Napoleons Waterloo Campaign (1815)
After Napoleon would return from exile in Elba he would immediately have to turn his attention to the powers of the Seventh Coalition. Thus believing he could win a quick victory would attack Wellington's Anglo-Allied Army near Waterloo.

Very good use of animated maps and other visuals combined with succint commentary.
The army of the South (defence against Austrians) was commanded by Marshal Suchet, arguably one of Napoleon's more independent and decent Marshals.
Actually seeing the various units in motion makes the choices made so much clearer
Minor issue maps innaccuracies but good video overall
Great video
Awesome vid
Excellent work! Hope to see you improve and continue.
Tip: do one on the failed Russian campaign and make the thumbnail art a super high quality combination of stock images or a drawing or a painting of napoleon crossing the rhine or something. People love that campaign.

Thanks for the idea!
Napoleon failure was not to keep that original plan. He should confronted Blücher at Wavre not Wellington in Waterloo and add Grouche to his force.

Wellington could have left Waterloo and come Blücher helping against Napoleon but then Grouche would be on Napolleons side aswell. And then it would be a 50-50 chance. I would bet my money on Napoleon. Today we would talk about his victory at Wavre

@@maxschon7709 It is, of course, all what if but I do not think Wellington could have moved that diverse allied force faster than Napoleon could have finnished Blucher, who was (Initially) running East (Away from Wellington). It was a classic Napoleonic movement by interior lines. Then Napoleon blew it (In my estimation) when he abandoned this tactic, divided his forces in the face superior numbers and gave Blucher an opportunity to regroup, while at the same time, afforded Wellington the opportunity to fight a defensive battle (His forte, as demonstrated in Spain). I know the stories of treachery among some of the French officers. I consider them plausible but unproven. Napoleon, on the other hand, lost this battle the moment he eased the pressure on Blucher (In my opinion).
Hello ! what are you using for make videos like that ? units, movements, flags with generals...

Combination of photoshop for maps and graphics and davinci resolve for the animation
Hannibal and Napoleon both lost the war. But unlike Hannibal, Napoleon is remembered by battles he lost.
Waterloo is just where they signed the papers
