By this time years of campaigning, poor food, stress, and various ailment had taken a terrible toll on Napoleon. At times his ailments were so serious that he would need to rest in the middle of battle and pass command to his subordinates. At the Battle of Jena his guard had to form a protective square while he napped. The same thing happened at Borodino. Having an actor that's twenty years too old at this point doesn't bother me. If this guy played him during Napoleon's first Italian campaign then I'd be pissed.

Napoléon and Davout weren't in good terms after Napoleon started to make basic attacks in battlefield. In Russia (Borodino), Davout wanted to attack to the left flank as he used to in Wagram, Austerlitz and Heylau. Napoleon prefered attacked straight in front. They were often in contest with each other so Napoleon takes him away as often as he could. Napoleon said in his memorial : Murat (for cavalry), Berthier (Soult didn't do well replacing him) and Bessiere (for imperial gards) were missing at Waterloo. But despite that, a lot of good generals were also missing for the 100 jours.

These guys didn't have to walk from New Jersey to the UK and back, or witness tons of their friends being decapitated by canon balls, eating terrible food or not eating at all, walking around in your wool suit in mid summer, etc, etc. I think 90% of all people glorifying Napoleon, Alexander, etc, would drop out after a week of being in their armies.

I find Bertier to be fascinating because he served in the American Revolution as a junior officer during the Battle of Yorktown. He was known as Napoleon's best staff officer and if that is him speaking he certainly is showing his talent. He didn't seem to have much luck as a field commander, but I think Napoleon missed him during his attempt to take back power. He was killed or accidentally fell from a balcony before he could join Napoleon during the Hundred Days.

Napoleon said he would not make the same mistake as Charles ll did 100 years before, that of seeing his limits and turning south to supply the army and reach Moscow from a Southerly route but rather Napoleon would PRESS ON into a waiste land only to capture a burning warehouse. Napoleon found himself in the same situation in Moscow as Charles Xll at Smolensk, a hungry army with no supplies and winter comming on. Horse meet would not last long and with no bread death was certain. A General who has won several victories but only lost a few can see he has done well. But when he has not feed his army for even a week he faces disastor for hunger does not go over and the army soon melts into the ground from starvation. Napoleon had no choice but to retreat if he was to save any part of The Grand Army. Perhapes he thought he could beat the winter and reach Smolensk in time.
@m60a3tts2 Жыл бұрын
One odd thing about the scene at the end is when Napoleon says they will march to Kaluga because Kutuzov is there. That is not why he marched the army in that direction. He did it because the route the Grand Armee had taken to Moscow had been picked clean and they needed fresh lands on which they could forage on their way back west. For his part, Kutuzov would have wanted battle with Napoleon, because time was running short before winter began and any significant delay for Napoleon reaching winter quarters would prove fatal.

@@justinian-the-great a murky episode, but "official accounts" cite a window as his last known position ante mortem. I would very much like to have a look at this series in its entirety as I tend to find English speaking tv/movies are rather limited and kinda biased in the anti French opposition's favour. Throughout the Consulate and Empire periods, France rarely was first to declare war and primarily fought wars of defence. This "second polish" campaign which culminated in the capture of Moscow was just an extension of previous wars; the only way to defeat GB (later UK) was to introduce a restriction on imports from that country. Britain had the raw materials (eminating from its colonies) and the manufacturing capability (made in GB), what it needed was markets. Napoleon sought to curtail this with the introduction of the continental system, Russia through dire economic necessity broke this and openly traded with GB. Napoleon needed to rectify and invaded in 1812...the rest is history.

