It is so meaningful this painting. An imperial guard which has withstood the worst conditions, has seen the most terrible scenes and still went along....now cannot keep himself from crying.
It was despicable the way the European monarchs opposed Napoleon. They were, truly, nothing more than pigs at the trough of the common man’s misery. Napoleon & the revolution threatened their, “birth right” to gorge themselves & anoint each other as superiors. May they burn, wherever they are today.
Sometimes during ceremonial parades, the French get absolutely decked out in their Victorian era uniforms that look STUNNING. But as for bringing it back entirely? That may never well happen.
@@ddc2957I agree 100%. He did this with 15 year old conscripts who had held a rifle twice in their lives, most of them. And he defeated a professional army of veterans outnumbering him 3-1.
1:50 It seems napoleons reign would end in abject military defeat. however exile on elba did not prove to napoleons taste. in less than ten months, He would return to france to fight one last great campaign… to Reclaim his throne!
Adolf Hitler also. People always neglect to mention his military genius because it is politically incorrect to mention him but the truth is without Hitler the Polish campaign would have been a disaster, Norway would never have been checked and France would never have been totally defeated.

Later that evening, general Murat adds the coup de grâce, launching a final French cavalry that seals victory, and drives the enemy back to their bridgeheads.

Russia fights Napoleon, Hitler, and now NATO Ukraine is just a pawn in the eternal struggle of European hatred toward Russian people (who including Russian-Ukrainians). Western media makes no mention of how many Ukrainian boys are dying in a futile war, and NATO does everything to mess up the peace talks. Everyone in Ukraine who wants peace with Russia is driven out and silenced. NATO does not send a single soldier to Ukraine to fight, and only outdated weapons. NATO does not want Ukraine to win, they only want bloodshed and suffering.

The charge rang out everywhere. We didn’t shout anymore. We roared.
"Yes, Bourrienne, I am satisfied. But Desaix! Ah, what a triumph would this have been if I could have embraced him tonight on the field of battle!"

I wish modern generals and officers still wore those elegant uniforms. The most stylish looking soldiers ever imo

@@TahaAddam I prefer the Napoleonic uniforms itself, Victorian era uniforms are way too simple.
....Napoleon has taken on an army almost twice his size and beaten it four times in just six days....
Which I still say should be placed ABOVE Austerlitz as his greatest accomplishment. The context of the six days’ campaign is mind boggling.
italian campaign is also great to!
The Six Days Campaign is the best representation of concentration of force and defeat in detail.

@I saved this clip to my phone, it always gets me so hyped
He was the last figure in history to combine total political power with frontline military genius, in the mold of Alexander and Caesar.
:’) that quote always brings a tear to my eyes…

The Napoleonic wars, which have raged on land and sea for 11 years… seemed finally… at an end
But it would seem exile on Elba didn't suit his taste. In 1815 he would return to France and fight one last campaign, TO RECLAIM HIS THRONE.
*The study of it alone has given me a greater idea of the scale of his genius than any other."*

I love those instruments around the 0.21 mark !!!
Long live the emperor.. some people say he was a warmonger,a tyrant. IGNORANT FOOLS !
He was a genius.
It truly is ignorance. I live in an Anglo country & we were told he was a monster, what a lie that is.
@@ddc2957 he was brilliant...but only in fulfilling his own desires
Tell me again about the great humanitarians who opposed him were, Kebbles.
@@ddc2957 you trying to imply Napolean was a moral man?
Fuck it's epic
I associate this song with Archduke Charles' campaign in 1809.
At 1:50 , i assosiate this with Napoleon's abdication in the fountaibleau palace.
I associate it with my mom
Archiduke Charles advance in Bavaria in 1809, The Battle of Znaim, The Battle of Vitoria in 1813, Napoleon campaign in France 1814.
Now Naploean faces his greatest test, the Box office of a Ridley Scott movie
Ridley did him dirty
