[@ersikillian]

Excellent video! I would like to make a couple of points. Napoleon, being first and foremost an artillery office, made an important modification to cannon barrel construction. He noticed that the primertube, which is usually made of brass or copper (sometjmes even hollow quills) are blown out of the vent hole during firing, usually with much force. Occasionally, depending on the angle of the barrel, the spent primertube would hit one of the artillery men, usually in the face causing severe wounds, even to the point of losing an eye. He recommended that , when drilling the hole for the vent, instead of making it a perpendicular 90 degree hole to the bore, simply angle the drilling forwards a few degrees. This way, the spent primer tube is blown forwards of the gun, keeping the crew safer. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it did cut down in needless injuries. The other point was his preference for bronze cannon. Cast iron is fragile. If the gun is dropped on a hard surface it could crack internally. Also, they are subject to over heating (like all guns) and if you attempt to cool them down by quenching with water, it changes the crystal structure of the iron causing a weakness which will lead the cannon to explode. This happened at Fort Ticonderoga. Bronze, though it's expensive has no such problems. They are extremely safe and rugged; with very little maintenance. They almost never explode, with one notable exception. During the American Civil War, a metal foundry in the Confederacy turned out such poor quality bronze cannon, that nobody wanted to crew them. They exploded frequently.

Hollow quills? Not by this point, perhaps the Russians were making those.

For Five years Napoleon attended military schools after boarding school. He attended three schools: Autun aged 9? (where he spent three months and learnt sufficient French to enter military college), the military college at Brienne (where he studied for five years) and the military academy of Paris (1 year). Napoleon was trained as an Artillerist. It was his specialty. He officially entered the French Army at the age of 15 in October of 1784 when he entered Ecole Militaire in Paris as an artillerist. In 1785, at the age of 16, Napoleon graduated from the Ecole Militaire and became a Second Lieutenant in the French Army for artillery. The siege of Toulon was his first battle. Napoleon's greatest victory in my opinion was Austerlitz. December 2nd, 1805. What a soldier he was. That was Napoleon, a professional soldier. Like him or hate him, that's what he was. A successful, intelligent, gifted professional soldier. He had a good run regardless of the eventual outcome. OF course the Grande Armee at the time was outstanding, the best in all of Europe. Napoleon implemented the corps system and refined it. The Grande Armee was created from a 100,000 man force that was previously intended for the canceled invasion of Great Britain. He also had an outstanding number of talented, dependable Field Marshals. On 4 and 6 April 1814, at Fontainebleau, the marshals Ney, Lefebvre, Macdonald and Moncey put pressure on Napoleon to agree to abdicate due to the failed War of the Sixth Coalition. Some historians consider that this was a betrayal. Napoleon was exiled to Elba but 'escaped' and returned to France on February 26th, 1815. Generals Bertrand, Drouot, and Pierre Cambronne, and a force of 600 Imperial Guardsmen of various Regiments (the Barbary Pirates were still active at this time) went with him facilitated his return. (They were joined later by Marshal Berthier’s Aide de Campe, General Charles-Tristan de Montholon.) At Frejus, where Napoleon was to take ship to Elba (the Frigate, HMS Undaunted) he was joined by his sister Pauline. Napoleon’s ‘Mamluk’, Roustam and his valet, Constant, proved ‘inconstant’, and absconded. Napoleon left France with a treasury of 489,000 Francs, to enable him to ‘rule Elba as a monarch. This was supplemented by his treasurer, Peyrusse, sending 2.6 million Francs, and his second wife, Marie-Louise, sending 911,000F One of Napoleon’s abilities was his excellent memory. Upon landing at Portoferraio, Napoleon was met by the expected Guard, and cries of ‘Vive l’Empereur!’. At this point, he spotted and recognised a Sergeant in the crowd. He had given this man the Cross of the Legion d’Honneur for his bravery at Eylau in 1807. Thus the road to Waterloo called the 100 days or the War of the Seventh Coalition. June 18th, 1815 the Battle of Waterloo was fought.

You should have used other battles (which incidentally were Napoleon’s victories) to illustrate your words on his strategy, which used also speed and cavalry.

US Civil War cannons are named for Napoleon the THIRD. Not Napoleon Boneparte. During the Crimea war US Observers, like McClellan, observed the French bronze cannons. France was then under N3rd. So when they started making those cannon in the USA they named it Napoleon... for N3rd.

