ASMR The Age of Napoleon (history, map tracing, soft spoken)

Small man, much chaos! Let's have a look at the changes Napoleon brought to the European continent and specifically at the developments he triggered in the former Holy Roman Empire.
I hope you like this exploration of history! I noticed I forgot to mention the disappearance of Poland on the last map which wasn't intentional - I got a little carried away with the other topics...
As always, this video is soft spoken and contains educational content on history to help you relax and sleep. The book is called "Die Napoleonischen Kriege", by Gunther Rothenberg.

Fun fact: Napoleon was actually average height (avrage height in the 1800 was 167 cm and napoleon was 1,68 so he was above average)

[@MelangeASMR]

How weird, why does everyone think he was tiny?

​@@MelangeASMR Napoléon était plus grand que le roi d Angleterre, mais la propagande et la fausse information anglaise et leurs haine contre Napoléon ont fait entrée cette idée recu en Europe.

[@ThePieIsNotALie]

​@@MelangeASMRApparently his guards were required to be over 6ft, so he probably looked short next to them.

[@orbtastic]

@@ThePieIsNotALie Add the height of the hats too, they probably looked close to 6'6" tall. I'm not sure about 6', it was more like 5'8" which was well above average for the time.

Wonderful presentation. Wish I had a History teacher like you back in the day. Your soft spoken ASMR and video productions really enable good digestion of information. Look forward to how both the French and Austro-Hungarian Empires evolved from where you left off. Great stuff - Thank You.

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh man we had a very soft spoken history teacher who went through all of history in the same chill manner. They were great lessons for a bit of relaxation inbetween, but I never felt like I learned all that much haha. Thank you for your lovely feedback, as always :)

[@PixelEchoCreations]

It would certainly be pleasant, but would have to add a coffee to quota.

[@parryyotter]

I’m a history teacher with a love for European history, and I love ASMR videos, so this could not be more up my alley if you tried 😂 I watched your Celtic culture video last night and was trying hard to stay awake because I love Celtic history, but I passed out. I appreciate your channel a lot! A lot of history/informational-based ASMR channels I have come across are male-run, and men’s voices tend to give me anxiety, so your channel fulfills a very specific niche!

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey, thank you, I really like your comments! I'm glad I can provide something in that small niche for you - and I hope you sleep very, very well 😊

[@parryyotter]

@@MelangeASMR I really thank you! Your channel has become my go-to for sleep, when I’m stressed out and need to calm down, and for relaxing background noise while I do work. 💜

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Love it!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, that means a lot!

I am Korean. It's a shame that I can't watch without subtitles because I don't understand English, but thanks to your good pronunciation, I can watch the video well because the automatic translation is good. Your voice helps me relax my mind and body. Thank you!🥰

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much, I'm delighted to hear that the translation works that well! 💖

[@lazyasmr688]

History is one of my favorite topics! Very relaxing and creative!

[@lloydy68]

The videos on your channel are so informative, I learn something every time I watch one of these ..... and with a strong ASMR feel, it's perfect.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you for your kind words, that's really wonderful to hear!

[@NathanASMR]

Wow, I somehow just found your channel and I was blown away. I'm a huge fan of informative/educational ASMR and this was really well done. I loved the maps, and book pages turning. I am going to be binging your videos now and I have a few other ASMR friends who I think would really enjoy your work. Look forward to your next video!

[@MelangeASMR]

Hi Nathan, thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear you're much enjoying my videos - and also that I get to discover your channel. You have a fantastic voice for ASMR, plus with the old maps... Do I need to say more haha, you obviously got yourself a new fan!

[@NathanASMR]

@@MelangeASMR Same here and likewise! Its rare to find other informative ASMRtists and I'm so glad that I found your channel! I'll be sharing with a few friends as well.

I basically can’t sleep without putting on one of your videos. You’re a gift from heaven 💞

This is seriously top notch

[@LoFIJak]

It's so hard not to fall asleep but I'm also enjoying learning haha

[@MelangeASMR]

Haha yeah, I always end up watching lectures in bits of 5 to 10 min over a week because I just drift off. Hope you had a good night's sleep!

[@nintendno6665]

I just to almost fall asleep in history class every single time so mixed with asmr, this should knock me out

[@MelangeASMR]

Excellent, good night and sleep well!

ASMR and History, wonderful.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you ☺

[@shivershins3730]

Very interesting!

[@bgump55]

Fascinating topic, very complex but you distilled it nicely. My daughter rides Arabians, I had no idea the French war horses of the time were Arabians. As I said, fascinating!

[@MelangeASMR]

Ooh wow, Arabians are so gorgeous! I used to go horseriding as a kid and we once had a half-Arabian in the stable - I was smitten. Thank you!

[@marish-m]

I love your videos! It’s really nice combination of great quality asmr and educational value. A little sad you didn’t explain what happened to Napoleon in Russia, how russians burned Moscow in order to not give it away to French and about big battle of Borodino. Good luck with your channel!

[@MelangeASMR]

Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, I didn't feel like that was very relaxing info haha. Obviously history is not all sunshine and rainbows, but for the sake of ASMR, I feel it's appropriate to make some editorial decisions. Though of course, that's mostly my sensitivities and everyone's line will be a little different.

[@stephengoodchild8833]

Really interesting, perhaps you could do a follow up as to how the modern Austrian state came into being.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! I might do something like that, though probably not a comprehensive look at Austrian history. There's some parts that I feel aren't too suited for an ASMR format lol...

[@innerlight6430]

You have a great channell here. glad i found you

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you so much!

[@eschsoapy2809]

Melange, would you consider maybe doing an ASMR like this, but about Maria Theresa? I've only read a little about her but she seems to be quite an interesting (and terrifying) person.

[@MelangeASMR]

Yes! Habsburgs have been requested a few times, I just haven't come around to it, but Maria Theresia is high on my list :)

A few years before, Corsica was genoese. In fact the Republic of Genoa gave the Island to French because they couldn't pay for the help of french to win against the corsican revolt. How could history change if Corsica remain under Genoa? Maybe a genoese Napoleon would unificate Italy under him?

What about Corsica ? It's also in France Corsica. Napoléon and his family are not Italian but Corsican

I hate him. He had an enormous amount of works of art and artifacts of all kinds stolen in Italy, some of which have not even been returned. For example, more than 2000 pages of Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts were looted from the oldest library in my city, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana of Milan, and are still in Paris.

[@MelangeASMR]

Yeah, I get the sentiment! He didn't exactly grow on me when I was reading up on his ploys for the video lol.
