repeatedly, on many occasions, at times when the French were at the peak, and in the Case of Wagram, Aspern-Essling, was on his own without Allies, yet still managed to give Napoleon a very hard time

Even though Russia gained territory for essentially doing nothing the rift between Napoleon and Russia widened due to the Duchy of Warsaw gaining substantial territory on the Russian border.

He took a Polish mistress and had a very capable military leader in Prince Potianowski from the Duchy in his back pocket.

Fun fact: It was after this battle that Napoleon’s Polish cavalry gained lances. The French-Polish cavalry and the Austrian’s Ulans faced each other, the French-Polish light cav used the Ulans' lances against them, The Ulans were also made of a lot of Polish soldiers so both sides insulted each other in Polish, would’ve been a good show. After the French Polish returned with the lances, Napoleon said « They can keep their lances since they know how to use them so well » Since then, they’ve been known as Polish Lancers

If Napoleon had deposed Francis and set up a puppet kingdom in Austria with one of his family or marshals it's likely that he would've faced the same sort of insurrection that occurred in Spain when he usurped their rightful monarch and replaced him with Joseph. Already there was popular resistance against the French and their Bavarian allies in the Tirol, which had been parcelled out to Bavaria as one of the spoils of war. In addition, such a move would have completely broken the old European political system of rule by monarchy and it's highly likely that both Russia and Prussia - who were both allies of Napoleon in 1809 - would have instantly gone over to the British side. Napoleon was always able to dominate continental Europe when he kept the Russians onside but having them as an opponent together with the other major powers was a recipe for disaster - as he found out to his cost in 1813.

Spoilers of events from over 200 years ago

I studied General MacDonald's attack quite intensely. His 'square' formation was highly unusual, and the largest that ever took place in the Napoleonic Wars. Not only had MacDonald's 8000 infantry held off Austrian troops against their left and right flanks, they beat off three cavalry charges by Austrian cuirassiers, probably at the same time they were fighting against the Austrian infantry. The Austrian bombardment caused severe casualties among the French troops. At one point, the Austrians were in disarray, and MacDonald invited General Nansouty's cuirassiers and General Walthier's Guard cavalry to charge and decimate the enemy while the opportunity was there. Nansouty had held his cavalry too far to the rear, and accepted the invitation to charge, but it was too late. The Austrians had withdrawn their guns to safety, which were abandoned during their moment of disarray, formed square and beat off the French cuirassiers. The Guard cavalry on the other hand did not attack, since the Imperial Guard adhered to a strict chain of command in obeying only the Emperor's orders in fighting, and nobody else. MacDonald had berated General Walthier for doing nothing, and even Napoleon, later on, came to agree that his Guard cavalry should have charged, even if orders from him were never issued. Reinforcements, in the form of Wrede's Bavarian Corps, two Imperial Guard cavalry regiments, and four Young Guard battalions came to the rescue, and helped MacDonald take control of Süssenbrunn. MacDonald stayed there during the rest of the day and through the night, unaware the battle was over and the Austrians were retreating. In the following morning, Napoleon himself, satisfied of MacDonald's conduct, gave him the rank of "Marshal of France" One of three men, including Oudinot and Marmont, who were given that rank on the field of Wagram. I recommend reading MacDonald's Recollections. its free on this website. www.electricscotland.com/history/france/marshallndx.htm

All good stuff. Perhaps you'll agree with me that the use of the word 'square', though traditional, doesn't really describe what MacDonald was about. More of a column attack, steeply echeloned on both sides! And yes, it seems he was let down by poor coordination of support. There seems to be disagreement about whether the guard cavalry refused to charge, or the order didn't reach them in time. Given the chaos of a Napoleonic battlefield, I'm inclined to believe the latter, though obv we can never really know.

What should be noted is that Bernadotte's disgrace after the battle, on the account of him trying to lift the Saxon's spirits by a controversial Order of the Day, was to have momentous effects for Napoleon a few years down the line. Although the immediate consequence was positive as it made Bernadotte available to command the Army of Antwerp that successful bottled up the British landing on the Scheldt. It wasn't long after the Walchrean Debacle that Bernadotte was offered, and accepted, the offer of the Swedish throne. He later joined the allies following the French occupation of Swedish Pomerania, and co-authored the Trachenberg Plan, which was the successful blueprint for victory during the Leipzig Campaign. But, it was at Leipzig that those same Saxons, over whom Bernadotte was disgraced, that deserted over to Karl XIV Johan's Army, en masse that fatally compromised the French line on the last day of the battle. Funny how things work out.

