I’ve never seen a scene that made me care so much about both sides as the breaking of the Old Guard. Ney’s desperation is heart wrenching, Wellington’s joy at the break through is infectious, and then Napoleon’s determination slowly melting into hopelessness. It’s an absolute roller coaster of emotions, so we’ll acted, and so well filmed.

So much better than the goof ball they got to play him in the recent Ridley Scott Napoleon movie. It wasn't even a terrible movie, but it's sillyness was overwhelming. You can have jokes, this movie does. But it was just nonstop in Ridley Scott's movie, and the battles weren't spectacular so much as shocking with gore and graphic depictions of death. What a bummer.

As a simple fact. Waterloo would not have been won without the arrival of the Prussian's. However had Wellington not decided the ground and held it the Prussian's arrival would have meant nothing. Napoleon's generals did not fear the Prussian's. They did fear Wellington. The only allied commander who consistently beat them in battle. So much credit to the Prussian's but let us not belittle Wellington's achievement.

@gorankatic40000bc8 жыл бұрын
Kohl423 I disagree. Napoleon attacked constantly British center and was essentially agreeing to meat grinder instead of inspired maneuvers and flanking he used in many battles before. He did not manage to impose favorable attrition to Brit army because Wellington used field advantage for protecting the main body of army and British firepower in defense - hallmarks of his tactical preferences and skill. Plus one more thing that was crucial - Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte strongholds drained Napoleon's offensive capacity in attritional battle for fortified positions with the devastating fact for French left flank that it did not manage to capture Hougoumont during the whole time span of battle and that La Haye Sainte was captured too late.

@heyricksander8 жыл бұрын
+Kohl423 Another way to look at it is that Napoleon failed to beat the British before the Prussians showed up - which was his goal - divide and conquer. By holding out, Wellington was able to defeat Napoleon. They were Allies with the Prussians and were depending on one another strategically - and both had reasons to distrust the other - and both armies' chiefs of staff hated their ally. However, Wellington conducted a series of maneuvers to ensure that Napoleon could not cut him off from the Prussian line of attack - another French failing. If you really study the battle, the French earlier in the day believed they held a cross roads that would cut off the Prussians from supporting the British - and the Emperor sent 11,000 of his Imperial Guard for the task, but the French general vacillated and never took his objective and the Emperor never confirmed - another French failing. It was very close, and Napoleon believed he would win, split the alliance (the British were financing the war and if they were defeated, the Prussians would have made peace.) But its more complicated than it appears and the battle was decided by a series of decisions throughout the day - and lastly, the English defeated a final attack by the undefeated Imperial Guard. As it was described at the time, the unbeatable met the undefeated.

How many do you think were veterans of the Peninsula war? If quite a bit, by this point most of Napoleon’s finest laid in mass graves in Russia and by this point most of the French army was cobbled together conscripts for the hundred days war. The British seems during this period and onward seemed to rely on a smaller yet more professionally trained army that patrolled their colonies in peacetime vs. the French/German/Russian conscription. While this means pound for pound the average British soldier could outshoot and outperform any other besides the mid-19th century Prussians that small professional army of ~= 100k would be their undoing in the true modern age.

@@luowatson6246 I disagree, and so did Napoleon, a man with 20 years experience leading armies. Defeating wellington and blucher at Waterloo would leave the French armies free to fight Austria and the slow arriving Russians. It may even have stopped them at least temporarily from attacking France. Napoleon’s plan was to split the British and Prussian armies and beat them alone. He then wanted to negotiate peace from a position of strength, if Austria and Russia kept advancing. Then Napoleon has a fighting chance of separating them and beating them, or perhaps they would temporarily call off their assaults. Yes it was a long shot but Napoleon had a small chance of success

To do this he had to penetrate deep into Germany again and at least knock out either Austrian/Prussian forces before Russians arrived... In the meantime he also had to keep British and Spanish at bay, and stamp out all rebellions and traitors inside France. One step wrong he is doomed. Many of his experienced officers and marshals doesn't return to his service, and veterans squandered in his previous years of campaigns. He has situation even worse than 1797.....

Gloriously good film. My favourite war movie.it’s very even-handed between the two sides: the French are intense, courageous and valorous. The British (that’s all we see on the allied side), are characterful, humorous, professional and very dangerous. The Prussians are hilariously positioned as the film’s antagonists! A bit soon after the Second World War for a positive view of Germany I think! Plummer’s superb depiction of Wellington is like Edmund Blackadder, but Steiger’s Napoleon…what an incredible performance. I love Lord Uxbridge’s clever joke at the end, hinting that Wellington’s order to advance might really be a disguised order to retreat to Brussels. Very amusing!

Had Blucher's people failed to hear the sound of the guns in the distance Europe may well be a very different place today. Having said that, Napoleon didn't understand Naval warfare which would have left him very vulnerable had he won at Waterloo.