[@MajorCoolD]

Yeah thanks for pointing that out. This immediarly irked me in this video that they wrote Napoleon wrong on more than one occasion and that they threw the Napoleon cannon together with the 'original' Napoleon making it sound like he designed the cannon. While he was a brilliant battlefield commander and knew how to organize his staff and inspire his men, I dont think he was an outstanding engineer in and by himself. And while he influenced and modernized the organisation of Artillery and it's deployment on the battlefield, he didnt design any cannons.

The Total War video game taught me that it is usually better to have many small armies instead of one big army which costs too much and can only be at one place at a time. I believe Bonaparte is the best Total War player that has ever lived.

[@1989gibbi]

Not in my experience. And I've been playing Total war for years. I build multiple full-sized armies but I only ever have one in the field and then you get a moment. The rest I keep in settlements where they don't cost as much to maintain. It's only when they are on the March that they cost a lot of money. Then I use the army in the field to take settlements and defeat other armies. And if my army is defeated then I can take one of my reserve armies out of the settlements and attack whichever army defeated mine because they will not have enough time to recover. You can also disperse your individual units between settlements but within range of each other so that you can bring them all together to form one large army. And never ever lay siege. You take the settlement or you don't bother. Sieges last too long and your army is still in the field costing you money

[@evanneal4936]

Play EU 4 or other paradox games. They're more realistic than total war (albeit without live battles, but 1. That's total wars whole area of expertise and is copyrighted, 2 it's worth simulated battles for the realistic game mechanics.) Tws campaign map and game mechanics are just too underwhelming and boring for me, as someone who already mastered tws highest difficulties.

[@evanneal4936]

If you defeat the enemy army all at once in a pitched battle, then yes, you can and should just siege the regions instead of attacking them because you won't lose any soldiers to depletion while waiting for a siege. if you have time, but you must make sure that you thoroughly defeat ALL their main fieled troops. Usually, they will accept unconditional surrender terms if you beat a large army in the field near the settlement. But if you can't beat their armies first, then yeah, like he said, don't wait for a siege, Just conquer it immediately if possible. But if you stomp the enemy, just wait because they need time to recover anyway. Also, while sieging, your units cost the same upkeep as when garrisoned in a settlement if they haven't moved this turn and because of the hidden game mechanics of "pillaging" and how supply lines actually work, also building forts is a good idea, they essentially act like settlements, allowing lower maintenance, cheaper recruitment, and significant defensive bonuses while preventing the enemy from moving nearby until its taken, also effects zone of control, sight range, etc. These are hidden game mechanics that apparently this other guy does not know about. (It's possible that these mechanics are only in the old games like medieval 2 or napoleon or Empire, not sure about the new ones as the mentioned ones are the only ones I play) Hope this helps as well. In the older games I mentioned, I literally know everything about the game mechanics, and I know how to use them to exploit the game and win on very hard every time. Some call it "cheating," I call it being a genius who uses the game rules to beat the game instead of as restrictions to my playing. Think of it more like taking economics before you invest in the stock market (or being martha stewart, lol). I guarantee you that on the older games (unless they patched or updated them), these tactics work every time. Please try it out for yourself. But please note that if they don't work, it's not because I am wrong but because they patched it or an update removed it. I promise I would not make this up, I'm just really good at exploiting game mechanics. I'm literally just trying to help people.

[@evanneal4936]

I once played a medieval 2 and empire long campaigns respectively on very hard and won without ever actually losing a single field army because of these exploits. However, just because I'm good at video games and exploiting mechanics doesn't mean I'm a real general because war is not like the games. Just because it worked on the game doesn't mean it's really going to work. But I do know and use accurate military battle tactics when I play, so that helps with the realism, I guess.

Uh, no. Gunpowder does not escape out of the cannon after the pricker is used, they pour a little down the vent hole and leave a little bit on top, then when they touch the gunpowder with a lighted "match" stick, it goes "poof" and goes down the vent hole and THEN it ignites the now pricked gun bag.

You're mixing a couple of things here. The "Napoleon gun" used in the American Civil War has nothing to do with Napoleon Bonaparte except the name. It's a US 1857 version of a French field gun designed in 1853, decades after the Napoleonic wars, named "The Emperor's gun" in France and "Napoleon" in the US after the then current emperor of France, Napoleon III.