Gen Lasalle was a hussar himself, a light cavalry body whose recklessness was proverbial (not only in battle).

The policy of Tsarist Russia just did not make sense, keep 2 strong neighbourgs (Prussia and Austria) at their borders. Russia supported Prussia and Austria in the Napoleonic wars, helped Austria against Hungarian rebels who wanted independance, did nothing to prevent Prussia for uniting with other German states...

Thank you so much for posting these episodes. I'm watching these documentary like I used to watch WW2 series on NatGeo! Finally came the Battle of Wagram! I've been waiting for this episode since the start of the series, because there isn't much info or visual documentary about the battle. Can't wait for the next episode!

Thank you, glad you're enjoying the series! Back to Spain for the next episode.

This is such a high quality video, from the editing in music to the quality of the voice it is so good! This is like TV worthy content

Hey just a suggestion could you do the Finnish war and how Sweden lost Finland to Russia (Not many youtubesrs have taken interest in that particular part of history and it would be so cool if you guys could make it happen) and of course great video

Congratulations to history Marche and Epic history for an amazing video as usual.

Your series on the Napoleonic wars is incredible...please keep making more, so many incredible battles during that decade. Napoleon's genius was unrivaled in European history. 👍👏👏

Napoleon was brilliant militar but a genius not really, just he born during the absolutist many kingdoms taken very stupid decitions in the war for the whim of the king, at the final were the general whose take the majory of the decistions in the battle then napoleon was defeated.

@@mexicoxv2236 honestly dude just stop. You definently are not the guy to talk about Napoleon. Trust me, youre not. Thats all im gonna say. And just so you dont think of me as some pompous douche, one advice... Go read Andrew Roberts, Napoleon the Great or Zamoyski. You'll find some clarity. Dont live off KZread, youre not learning anything and you look like a dolt. Go read actual books.

Great work Epic History! I like and appreciate the fact that you take your time with these videos to make sure quality content is delivered. Waiting for French Invasion of Russia or Peninsular Wars next ;)

i missed the old thumbnails but the new ones represent the battlefield more than the dramatised paintings. still great!

I love the voice, the videos, everything from this channel is perfect. 😍

"Bernadotte, you'll always be my loyal Marshall, won't you?" "Bernardotte, who's that? I'm Charles XIV".

Shame there are so few videos, but the quality is outstanding. Kudos to you m8!

As usual an excellent video about a brutal part of history. Excellent Narration... Another battle we never learned about in school.

Thx for another great ep!

I hope you enjoy the latest episode of our Napoleon series!

Well, when i'm not a student anymore and I actually have an income, my god am I gonna support on Patreon. This kind of shit would blow most tv documentaries out of the water. Inspiring stuff, can't wait to see you cover other topics after Napoleon.

I've never been so eager for a video to be released as if it was a TV series episode.

Amazing content, been waiting 4 this one for a while. 👌👍

Brilliant material delivery, much appreciated!

Great work as always. Hard to imagine the scale of those Napoleonic battles. It would be great if you could give us the size of the battlefield.

@@EpichistoryTv What ? Staggering !

Amazing video yet again I learned a lot about the Napoleonic time thanks to this channel's Napoleon series. It would be amazing if you could cover the battle of Nations one day (Leipzig 1813) :D

Love the videos! I was wondering in future videos if you could put a map scale on the bottom right of videos so it’s easier to grasp the size of the battles?

Your animated battles are top quality. I wish you would do some American Civil War Campaigns.

10:24 wow what a compliment to his austrian foes

another epic crossover, you two are the best! I also love this narrator

Magnificent, superb work. If the Emperor had had two like you he would have conquered the waves. Congrats!

This was the most costly Campaign for Napoleon in terms of the number of high skill commanders lost. Saint-Hilaire, Lasalles, Espagne and Lannes dead. Bernadotte turned into an enemy and Massena retires in anger and disgust, never to be the same again. Each of theese men would be imposible to replace. Mcdonald, Oudinot and Marmont although brave,competent and energenic could not replace the sheer skill that was now gone.

Very true, not that mean people mention how many talented men fought their last battle at their best. Bernadotte was popular among the troops but he wasn't a genius strategist, his defection didn't hurt as bad. Still Napoleon had some talent under him, Saint Cyr, Suchet, Gerard, Vandamme, Kellerman (the son), Davout, many more no wonder the French were so good. They had the best men leading