schizoidboy Our logical effort was very successful we built massive supply bases around the country that supplied our troops wherever they were, even in the most remote parts of the country. Our Strategic bombing campaign intended to sap NVA/VC supply and unit movements was a frustratingly inefficient. Our ground strategy to rack up a “body count” and to destroy the main NVA/VC (Battalion, Regimental,Brigade, and Division sized) units was a failure due to the enemies uncanny ability to vanish into the mountain, jungles, and swamps typically they would also cross the neutral borders of Laos or Cambodia. One of our biggest failures of the war was the Chu Hoi program which would relocate peasant farmers to massive plots to better concentrate their populations so they wouldn’t be within communist influences created even more mistrust and overall worsened our relationship with the local communities and people. A corrupt South Vietnamese government was a constant issue that complicated relations as well. 2 Men I believe are to be blamed for our military effort failures they also in a certain capacity are to blame for our political failures in Vietnam to. They are William Westmoreland and Robert McNamara, but saying that from the benefit of hindsight isn’t necessarily a good argument. Anyhow the War in Vietnam was unnecessary and very very unfortunate, and even today as far as strategy we are still making the same mistakes. That is my short take on the war.

There were a few methods; the French had an interesting advantage with their novel telegraph system - a series of towers relaying coded messages - developed by Claude Chappé as far back as 1793. Napoléon expanded it and a message that would normally take a rider days could be delivered in *hours* . Other nations tried to copy it with varying success. In Russia, it became a difficult setting up a mobile version across the Russian plains. So the French had a way to deliver *simple* messages over long distances. There were of course hand-delivered written messages that had a clever safeguard against enemy interception; soldiers could eat it or carry it in the barrel of a loaded pistol, firing and destroying it if they encountered an enemy. Often two copies of important messages were sent. Napoléon was also demanding on forms and paperwork; precision was key. Even the Marshals of France - the most powerful men of France - could have their pay docked for filling out a form incorrectly.

What was going on in Spain at this time? If Napoleon was in Russia, then how could he keep Spain under control?
@PRubin-rh4sr3 ай бұрын
If I recall right, he had several Marshals, their armies and his brother King Joseph in Spain. They eventually get pushed back to France but at the time the Allies are closing in to Paris anyways.

@@hunter371 Yes but they're playing English people speaking in English. If we're going to be totally accurate by your exacting standards, no one should play a character in a foreign language as it isn't an accurate representation. An accent is even more laughable. The only solution is to ban people from playing Napoleon, Stalin, any historical figure etc. from the entire English speaking world, unless they're fluent in French or Russian and are also excellent at the respective dialects too...

Con otros jefes habría ganado en Waterloo? Hipótesis cuando menos temeraria. Ligny fue ganado por Ney pero no explotó el triunfo; Quattre Bra fue un empate táctico; Wellington cuando niño se dice que conoció Waterloo; Napoleón no tenía idea de cómo era el terreno. Siempre que un contrincante escoge el terreno para pelear lleva la ventaja. Siempre el que defiende, si tiene buenos jefes lleva la ventaja. El que ataca a otro que defiende debe tener suficiente superioridad de fuerzas y de medios para asegurar el triunfo. Napoleón tenía más caballería pero menos infantería que Wellington. Napoleón siempre se caracterizó por ser un buen administrador de la artillería, pero en Waterloo, disparando en elevación y en un terreno todavía encharcado, llevaba las de perder. Finalmente, aún suponiendo un triunfo de Napoleón, no se debe olvidar que dos ejércitos austríaco y uno ruso se aproximaban a lo lejos (uno de los de Austria venía subiendo por Italia). Lejos el peor error de Napoleón fue invadir la Rusia de Aleksander (extraño en un hombre que sabía mucho de geografía y de historia universal).

Napoleon's plan for the invasion of Russia was pretty brainless. Obviously, his intent was not to conquer it but to force Alexander t keep to the Continental System, but in a scenario like this, you either go all in or not at all. Nappy should have made an alliance with the Finns and the Ottomans, enemies of Imperial Russia, and only invaded to Smolensk that year. Then he should have rebuilt his logistics and invaded the rest the next year. Or gone right for Saint Petersburg instead, not...Moscow? What? Chasing Kutuzov forever into the interior when it should have been obvious to him to stop pursuing the dude. And his battle plan for Borodino was bizarre. And so he lost most of his army before he even got to Moscow. But this Napoleon had fallen victim to his own legend. He was no the same commander of five or ten years earlier. He still had it in him, however, as the astonishing Six Days' Campaign of 1814 demonstrated.
