@The Cat Man don't care, atleast his content is good

oversimplified is the only thing that can replace literally the entire video with jokes and still have you learn everything about the topic

[Cenayang Merah]

Fr the jokes are so good I sometimes can't tell difference whether he's joking or not

I feel like I learn more WITH the jokes

[dialiboboss]

Fun fact, nepolean wasn't short, he was like 5'2, but french inches were actually longer than British inches, so he was closer to 5'7-5'9

That’s fascinating

And Venezuela means Little Venice lmao

[Lukas Wilhelm]

Who is Simon Bolivar, to put it simple he's a Latino version of George Washington for the people of Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador(back in the days these guys united as Spanish viceroyalty of New Granada).

[Attack Helicopter]

@Cyber passenger He helped multiple modern South American nations gain independence. He has a country named after him.

@Drekthrall Weren't Americans (US) considering naming their nation after the Vespucci part of his name?

Hitler: I probably should not have a two-front war. Napoleon: *constantly at war with the rest of Europe*

[justgoingincognito]

@CaptainCaelan i think you dont know what he's talking about

[Dr. Dapper]

​​@CaptainCaelan Based on Napoleon's accomplishments, he would probably get beat back a bit by a more refined version of his own tactics, but would probably end up finding a way of dealing with it. As long as they have the same equipment, of course

[CaptainCaelan]

@Jason Dyrkacz If they had the same supplies, sure. Depending on what Napoleon reacts to Blitzkrieg. Napoleon may win.

[Jason Dyrkacz]

Napoleon would've spanked Hitler too.

[Matheus Dias G. Soares]

I love how Oversimplified likes to underestimate his viewers everytime he says "you". At the same time, he's very accurate!

[Misha! ♥]

What do you mean? 🤷

[Heat]

I'm actually surprised. Napo's mom gave birth to Napoleon and the entire La Grandé Army which would take on Russia!

[justgoingincognito]

@Heat not really its more like if hitler was a general himself, cruelty is all the same

[justgoingincognito]

That makes me wonder how the old guards are older than the young guards by years

[Eaubyle]

legends say she is still giving birth to this day

[Jorge Costa]

@Heat Napoleon was a megalomaniac but his motivations weren't racist.

[Heat]

Because both ideologies were alien to European kingdoms at the time.

I love the the fact that France is spreading its revolutionary ideas and then Russia, Austria, Britain have sledgehammers, and the kingdom of Naples has a nail gun. Very genius idea to put those tools into a video.

This takes so much more work than extensive documentaries and stock footage or photos. Excellent. Your work and creativity are greatly appreciated. the humor is clever and quick

[Mateo]

Idk prob be boring to be the guy who edited a 4 hour documentary about Battle of Hastings, and it's just old man who traveled like 5 places and all he does is talk slowly, with music that makes you sleepy.

Hitler: was severely punished by his father and hated him Stalin: was severely punished by his father and hated him Napoleon: was severely punished by his mother and LIKED it and loves her I guess it’s just feels different if your mom severely punish you

[AspireGD]

Mmm yes, mother-abuse > father abuse.

[justgoingincognito]

Also napoleon:severely punished his dad

[Shre Berry]

ig?

[Napoléon Bonaparte]

@Im Cloud In any way if anyone punishes you severly that means you will be a leader of a country

[Fred Barker]

@Nogent and the let’s hope it will last bit Andrew Roberts makes the argument it has, Napoleonic code etc

[zombietastic]

Oversimplified is one of the best KZbinrs in my opinion. He really puts a lot of effort into each and every frame. Cant wait to see when he starts uploading more regularly

[soulless_jake]

We wait a year for a AAA video

[TheNMan64]

Now I want to know the backstory of that depressed mule. What caused his depression? Was it treated properly?

[Stanislas H.]

Finally someone's bringing in the important topic

[Geezer]

Poor mule

[You'reThatMantis]

You know, Tsar Alexander being called a little baby boy is actually real. During the peace negotiations following Napoleon's defeat, the Austrian diplomat Klemens Von Metternich became so fed up with Tsar Alexander he wrote to his emperor calling the Tsar "The Biggest Baby on Earth".

[Cody Rewind]

*A pretty well known fact about Napoleon is that because of genetic reasons he suffered for some part of his life from severe stomach pain. It may sound weird for those who dont have constant stomach pain, but when I found this out I could relate a lot and developed an admiration for him. Almost all of his medical reports point out pretty much everything that I feel. I look up to him because of his strenght of keeping his head up, till the very end, regardless of his extreme pain. That's what I try to do, and now I have a big picture of him in my bedroom to help me not to give up.*

[Lectro Eel]

Motivational

[David Pomerantz]

I mean Just look at Hippolyte, Napoleon's first mistake was not meeting him first

[Lorn Baker]

@Sandra Naik That Jawline does not lie though. He was quite the handsome man who could probably turn a guy's head even if his toast was Butterside up.

