At the Battle of the Nile, the British squadron slipping around to the shoreward side of the French line was the coup de grace. Each French ship had to muster the entire crew to man the guns on both sides to fight two opponents at once, while the British ships could consolidate their best men on one side of the ship. For a multitude of reasons, this means that they could fire faster and more accurately, and their shots were twice as likely to injure an enemy sailor while passing through the French gundeck (since the ball and splinters could also hit the French sailors fighting the opposite side). That possibility was why the French anchored close to the shore - they didn't want to be surrounded. But the British managed it anyway.

[@glasscardproductions4736]

And that's why our motto at the time was 'Rule The Waves'. It's changed, but it was kinda fun while it lasted. (Besides the atrocities, of course)

[@Wolfeson28]

That's exactly why the French anchored close to shore. They thought they were close enough to the shore and some shoals at the head of their line to make it impossible for the British to get around them...but the more experienced British saw that there was actually just enough of a gap to get in. So the French were completely unprepared to man the guns on their landward sides (there are stories of some French ships having those guns blocked by piled-up stores), and the British ships that went around that side were almost uncontested at first. Plus many French ships had portions of their crew ashore foraging for supplies at the time, so they were even more undermanned. Lastly, because the French line was anchored and the British attacked starting from the windward end, the (initially) unengaged French ships at the other end were powerless to help their comrades, and the British had massive local superiority at each point as they moved down the French line.

Religious authority was not merely subordinate to secular authority under the Ottomans. The Ottoman Sultan also held the title of "Caliph", meaning they claimed to be the highest religious authority for all of Islam.

[@mahmoudnaeem7552]

Not exactly. Islam is a little decentralized compared to let's say catholicism. The caliph is supposed to hold a civil (i will use instead of secular) power that is driven by religious forces, and in return, he is expected to enforce the word of law which doesn't alway coincide with religious views. In some cases, the ruler is to do as he sees right. Religious views and laws on the other hand are contructed by scholars which can vary not only from a region to another but from a scholar to another. So by the time of the ottomans, the prevelance of some views over others were steered by the rulers who, again by the time of ottomans, were largely civil monarchs.

[@dominicguye8058]

@@mahmoudnaeem7552 yes, this makes more sense, because I remember reading about revolts in the Abbasid Caliphate resulted in Caliphs losing a lot of their religious authority. This was even before they lost their political authority

Yeah, Muslim here. When you are an egocentric Sultan, a violent savage that can't even respect the Qu'ran right and also doing forced assimilation...Well you're kinda elligitimate. If the Companions were still alive, he would never be caliph.

[@anderskorsback4104]

Well, a Caliph doesn't have religious authority per se. A caliph is meant to be a community leader, provide Pan-Islamic leadership on political, secular matters. A Caliph isn't a cleric, he doesn't have the authority to decide matters of theological or moral controversy. As in, a Caliph can call the faithful to war, but can't determine if something is halal or haram, or whether the Quran is co-eternal with God.

@@homelessjesse9453 He tried, emphasis on tried, his Mediterenean fleet combined with the Spanish Navy could only allow him to attain locally an equal number of ships manned by inexperienced sea men. Had they been able to evade Nelson, and succesfully broken the blockades of the Atlantic ports of France and then united with the other half of the French navy. They'd have been able to achieve local superiority with Nelson, which could've won him victory on the seas, instead we had the battle of Trafalgar. Even a close victory, or no battle at all, for the French would've allowed for a lot more strategic flexibility, and after Austerlitz and Jena-Auerstedt, he very well could've focused on his naval forces against Britain, allowing him to build up a larger navy, train his crews to be less inferior, and to combine with other allied navies. Allowing for a local supriority in numbers that could've easily broken the British, he could've either blockaded them, gone for an invasion, or simply threaten the British into a favourable peace. He likley would've also avoided two of his biggest mistakes, the continental system, that weakened his empire more than the British and forced the Russians to break their alliance, since he'd have less need for an unorthodox attack, and the occupation of Spain, since Spain would've been a more valuable ally.

[@Hypernefelos]

Before the French Revolution, the French navy was on par with the British one, which is one reason why Britain lost the American War of Independence. But French naval officers were predominantly royalists or outright nobles, so they were purged after the revolution. The resulting lack of quality in personnel, which included putting an end to gunnery training while retaining a doctrine of aiming for enemy masts, which are very hard to hit, could not be overcome by simply constructing more ships. There were deep systemic issues that would have had to be resolved.

[@Raisonnance.]

Don't worry, the french I am always try to understand this too. I don't understand why with all the war reparations he didn't just made a huge fleet. No blockade. Just a giant fleet funded with all the war réparations of the treaties combined with all foreign navies required under french command. Britain would have stand no chance again such fleet of hundred and hundred ship of the line.

[@InnesMorrison]

fleets are expensive, they were under a close blockade, all the materials to build the ships had to be moved by sea, you can't train a fleet when its blockaded in port, the French didn't have the infrastructure to build ships as fast as the British and above all else the army was more important.

Napoleon’s attitude toward religion would change later in his life. Perhaps humbled by his final exile, Napoleon reconciled with the Catholic Church; and Pope Pius VII-whom Napoleon once held hostage-still cared about his former kidnapper and sent a priest for his spiritual wellbeing on St. Helena. Near the end of his life, when one of his generals questioned Napoleon about religion and Christ’s divinity, the ex-Emperor responded by saying: “I know men, and I tell you Jesus Christ was not merely a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and other religions the distance of infinity. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and myself founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon sheer force. Jesus Christ alone founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men will die for Him.” Even though he was spiritually indifferent for most of his life, Napoleon recounted his First Communion as the happiest day of his life. He would receive the Holy Eucharist again for the final time shortly before passing away. Not even a manipulative warmongerer and egotist is beyond the Divine Mercy.
