Napoleon - The Deadly Emperor of Europe

Was Napoleon the greatest conqueror ever? What do we know about him?
He was the man who established the First French Empire. To the French people he was a hero. To the French royalty he was their demise. Napoleon Bonaparte was a scourge to European leaders, but the countries he conquered joined a vast empire spanning from Spain into Russia.
Along with his control over Europe, Napoleon Bonaparte conquered territories in the West Indies, Americas, and Northern Africa. Napoleon may have been the greatest conqueror history has ever seen.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born on August 15, 1769 on Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Just before his birth the island of Corsica was conquered by French forces, making baby Napoleon and his family subjects of King Louis XV.

Napoleon didn’t just sell Louisiana because of the British navy. He also lost the Haitian revolution which cost him a lot of money, he then sold Louisiana.

[@unpseudopascommelesautres997]

both actually. Haiti was supposed to be a foothold for a further french invasion. indeed the loss of haiti was an hard one for France. Beside the loss of haiti, the british ruling the sea was a real problem. And not to talk about the fact that british controled canada and could so easily launch invasion from canada to french louisiana

Napoleon was a brilliant general, but his inability to settle for anything other than complete control of Europe is what led to his downfall.

[@padregaming8930]

Actually it was the other European powers that always declared war on him and he would always beat them except for his invasion of Russia that was his downfall but after his exile he returned and asked for peace but every country declared war on him again which led to his defeat at Waterloo

Napoleon terrified his enemies so much they resorted to pathetic insults about his height.

[@Empereur1789]

The video is a bit tainted by the UK point of view, even if mostly okay, two things are not accurante in this video : By 1805 Napoléon was indeed planning to invade the UK because they actually broke the treaty of Amiens of 1802 by refusing to free Malta like they promised. Pitt the Young was wishing the return of the war which happened in 1803 by a new declaration of war from him. Napoléon moved his armies to the east before Trafalgar because Bavaria and Baden - actual allies of France - were invaded by Austria because the UK actually payed Austrians and Russians to declare war on France. Why did the UK pay these empires for a war? To occupy the french on the continent in the case where the french could cross the channel (if Trafalgar had been a victory). A bit different than "Napoleon wanted to submit Europe" ;) ! + Nope, Napoléon did not declare war on any country in 1815, instead the UK and its allies declared him as ennemy of the humanity, it's the litteral title they gave him. Napoléon was not marching on Wellington for conquering land, he was trying to separate the british and the prussian armies because together they outnumbered his forces, just like the 700 000 men who were marching on France by 1815. Napoléon was not a diplomat, but there is a bias in the video even if slight bias.