[Sandra Naik]

This one is really underrated 🤣

[DJ JD]

“How many times do you want to surrender to France?” Austria: “Y E S”

[justgoingincognito]

I think they surrendered like 4 times

[sky_playz]

@Ψ Воинomme No, someone shot austrias leader in the head that's how it started, what you said happened second.

[Irohnic]

Something actually funny is that Napoleon wasn’t actually average height for the time, he was *over* average. The average height for a French man during his time was actually just under 5’ 2” and Napoleon was actually 5’ 7”. So Napoleon was actually gigantic for his time.

[justgoingincognito]

Nah he's just average

[soulless_jake]

@Tez Sal it was ths 1800s people were 4 inches shorter,check your sources

[Tez Sal]

I read 5’5-5’6 I think tbh 5’2 would be too short for a French man especially a European, who on average are one of the taller people on earth. But yes Napoleon was be in today’s equivalent 5’9-5’10 which is definitely not short lol.

[Glaider Mason]

Damn Napoleon was a legend. How did I miss this in school? All I remember was he was supposed to be a short angry dictator. People really just be hating on short dudes to such a degree that in the end it's the first thing he was known/remembered for.

[Spartame]

@Ψ Воинomme Napoléon are not learned in French school and he don’t have street with his name. He’s really have a boycott in France in fact

[Sathira_Anuk]

Just British things

[Vincent Hammons]

@The Flying Narwhal today 5' 7" is short because i am 5' 7" :D

[Simple Viewer]

Napoleon was 5'7-5'9 but when translated to the English foot I think, it said he was 5'1

[The Flying Narwhal]

@Raiden A foot in French was longer than one in America so when it is you say he was only 5’6 without converting it, he sounds smaller than he was.

[Ben Miller]

Really great and accurate series. I’m reading a biography of Napoleon now and this was a good “bird’s eye view” of the story. One funny point you didn’t mention was that whenever he was assigned to a post on the army he didn’t like early in the revolution, he simply went on sick leave for months or even a year at a time. One time, while he was still a lowly artillery officer, he went back to Corsica to try to get his family to take more power there and settle their debts. He was elected to a political/military role there which ended up with him fighting a few battles against his old idol and hero of Corsican independence, Paoli, and even fighting French soldiers. After they failed, the Bonapartes all left for France and Napoleon showed up in Paris asking for another position in the army like nothing happened. They had him marked down as a deserter but since things were so chaotic at the time they ended up taking him back without a sick note. Plus he had friends in the government by this time so he got a position in the strategic planning committee for the government and got educated on grand strategy and how to run an army. This is how he ended up leading the army that defended Paris from the mob and earned him the Army of Italy. It was an incredible mixture of having friends in high places, getting lucky, being stubborn and being skilled enough when opportunities arose to prove himself.

[Νεόκλητος Γαϊτανίδης]

The video is extremely accurate. Notice the troops get an eagle on their helmet only after Napoleon being a senator (he brought the eagles). His story is so facinating and your so talented you could fit more stories in the video. Like a 5 to 10 seconds part to talk about the eagles or a same size part to talk about Beethoven and Napoleon. *Beethoven loved Napoleon and thought of him as a liberator until he turned into an emperor. The composer even wrote a symphony named Eroica for Napoleon. In the beginning of the symphony Beethoven wrote that this piece was dedicated to Napoleon but then ripped of the name making a hole into the paper.

Napoleon may have been a megalomaniacal dictator but it's really hard not to admire his genius and his triumphs. He did do some badass shit.

[justgoingincognito]

@ᚹᚨᚱᛁᚾᚺᚨᚱᛁ Σ dictator=someone who rules with military power and iron fist So napoleon is a dictator it doesn't fkin matter if he calls himself an emperor

[Bruh At the rate]

This is so entertaining and educational! i watch your videos at least once daily, and i've learned so much off of it!

His Marshalls were some of the baddest people. Wish he could've talked more about them.

[Not the FBI]

Another reason napoleon and his dad had such tension was because his dad was originally a general of the independent Corsican army

[Aetius]

It is more than that (oversimplified of course) : - Napoleon's father was pro French monarchy - Napoleon as a teenager was a Paolist, for independant Corsica, but most importantly, he was part of the enlightened figures. That's also why Napoleon sided as pro France as time passed, because since the revolution occured, his ideals of enlightenment were reprensented in it, and if you read his exchanges with Paoli about it, it's very interesting.

[David Dunn]

I have watched this a few times and used it to educate some mates , the best part for me is the birth of Napoleon and the french army arriving !! Gets funnier every time I watch it 🤣😂

[D HV]

See guys? Not even Napoleon was above having a sugar mama.

