TommyKay Reacts to Oversimplified's video on WW2: • GERMAN REACTS TO WW2! ...
Oversimplified has finally released what we have all been waiting for! He has finally released a video on Napoleon and the Napoleonic Wars. The time period in the late 18th and early 19th century that shaped Europe and created one of the most popular men in history.
Possibly one of the best generals and conquerors in human history as well.
This is a time period Tommy knows nothing about because he hasn't played EU4, March of the Eagles or Victoria 2, so his knowledge is very basic besides watching those Napoleon videos a while back.
Napoleon is many peoples favorite historical figure and how he was able to conquer all of Europe in such a short time period and reach the point where countries are literally declaring war on him as a person is insane.
This is Oversimplified's video on the Napolenic Wars and Tommy's reaction on it. You get to see the German education system at work here!
REMEMBER! This is all educational and for entertainment! We will moderate comments, so behave yourself and keep it educational.

[@toddharig8142]

​@@moiseman Uhm what? Are you seriously suggesting that the 18th and 19th century colonizers had altruistic motives when they conquered and colonized the world? Or are you talking about modern day outsourced labour in poorer countries in the global south? If its the latter then you're still wrong. Companies don't build, its the labourers who build and create. Believe it or not but stuff existed and was created before the concept of companies existed. Not sure why you decided to go full capitalist bootlicker when that wasn't the topic. It is especially funny that you yourself did subconsciously make the connection between colonization and capitalist exploitation without me even bringing it up while in your next breath you defend it. I bet you're gonna make the case that sweatshops are good and that they help poor people and the economy of the global south. This would ignore the fact that Western powers have a history (recent ones at that) of supporting and staging coups in any country that tries to nationalize their natural resources as well as showing a lack of awareness on how we impose extremely unfair trade deals on countries that stand little to no chance of resisting our influence and power. As for direct aid i suggest you look up how they too often are used as weapons to disrupt economies. One example being how Somalian food aid managed to harm farmers and local production. Obviously its more complicated than that but then again its up to you to look it up. Links have a tendency to get comments deleted or shadowbanned so i'll leave you to it. Anyway I digress. Feel free to not respond, I have no interest in prolonged YT arguments where one gets called a loser for leaving the conversation out of sheer frustration/exhaustion.

The reason the allies didn't execute Napoleon was that that would set a precedent that if you defeated a country in war you could execute their monarch which would obviously make a lot of monarchs and nobles very anxious. Back in those days royals rarely faced personal consequences to war they might lose territory, wealth or simple prestige but it would never be their wealth it would never be their own lands that were lost it would just be the dirty peasants who would foot the bill. Monarchs would usually be captured and ransomed back for a lot of money.

Napoleon knew about the fog covering his center at Austerlitz because he had personally reconnoitered the battle field in the previous days. He had seen that early in the morning, the fog lay low in the valley of the stream, and it burned off by about 10-11am. He even predicted the exact course of the battle to his own generals the night before.

[@theeternalsuperstar3773]

14:35 Tommy, you are exactly right. Napoleonic tactics are essentially Beta-Blitzkrieg.

[@TheGaillot]

Blitzkrieg relied a lot on vernichtungkrieg and could not hold many fronts simultaneously or even colossal battlefield. In contrast, napoleons tactic could hold many fronts and didn’t rely on destroying the enemy entirely. Although, yes, they are both quick. But Napoleon only attacks land while Blietzkrig attacks from land and sky. Although, Blietzkrig was invented by a Frenchman, Charles de Gaulle, in the book « La France et son armée, » which proposed this tactic for France. Germany eventually used it against France...

They didn't execute Napoleon because all of them were huge Napoleon fans, he fought all of Europe and won multiple times, even if he was the enemy they had huge respect for how amazing he was on the battlefield. I remember hearing a story somewhere about how when he was exiled in Elba, they had a British ship patrolling around the island to ensure he didn't leave, and the captain was a fan of Napoleon and became friends with him, which helped Napoleon eventually fool him and escape under his watchful eye. You see a similar level of respect in WW2 between British and American generals and their German counterparts, especially with Rommel, one of the American generals was actually quoted as being sad that they missed their chance to fight the legendary Rommel in North Africa when Rommel pulled out.

They actually annexed a lot from France (the early conquests of the Republic), some earlier peace treaty proposed to Napoleon would have actually let him keep more territories.

It is a common misconception, the Versailles treaty was not harsh at all toward Germany.

Germany got treated way more harsher after WW2.

[@starliaghtsz8400]

what napoleon did wasnt really blitzkrieg in the sense of infantry tactics of driving wedges between enemy lines and preparing encirclements, it was similar tho in his innovative artilery usage, basically have your guns really close to the enemy and blast them at point blank range (at the time artilery was usually held far away from the battlefield so they dont get captured cos they were ridiculously expensive)

"What are the stats of Napoleon..." The best general in history.

[@shesh2265]

i hate how tommy did not react at all to Napoleon losing 500 - 600 thousand men because of attrition, he didnt notice it at all.

The crown thing reminds me of Julius Caesar who “refused” to wear the crown when MA offered to put it on his head to show that he wasn’t an “emperor” (although he sort of was lol)

[@michaelsalmon9832]

at 14:11 the russians were under the command of probably the only general who was napoleon's equal at the time; suvorov thankfully for napoleon and unfortunately for the russians he died shortly thereafter but i'm pretty sure he never lost a battle, something not even napoleon could say

Tommykay finally found someone on his level for battle strategy

[@basedkaiser5352]

When you’re French and know more about Frederick The Great than the average German. Seriously wtf ?!

[@Thematic2177]

That's just because you're a simp for Germany.

[@basedkaiser5352]

@@Thematic2177 Not really, I simp for France a lot more, I just think that the word kaiser sounded cool. Other than that I don’t really give a shit about Germany.

They don’t make movies on people like admiral Nelson because the movie would lack diversity.

[@mihneaiordan1813]

Have Nelson be played by a Vietnamese dude

[@sip1375]

"Lack diversity" So what if it's an all-white cast? The only people who give a crap are SJW's, and for all intents and purposes they matter to nothing.

[@gumdeo]

They would make some of them randomly gay.

[@cboyslim5490]

dude i always get "Historian Reacts to" and i fkn love that guy lol also MORE BANNERLORD

[@CadarnTheMad1810]

Hey Tommy, if you want to see what a land battke would look like, highly recommend the film Waterloo, made in the USSR before digital effects it uses the Hungarian Army as troop extras, stars Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plumber as Wellington. Also the old TV series Sharpe is set in Spain at this time in the Peninsular War. If you want to see something on the seas, Hornblower is a series to catch and you may have seen the film Master and Commander Also, this doesn't show a lot of the British action here, but Nelson became famous at the Battle of the Nile and after Napoleon had to abandon his troops in Egypt. One of the reasons the Royal Navy went to Copenhagen was because the Danes had a fleet Napoleon could use, so it was a case of give the fleet to us, or we burn it, Denmark said no, and well, the siege of Copenhagen. Anyway, enjoy if you choose to watch

[@vizo1715]

im sorry but how did Tommy manage to miss the majority of the jokes

[@kilovoltio4259]

Napoleón is a heavy tank III

[@mee8801]

Since Tommy brought up wanting to learn more about heros. I think he should look up the Alamo , it has some pretty crazy stories behind it like how the people who used the cannons took around 12 bullets before dying.
