The Napoleonic Wars (1803 - 1815) brought upheaval and destruction to Europe on an unprecedented scale. This is the story of the first half of those wars, when Napoleon Bonaparte, self-crowned Emperor of the French, ruled supreme on the battlefield and international stage - the greatest man of his age. But in the midst of victory, the seeds of his eventual downfall were sown.
This video is a compilation of the first six episodes of Epic History TV's Napoleonic Wars series.

As a young lad, being a history lover all my life. It was to my great sadness that history seemed to have fallen by the way side on mainstream media, with even the history channel preferring programs about alien conspiracies over actual history and my favourite history games, total war, abandoning history for fantasy, its absolutely amazing to see a channel like Epic History taking up the mantle and absolutely nailing it.

It's too easy to simply write that Disneyfication destroys everything it touches, but it's true for History Channel. It sank into the sludge of reality television and nonsense about ancient aliens. As for commercial television channels, the less written the better. The only good work done now is on a number of KZbin channels like this one.

That was problem with Spain... It tied down so many great units who struggled without clear direction of Napoleon.

Honestly what Napoleon was able to do was unbelievable. Not only was he able to take control of the entire country of France despite not even being of Nobility or technically French. He fought 1v5 wars like 5 times and won, it sucks cause it’s pretty obvious they all sided against him and waged war because he wasn’t nobility and they were afraid if someone that powerful and influential cane to power it would dismantle the entire continents power structure of monarchy. Thats why I think the queen of Prussia called him a monster. And yeah he might’ve had a bit of an ego but the guy not only dominated in battle he also fixed the economic policies of France that is still used in all of Europe. Mad respect to one of histories biggest underdogs

You mean he dismantled the power structure of monarchy by letting himself be crowned emperor :-) Thats quite a funny joke. Napoleon was a genius military commander but completely ignorant of any human price to point even for these times this was singular. Read his talks with Metternich. Napoleon in that regard was much like Hitler and only saw the people as pawns he had no problem sacrificing & killing tens of thousands not only as a price of war but as a price to secure him power without breaking a sweat. He would have been an abysmal ruler in peace times and always provoked heavy resistance. His reform of the french army was part of what gave him his huge advantage but by 1813 no matter how singular battles went the other countries had learned their lesson and all also reformed their armies. At some point despite his genius his empire was doomed to fall especially with his near non existent diplomacy. Bernadotte would have made a much better emperor of France. And no he is no comparison to Caesar who was not only a military but political genius.

@@patricofritz4094 Good question. By the late 17th century the largest European cities had become too large to defend and too dependent upon water sources and food sources that could be cut off. Events like the siege of Lille in 1708 had largely become unrepeatable by the end of the 19th century. If a city could not be protected by an army in the field, it was generally indefensible. This was demonstrated by the inability to defend Vienna in 1805 and 1809, Madrid in 1808, Lisbon in 1807, Berlin in 1806 and 1812 and Moscow in 1812. So the turning point seems to be sometime in the mid-18th century with the growth in size hugely of field armies, the enormous increase in the power of artillery, and the embodiment of professional engineering units within European armies.

King Louis was a cool dude. He was very well-liked by his Dutch subjects as he felt it his duty to be a fair ruler. He even tried to learn the language but hilariously mistakenly referred to himself as " konijn" (rabbit) instead of "koning" (king) of Holland. The country was saddened by Louis' removal as King by Napoleon as he had become too chummy with the population and failed to provide France with enough recruits, horses and supplies for the ongoing war.

You should do the American Civil War. Your meticulous approach to battle formations and troop movement would really do it justice. Plus all the Generals are doing their best Napoleon impression so that's right up your alley lol. Seriously though, there's nothing else like your channel out there. Top notch stuff!

There is no 'The' American Civil War. There have been many. Fortunately, the U.S. has never had one, although the U.S.A. versus C.S.A War is often erroneously termed as such.

David Harner , I’m not sure if you are just trying to argue over semantics but the American Civil War (1860-1865) WAS a Civil War and I’m not sure what else you would call it. The Confederacy came from the USA. It was secession. It was not a foreign group. It was domestic. What definition of Civil War are you using that would make 1860-1865 NOT a civil war??

You left out the two-day sequence of Teugn-Hausen and Abensberg, which splintered Charles' force and set up decisive odds at Eckmuhl another couple of days later that tossed Charles' left wing back into Corinthia and his main army back into Bohemia. The five days, April 19-23, 1809, are a single massive meeting engagement over a battlefield about 65 km x 15 km, and should be regarded as a single battle the same way Liepzig or Ulm are.

Imagine if he had never invaded his own ally in Spain. Instead, he could have used diplomacy and political pressure to strengthen his ally and increase his own influence. Invading your own ally is a very bad look and damages your reputation, even if you succeed.

Not only that but the UK wouldn't have had a way to land an army on the continent and train it, the Austrian uprising while the war in Spain raged wouln't have happened and a russian campaign would have had hundreds of thousands of additional soldiers and resources. Unironically Napoleon could have ruled Europe had he not tried to foolishly usurp the spanish throne, completely unnecessary and the first and biggest blunder leaving the Russian campaign aside.

Indeed, Napoleon’s focus, obsession if I may, on the continental system dragged him into the most devastating conflicts, as stated in the video. I have no intention on criticizing his actions in depth, but this obsession on a flawed, unenforceable system is what I would consider one of his most major contributors to Napoleon’s downfall.

I feel like if he had put a hold onto attacking his ally, Russia, and first finished the war in Spain, after beating them and Portugal and making them sue for peace. He then could have conscripted more men into the Grande Armee and head to Russia and defeat them.

This is exactly what I say to my friends, as bad as Russia was he was still able to recruit a new army for the war in Germany, but Spain, Spain was a completely different story, 250k men died while only 20% of that 250k died in actions. Besides the waste of men it was allowing the UK to fully enter the war, letting them get onto mainland Europe. But the biggest flaw was that his rear was no longer secure and that caused him to have war on two fronts and as we all know wars on two fronts never go well for the nations fighting it.