[@pierretripotin2787]

Napoleon was also a very efficient state ruler : he had the genius of solving complicated problems with simple solutions. One good example is the civil code, called code Napoleon, who is still partly in use in France, and has been a model for many civil codes abroad. Among other Napoleon's creations still in use : the French 'departements' (counties), les lycées (high schools), la comédie française, etc

Hopefully, I'm just wrong, but I seriously appreciate your content! Especially getting to visualize the process of loading a x-pounder napoleon gun. As bronze was so often used, should an experienced crew keep their piece spitting four rounds per minute, the risk of the bronze simply melting down risked making their gun almost as dangerous to themselves as the enemy.

The cannon had the same range as earlier 12-pounders, this being 1,680 yards. Gun howitzers also had an impressive muzzle velocity of 1,485 feet per second.

Napoleon never used such strategy. Is a fact that he splited his army but in frontal confrontation all Corps were reunited to the main confrontation. In the first campaingns his stragy was to encicle the enemy in fast moviments. In the inperial phase, when he was facing a direct confrontation his strategy was deliberate week the flanks to be attacked by the enemy and make a powerfull frontal assalt in the enemy's center.

[@generalsandnapoleon]

Interesting video. Napoleon was indeed a master of maneuver.

[@karlostj4683]

So, Napoleon divides his troops into 4 groups of 2,500 with each facing a group of 5,000. Then Napoleon (somehow) maneuvers 2,000 each from three of the four groups to attack one of the 5,000 with 8,500 and wins. Question: After 2,000 French troops leave their original spots and abandon 500 French troops facing off against the 5,000 enemy troops, why didn't the three enemy groups with a 10:1 advantage simply wipe out the three French groups that were now severely depleted?

[@Queenbg1]

Probably his defense is also very good, which allows him to hold 10:1 disadvantage for a certain amount of time. Second guess is that this is some how hidden from the enemy eyes or the whole maneuver is so fast that he cannot respond properly.

[@isidroramos1073]

That's the point, right? Consider the Waterloo campaign... Napoleon concentrated roughly 130,000 men in Belgium, leaving much smaller forces facing much stronger enemy armies (Russian, Austrian, German and Italian states, Swiss, Spanish... you name it, I think other than Sweden all of Europe would have invaded France one or two months later) and even so he faced two enemy armies outnumbering him roughly 2:1, and he expected to keep one of them occupied with an smaller force while defeating the other. Both strategically and tactically he relied on smaller forces containing much stronger enemies while he delivered a killing blow with local superiority. And he managed to make this kind of plan work once and again because of two things, first and perhaps most importantly speed; hitting first, hitting hard, keep hitting and moving fast and keeping the enemy unbalanced was essential (remember that any message had to carried by men riding horses and trying to find where the Hell general X and his army had gone since his last report - coordinating the movement of your own forces and knowing where the enemy forces were was HARD) and the other was a clear quality advantage that usually allowed weaker French forces to keep occupied the enemy for some time, avoiding combat if they were too strong, while Napoleon and the main army won a hopefully decisive victory. In other words, the French won while they were able to force their enemy to fight where they were superior while avoiding combat where they themselves were weaker... they not only moved faster and were very aggresive, they also had a general that in his best years was always two steps ahead. Hey, nobody said it was easy... or, as someone said while reviewing a Napoleonic wargame: 'Face facts boys, there was only one Napoleon; and even he managed to screw up in the end'.

It did not work against the British they new about this tactic, so they were made sure every man could fire is musket, via two lines. So instead of the traditional 3 lines which could only bring two thirds of the battalion fire to bear the brits used 100% of their firepower. Also the French used attacking columns that had limited fire power but over whelming numbers, this is why napoleon used his artillery in such a manner, it never worked against he British army. 12 pound cannons were damn hard to move as well but in a static position were deadly.

My history teacher might be wrong, but he said the only ally Napoleon had was Denmark-Norway.