[Ian Miller]

Everytime I hear about a military group “living off the land”… I have to remind myself how much meat a single deer can provide😅 Edit: Even a small rabbit can go a long way with the right stew

[Jaganath]

*Carl weathers enters the chat*

[LOL THE POP 324Aloïs]

Fun fact, if youre wondering why the island of sicily (the red one in the méditerranien) didnt get conquered by Napoléon despite being really easy to take and an enemy base is because Naples was ruled by one of Napoléons best generals (Murat) and Hé didnt want Murat to expand and strengthen his kingdom and ordered him not to this ended up being a strain between them and probably one of the reasons as to why Murat then desclared war on Napoléon

[Blasty]

Napoleon's story is so crazy that selling a huge chunk of North America to Thomas Jefferson for $15,000,000 is barely mentioned.

[justgoingincognito]

@Bing Chilling & Simp shouldn't he bump up the price? Im pretty sure the us would be willing to pay 10X the price waste of territory

[justgoingincognito]

@Dank Sanchez you mean selling a country for a penny?

@chris b I give you fire, you give me rock

[Dima is a tree.]

I learned a lot more on this topic from this 30 minute video than I ever did in high school. Really the only thing I learned about Napoleon in school was that he became a dictator and he was short.

[Fleapto Fleapt]

Soyons fiers d'être Français et d'avoir eu pareil homme au sein de notre glorieuse nation. Vive la République, et vive la France !

[Pro Patria]

@Triforce Infinity sorry to destroy your dreams but actually thousands of french died or got wounded to allow the British to escape. Do your own research, I am tired of saying the same thing dozens of times. But basically, the only ones to really fight at Dunkirk were certainly not the Bri'ish.

[Triforce Infinity]

@Pro Patria france was beaten at Dunkirk before they even got to the British!?!!

[Pro Patria]

@germanic kang yeah but no, have you ever heard of Bir-Hakeim ? Or even Dunkirk ? The only ones to shut their pants were the Anglos, they litterally fled their positions after the first few shots at Dunkirk, leaving the French on their own to defend their retreat.

[BENJIDELEST]

@germanic kang ok this war, french has make mistake, but, french have win most of they war, and if you want to know 1 things, UK is not better in ww2, and France have destroyed 50% of german plane, but than german do to french, in tank we have the most good tank, we just lose because France and UK have politician not want war and we have not be ready for a war, UK have a water helping is for this he not be invade in 45 days too

[germanic kang]

@Nogent greeks were not cowards they never shat in pants like the French always do

[SKProds]

This and the second part of the series got me a 6(A) on my history essay a few months ago. Thank you for the detailed explanation, presented in an easy to understand way.

him oversimplifing always gives me an idea of what actually happens, but then he does tell the real thing, which I respect.

[wwf4iry.c0ll.com_ ★]

Okay but this is literally an amazing video, very informative.

[vanth]

25:50 the bunny of holland!!! literally one of my favourite historical facts about my country louis bonaparte was learning dutch in his time as king, but he seemed to get the two dutch words koning (king) and konijn (bunny) mixed up. so he’d regularly declare himself the bunny of holland and people would make fun of him for it.

I love how it's very accurate and funny at the same part my favorite was at 17:23 "Thrown them in the trash"

[Johan Berggren]

Came for the History, stayed for the amazing comedy 😍

[ShogunRyuusha]

Napoleon may have seemed or been arrogant, but the fact he was willing to get covered in blood and mud just like his troops, rather than the generals they were used to who sat on horses and delegated orders, was a massive powermove.

[ᚹᚨᚱᛁᚾᚺᚨᚱᛁ Σ]

Napoleon was a man of the rank and never forgot it, that's why he was loved by his people

[Saint_Noodles]

@NinjaKED12 you still believe that? lmao

[Nogent]

@NinjaKED12 nope, he doesn't. He's spending his days in a perfectly safe bunker, and he goes out to film himself only when it's safe. If he wanted, he could very well make his press conferences in impeccable suits. But if Napoleon would be living today, he would have no choice but to do the same : if you are the top commander, you simply can not expose yourself on the frontline today, not when there is snipers and drones. In Napoleon's time, there was no aircraft, no machine guns, rifles and cannons had also a shorter range and were far less accurate than today. It was not completely safe however : at the siege of Ratisbonne in 1809, Napoleon took a bullet in the foot. So it was not safe for him to expose himself like that, but it was not complete suicide (and a gift to the enemy) either like it would be today. Handling and aiming the cannons himself is also something that, at my knowledge, no other sovereign ever did in history. In Napoleon's time, kings and emperors were already no longer frontline military leaders, and Napoleon was the only one to do so.

