pretty solid chance that this whole event was propaganda. If nothing else, Napoleon went through great lengths to embellish victories and hide defeats. Other material described the whole charge as an embarrassing farce because nobody wanted to suicide themselves crossing a fortified bridge.

I love how in 20 years since the release of this miniseries I've came to understand 1) This didn't happen. 2) the petite caporal comes from Napoleon's willingness to come down and personally direct and operate the cannon batteries like an actual corporal. Great series.

[@jansandman6983]

Petite? Dude he's 5'6 probably taller than you and he wasn't a corporal but a commissioned officer a graduate from Ecole Miliaire equivalent to USA's West Point. Perhaps you have mixed Napoleon with Hitler who was a Corporal.

[@TahaAddam]

Okay you probably don't know his reputation all that well in Italy so, let me make this quick.@@jansandman6983 "La Petite Caporal" was an affectionate term from his soldiers describing how he manned the Battery at Lodi, a position an Artillery Corporal performs. Also something to clarify; 5'6 for a French man was average, not so much for a General though (Napoleons Generals, later Marshals were either a few inches or a few feet taller than him)

Napoleon couldn't win because 4 countries decided to maintain at least 600000 troops,yet France was depleted. No way they would stop.

The key is Wellington and Blucher they made agreement. If Blucher said he won't then Wellington just retreats more deep, Napoleon couldn't catch him and when other troops of other countries come,then he will fight,so Wellington won't fight an unprepared battle. So if Blucher wont come, Wellington won't fight and Napoleon can't catch him. So if he does fight, Napoleon should think that Wellington must be planning something because he's Wellington who defeated his many Marshalls before,so Wellington definitely a good general,so if he stands and fight he must have confidence. But Napoleon was just so arrogant. Not only he underestimated Wellington. But he won't allow his Marshalls better than him. So that's his excuse to tell his Marshalls means I was better because I already beaten Wellington and if Blucher wouldn't come, blah blah. So I wouldn't think Napoleon is so great, He had better combat skills because he's an military officer who become emperor.

@flvctvat…..except it didn’t. Napoleon never even stepped on the bridge during the fighting. He stopped a good ten to twenty yards away from the actual bridge. His men were cut apart by the two cannons and the Austrian infantry. The attack was repulsed as shown. What won the day was French actions all along the front forcing the Austrians to decamp before they were surrounded if I remember right. Napoleon had sent at least two or three battalions across the river by pontoon bridge and boat on both the up and down stream sides of the river. So it was actually General JJ Gueie , who had crossed the rivers at Alberado that led the push from the north that drove the Austrians out of arcole.

this scene really happened, it was during the Italian 🇮🇹 campaign when Napoleon was not yet emperor but just a general at the very beginning of his career. Check for yourself on the Internet The name of this famous battle is called ➡️ [The Battle of Pont d'Arcole] took place from November 15 to 17, 1796 (25 to 27 Brumaire Year V) during the first Italian campaign. It pits the 19,000 French 🇨🇵 of the Army of Italy, under the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, against the 24,000 men of the Austrian army, commanded by General Josef Alvinczy.

Thanks to Napoleon who invaded España, Argentina won his Independence after defeating two brits invasions in Buenos Aires. Our liberator, general San Martín, fought Napoleon in Arjonilla, Bailén y Albuera. Those experiences were useful to cross the almost 7 000 metres Andes and liberate Argentina, Chile and Perú. Thank you.

No hay dudas de que Napoleon Bonaparte fue un hombre con coraje y con valor... Eso, no lo salva del gran error estratégico de invadir Rusia. Rusia es invencible, por los rusos y por su territorio. Un pueblo Valiente sin dudas... ¿Quien puede negar la valentía del pueblo ruso que supo humillar con dos alambres a la mayor maquinaria bélica hasta 1945, que fue la genocida e imperialista Alemania de Hitler? Respecto a Napoleón, hay dos cosas a su favor: 1) luchó contra la monarquías europeas y el feudalismo 2) su lucha por consolidar la Revolucion Francesa, derivó inevitablemente, en la liberación de las colonias españolas de America. La diferencia entre Stalin y Napoleón, fue que Napoleón avanzó sobre los territorios europeos, y no los liberó, sino que los conquistó El gran Stalin, en cambió derrotó a los Nazis y liberó a toda Europa de ese flagelo imperialista. Pero para concluir, que un enanito de una colonia francesa como Córcega, sin avales, mas que su inteligencia y sus convicciones, proveniente de una familia humilde para la época, haya llegado a poner bajo su bota, a duques, reyes, príncipes y haya hecho temblar a los monarcas Ingleses y a los Zares Rusos, habla no solo de valentía sino de uno de los cerebros más prodigiosos de la historia, y de una convicción excepcional. Asi como Lenin y Stalin a mi entender, o Mao, o Fidel Castro, han demostrado ser lúcidos e inmortales por sus logros contra los Imperios, para toda la Eternidad

[@jaresh5536]

I'm French and Napoleon's fan but I concur: this fiction is ridicule though it attempts to depict one of the famous victories of Napoléon. Napoleon never reached the bridge himself and ended up falling on the side, protected by a staff officer, Muiron, who died protecting him . These movie scenes are frankly not great nor representative. Uniforms are not correct. Yes muskets were not precise but Clavier standing up, defiant in the middle of the bridge is ridiculous. However Napoleon did show great courage throughout his reign and got wounded several times, and got his nickname 'petit caporal' from that Italian campaign.