Also fun fact, WW1 was named WW1 (Technically it was named both "The First World War" and "The War to end all wars") because Britain meant "The Great War" should go to the Napoleonic War. Little did they know at the time that WW2 was right around the corner, but at least they predicted that there would be another World War. (I could write an even longer comment about this, explaining more in detail why they chose to call it "The First World War" instead of "The World War" but long story short, it was at first called "The Great War" but since they didn't want to repeat the mistake of calling a war something that couldn't be topped by name, they decided to name it WW1, Just in case a second one happened)

[@williamsoens9973]

Your figures are incorrect. At Waterloo, the French had approx 72,000 troops (mostly infantry, plus a large cavalry contingent). Opposing him were the allies under Wellington, consisting of one third British and two thirds, Belgian, Dutch and Hanoverian (German), totalling 68,000. These were the main two protagonists for the major part of the battle. The 45,000 Prussians arrived on the field late afternoon, early evening. More important than the numbers of men were the numbers of canon, which caused most casualties. Napoleon had 252 large canon, against Wellington's 156. The main thing about modern history, particularly military, is that precise figures were kept.

This Waterloo campaign narrative totally leaves out the earlier Battle of Ligny, where Napoleon defeated the Prussians under Blucher and forced them to head East, away from Waterloo. No one needed to tell Blucher where the French army was on the day of the Battle of Waterloo, because he had just fought that army two days before, and knew the French would take on the British at Waterloo next. Napoleon erroneously thought the Prussians were on their way home after losing at Ligny, but they had doubled back and hit his right flank in the afternoon of the Waterloo fight. With Wellington holding firm at the French front, and Blucher enveloping his right, Napoleon had little choice but to retire.

Wonderful video and as i said before your channel is the best of the best Architecture, engineering and almost everything the educational and the best source for informations and it's wonderful channel & job Thank you so much 🙏😊 Now in my humble opinion Napoleon defeat began from long time before even Waterloo i mean yes he might be the greatest strategists military commander but the most idiot arrogant the world ever known Paranoia and excessive pride blind him from seeing reality and take him to an imaginary world Making many mistakes, the first of which is colonial expansion He made the same mistake as the Roman Empire Rome was unable to maintain this expansion or its colonies, as it was forced to withdraw from them and abandon some of them Because of its inability to continue in those colonies This happened with Napoleon exactly The defeats suffered by the French army led by Napoleon played a decisive role in ending its legend The defeat he suffered on the walls of Acre Castle at the hands of Al-Zahir Al-Omari, the Ottoman ruler of Acre 🇵🇸✌️ And the liberation of Egypt from his grip at the hands of Muhammad Ali Pasha🇪🇬. And The horrific defeat he suffered in Russia 🇷🇺 🐻 led to his complete exhaustion and exhaustion France, resources, and even no ally or friend left that could help him because that Napoleon should be an example and The lesson learned from Napoleon is that no matter the challenges, No matter how big or powerful your enemy is, regardless of your circumstances and abilities Do not lose hope and continue working, putting in effort and resistance 😉👍 thank you so much 🙏

Well explained how blackpowder artillery worked! Less well understood how empires work... The power you exert equals the power of resistance! That is: when realizing the advance of an "empire", the neighbouring powers will combine to check its hegemony... (carthage, rome, china, german empire... any guesses now?)😂

Job well done.

[@Ken-fh4jc]

Good video. Wish you went into Wellington’s part a bit more.

[@zheermuhammad2249]

great video as always, can you make a video about talking about chemical warfare and chemical weapons

[@stedenvideos3825]

Nice work! (An animation of a RR Merlin's super charger and inter-cooler system would be nice. Its what gave a small engine such a big impact in WW2.)

Also the ottomans weren't part of any anti napoleon coalition, they refused to fight alongside Christians and had no reason to fight napoleon.

[@steffenrosmus9177]

The French cannons worked in the same way as the Prussian, British or Russian ones. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A precision: armies were not divided to follow ennemie amies. Logistics of those times allows only to move around 30.000 troups together. It was possible to group more only for a short time. So, it wasn't at all a mistake to divide his troups. But Napoléon was better to organize these mouvements...

[@zhangoliver-r7s]

that strategy is in art of war

[@nonye0]

0:40 he was betrayed by his own soldier who defected on that faithful day? wait a min, is this fact or? because i always thought it was Talleyrand who was the 1

[@ThePerfectRed]

You missed that after firing, the gun will roll like 15 yards back and must be repositioned.

[@rodriguendayishimiye5489]

How Russian empire and Prussia had same flags?

[@Tiger74147]

I'm not sure if the people in the comments even realise this is all AI? Either way, it was incoherent, repetitive, jumped around, gave no context, and didn't actually explain anything about the cannons except how it was loaded/fired. Most of the video wasn't about the cannons at all. This would be much better with real people writing and compiling this story.