[tobbcit tobbcit]

besides hes not actually leading the troops into battle if u thought that im afraid u need a reality check away from Ukraine propaganda

[Benjamin Buckless]

kinda forget how powerful he was sometimes. truly a force of nature

[Jellylaita cubing boy]

Sometimes the third trait that make Napoleon a great military leader couldn't be done without the second

The amount of things that needed to go right for Napoleon to get where he got is truly astounding.

Russia/Ussr: I defeated napolean/Hitler because of one season DA WINTER

[Soviet Union]

Nazi Germany: Defeated France by going into the rear of their line. USSR: we defeated them by waiting for the best season!

[Antonio Perez]

When he approaches, we run away.

@elpoiro last samurai was also inaccurate because the leader of the samurai rebellion was not only a famous general who helped win the Boshin war, but his samurai army was fairly modernized as well, it is just that only the men super duper loyal decided not to run away from the fight against the equally modern Imperial Japanese Army.

"And you pronounce eggs OUFFS like a bunch of big dingleberries" is my favorite line ever.

[wowowow]

i learned more from your videos in 2 hours than when i study for 4 hours (i'm not kidding, binge watching the videos related to my history test helps alot

[agua de vidrio]

Hopefully everyone can try making learning fun like this brilliant channel does! The world would benefit a lot.

[CHEEZ_GENERAL🧀]

"Fun sized French guy is running rings around us" that is my favorite line in oversimplified.

[Mario Ramirez]

Fun fact: Napoleon was 5’6, so he was taller than the average French man.

[Salty Teenager]

You know he’s important when Oversimplified draws him with a nose

[CountryballQwee]

You said about eyes in the American revolution lol

[ThePlaneNerd]

And eye whites

[Ashok Joseph]

They also drew Simeon with a nose

[M B]

Hipoleet had a nose

[Dominion of Canada Mapping]

What about Simeon?

[Eric Kozlowski]

Napoleon announcing that he IS the revolution actually rings a whole lot truer than Fauci announcing himself “The Science”.

[Lucky Doge]

From 19:38 - 19:57 on the ceremony where Napoleon becomes emperor, if you listen closely, you can hear Germany’s National Anthem

[Lucky Doge]

@CrunchM CM Little bit late, but thanks for the history lesson for me. Sounds awesome

[CrunchM CM]

Yes, the reason why is because in 1797 the music became the anthem of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy Roman Emperor was still emperor of the romans as they were since 800 when Charlemagne was coronated emperor of the romans. As of 1804 the music was the anthem of the emperor of the romans currently for 7 years. So when Napoleon was crowned emperor of the french he also claimed emperor of the romans, and because emperor of the romans anthem was that, it was played at the coronation ceremony. 1004 years after Charlemagne was crowned emperor of the romans.

[Strik4r]

Fun fact: one of the reasons Napoleon was thought to be so short was because he would always stand in between two of his tallest men, making him look far shorter than he was.

[Chef Pyro]

This is my favorite history channel and this is my favorite series I wish more youtubers were like this

[Badou Plus]

Nothing better that a little bit of simplified history with a good laugh.

[Loturzel Restaurant]

This Channel here aint called Oversimplified for no Reason - so you may not stop here and want to learn more about History. The Fate of French was covered in the provokingly-titled video 'Liberty aaand Freedom are Left-Wing-Ideas' by 'Second Thought'.

[Chocogalaxist]

Imagine bullying your short Corsican classmate and a few years later he becomes your country’s emperor. Yikes.

[Kumar Atharva]

@HermzlugI am saying that the tactics used by napoleon were copied by everybody and germany copied it the best. And anyways he hated Italy because they were so annoying back then for them

[Hermzlug]

@Kumar Atharva bruh his not a fan of Napoleon or either france. he is a fanatic of Julius Caesar

[Dan Marsh]

You genuinely animated napoleons mother giving birth to an entire army with horses and cannons i love your content

[Kath arina]

Fun fact: one of the reasons why the French were so successful at the start was that the repressed peasants conveniently told the French exactly what the landscape was like and where the enemy troops were.

[Khloe]

I learn more from a thirty minute video than a week-long lesson from my history teacher.

[Firsthand Coder]

Wow! I like your channels creativity. I wish I can make programming this fun to learn.

[GamiTheMighty]

I find it amazing that even the More bloody hungry moments in history still had the sense to not continue fighting under more detrimental conditions.

[Mason 343]

Imagine holding 1 and 2 on trending. What a beast

[AsusDinosaur]

Why not 3 also?

[OB1tuber]

He still does that

[Anthropolis]

[hugh jass]

@Big Steveand he doesn't post much so that entices the view to turn on the notifications.

[KingWorld Adventures]

@Big Steve what about it channels with more than his subscribers?? Exactly

[fede mvs]

He was not bullied for his corsican accent, but because his mothertounge was italian, he hated speak french

[Schats13 _]