Duke Wellington was earlier deployed against Pazhassi Raja,a local feudal ruler of South India who only had a handful of tribal archers.But he was a master of jungle warfare.He used the thick forests and knowledge of geography to his best advantage.Morover the British redcoat uniform was not at all suitable for the humid rainforest and made them easily identifiable targets for the archers.Wellington miserably lost failing to crush the warlord's guerilla warfare and was recalled in 1803 after 3 years of fighting.Pazhassi Raja is the only warrior who has defeated Lord Wellington.He defeated the strongest Emperor on earth but lost to a local landlord.Raja was later defeated by Thomas Baber who was just a civil servant then.

The Battle of Waterloo is both Wellington's and Blucher's victory. The Prussians saved him from defeat by diverting the French forces at Plancenoit halfway during the battle, and then they came in with the main army and crushed the right flank. This guaranteed victory, but before that, Wellington was on the verge of losing and would have retreated.

The British were critical at Waterloo, much of their success was the famous two-lined-thin-deep-line against a mighty battering ram column, driven by constant drumming. However the British lines could bring every musket to bear, and they were the best trained and most drilled troops in the world. Disciplined and experienced troops will stand and volley fire at the front and the sides. There is a drill movement still in the Guards regiment to this day called the left and right incline which is a 45 degree turn to the left or right. The order came present, ready, fire. Amassed volley ripping great holes in the approaching columns.
@mitchconner45734 жыл бұрын
I believe this became true later like in the Zulu war, however during the Napoleonic wars British troops weren’t that good, Wellington actually had little regard for them because they looted dead soldiers. I’d say in that period the French imperial guard was the best. Trained and very experienced. The new meritocracy system also allowed for better generals since it was no longer reserved to aristocrats.

Mitch Conner the British troops may not have been the best but they would die where they stand look at Abheura and the Die hards they were being fired into be cannon at 90 -100 yards and still as was written died where they stood every wound to the front they also actually survived the battle when French so demoralised that they couldn’t break them with canister and hearing of advancing British troops withdrew

@@mitchconner4573 Looting is not a good indicator of the quality of training. The French army that you say was the best trained was notorious for looting. Looting was also known to happen in WW2 (central European artifacts keep popping up in the estates of former American soldiers) so it wasn't confined to a particular era. As well trained as a soldier can be for action during battle, it has little impact on their behaviour after the fighting has finished.

THE SPANISH HEROIC GENERAL WHO FIGHTED AGAINST NAPOLEON IN WATERLOO. Miguel de Álava (Fernado VII's Ambassador to the Netherlands, a veteran of the Peninsular War, Wellington's personal guest at the Duchess of Richmond's ball) was the "second" in the shadow of the Duke of Wellington, a great friend of his (Wellington le sent a lot of letters, in Spanish language, Wellington learned it during the peninsular war) during the conflict that ended with the French. The war cries that echoed throughout the Waterloo countryside during one of the most famous battles in history, which occurred exactly 205 years ago, were primarily English, Prussian and Gauls. However, among all those foreign howls stood out those of an officer who, on his horse, chewed his orders in a very academic British with a Spanish accent. This was none other than the Spanish General Miguel Ricardo de Álava y Esquivel, who fought in the General Staff of the Duke of Wellington and who, when fate caused his superior to cause loss, was not daunted and organized the movements of part of the troops allies fighting the 'Empereur'. A job that, coupled with his extensive resume, earned him unquestionable fame in the land of the Lords. The Englishman was also lucky because he encountered the Spanish, a man he knew he could trust and who had organized armies from scratch in the War of Independence. In addition, as his second officer (Murray) was in Canada fighting and his substitute, on a honeymoon, needed someone to do that job. In this way, Álava became the "second" for all purposes of the Duke. Although always unofficially. ALAVA IN WATERLOO On June 18, 1815, Álava took his place as part of the British officers in the Waterloo countryside. «As he was part of the General Staff, Álava had to keep up to date with everything, direct the deployment of the troops and take care of the quartermaster. Once on the battlefield, he too had to be very close to the soldiers and do a tough job of organization. That was his task until the British "Quarter Master General" (one of the highest ranking generals in the army), William Howe De Lancey, was wounded by the French and had to be evacuated. What to do without a superior officer? Wellington must have thought. But nothing easier to solve. Without thinking twice he gave that position unofficially to Álava. The Spanish general, on his part, arrested him and set out to do a job for which he was perfectly prepared and which he had already been doing in the shadows for days. However, he was always in the background, as he officially he was nothing more than an observer. In fact, and although the job of the General Staff was not to go into battle directly, but to organize the men, the Hispanic came to find his bones and his buttocks in one of the most dangerous positions on the entire battlefield: Hougoumont, where the allies organized an all-out defense against Napoleon's attacks.
