The Napoleonic Wars (PARTS 1-6)
The Napoleonic Wars (1803 – 1815) brought upheaval and destruction to Europe on an unprecedented scale. This is the story of the first half of those wars, when Napoleon Bonaparte, self-crowned Emperor of the French, ruled supreme on the battlefield and international stage – the greatest man of his age. But in the midst of victory, the seeds of his eventual downfall were sown.
This video is a compilation of the first six episodes of Epic History TV’s Napoleonic Wars series.

The lack of archival footage holds it back a bit. 4/5
Nice 👍
Listening to this won't make you any taller
I only came just to see this vid for 5 mins, but here I am at 2:47 am watching this video.
A masterpiece video, keeps me excited from the start to the end. 10/10.
God, Bernadotte is the total Black Sheep/outcast/loafer of the Marshals. Slow at Aurestadt, his men losing dispatches in Poland; it's amazing he retained enough of a rep to get the Swedish Crown. Although perhaps they knew his discontent with Napoleon and thought he'd turncoat during war against his former brothers; and do so with inside information. *Note, I have not read much about Bernadotte's ascendancy to the throne and the machinations behind it, so it's likely everything I just wrote is not true!
This is why I love history
another zionist war
