23:26 There is no guarantee for the losing side. They have to trust. But the winning side is heavily encouraged to honor the deal because if they don't, then every time they siege a fort or city, they will have to fight for every street, and it will take them months or years just to take one town. Since the defenders will know there is no other possibility to survive than to keep fighting because they cannot trust the besiegers.
It was also something you expected to do knowing, or rather trusting you'll get the same treatment if it was to happen to you in the future. They're usually part of a non-written honor code between equals. Kind of like back when in the bronze age Mediterranean where warlords and kings kept sending each other gifts and asking for hospitality when traveling large distances because it was the right thing to do and also you were expected to do the same, reinforcing that behavior that was beneficial to all the parties involved
To answer your question about the name's origin of the Cisalpine Republic: it was chosen by Napoleon and his (Italian) allies, because the Romans called that territory (in this case it was a part, not all) Cisalpine Gaul. For the Romans, Italy began where the city of Rimini is today (just "under" the beginning of the Italian peninsula) and they divided Gaul into: Cisalpine (the north Italy), Celtica (almost all of today's France), Aquitania (southern France between the Pyrenees and the Ocean), Narbonensis (like the other, but from Pyrenees to Mediterranean, more or less the Provence), Belgica (Belgium, south Nederland and north of France) There would be other specifics to make but I've already written a long comment.
Jean Lannes is in my top 3 favorite Marshals. As Epic history put it "He has the courage of Ney and the military mind of Soult". Dude was the OG crashout 😭
Napolen was brilliant but its important to recognise that some of the ground work was lain by the revolution in terms of settign up the meritocracy that would emable men of talent like Moreau, massena and Lannes to rise through the ranks
8:46 To quote Napoleon himself: "If the art of war were nothing but the art of avoiding risks, glory would become the prey of mediocre minds. I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest."
To answer your question about breaking honor and war rules, I provide you with another historical event: - After Azincourt, the English slaughtered an important part of the prisonners, who mainly came from the French nobility. - This slaughter was such a shock in Western Europe that Burgundy stopped its alliance with England in the next steps of the 100-year war. - It was the turning point, because the English needed this alliance to get the upper hand. - By neutrality, the Duke of Burgundy passively supported the French king from that moment. So breaking honor and war rules can backfire harsh!
Funny enough, that's what made my grandmother's family french. Led to years of being called "macaronis" by french, I've been called that too even though my grandmother's family was officaly french for years. A lot of people on the border were discriminated.
Cis-alpine gaul, "gaul on this side of the alps" Trans-alpine gaul - "Gaul beyond the alps" 25:09 Depends on the period. In middle ages, it was customary to allow city to send a messenger for aid, and agree a date with defenders. If relief will not arrive by said date, city will surrender. There is no guarantee for honoring terms of surrender, but in Europe there is a lot of fortifications, and usually forces holding these fortifications are rather small. So if you wanna keep violating terms of surrender word will get around, and defenders will hold these forts to their deaths.
Napoleon with his marshals the greatest of all time all Europe against him he saved the republic the world after him was never the same his stratagem is still taught in all the great military schools of the whole world long live the emperor
Napoleon underestimated the Russians. The Grand Army of 600,000 was annihilated. Napoleon returned to France with 100,000 troops. Macron now wants to do the same by riling Russia. The French haven't learnt their lesson. Of not poking the sleeping bear.
eh the Russian underestimated Napoleon III. Third Rome was wrecked in modern day Ukraine. Now wants to to do the same by riling France. The Russians haven't learned their lesson, they're not a bear , theyre more of an old crippled man who still folds, irons and puts his uniform from 50 years ago remembering and dreaming that he still is a young man full of vigour and energy before he became adrunk who caughthiv and his mind got clouded with dementia. he looks out the window at the other countries playing sports together with France whilst he cries that he has no friends. He remembers that he used to send rockets into space, he used to have a population as large as even america he used to be richer than italy he used to be respected but now, even his former colonies mock him.
It was winter and lines of communication too extensive for 19th century logistics that lost the great army, not the Russians who took so many slaps during this campaign that they only attacked once at the crossing of the Berezina... And even there with a starving and frozen army the French defeated the Russians. But we are no longer in the 19th century now there are trucks, planes and boats that sail several times faster than their ancestors of the 19th subject to the whims of the winds.
Remember that British education system always believes England won Hundred Years War in 1415, or that the Normans and Angevins kings of England were Vikings.

I don't know what the French teach in school but to be honest, the British in terms of "stories" are second to none. Even today if you ask who beat Napoleon at Waterloo people will tell you Wellington (thus the British) but the credit for that victory is Prussian actually (I'm not French, not German and of course, not British) and nobody knows it except historians.

look what happenned in the egyptian campaign when the turks who surrendered and were freed broke their word.
Looks like Connor doesn't know the word "honor" ...

long before Napoleon, Hannibal crossed the Alps with elephants

I love Napoleon very much it reminds me of my selfies determined won't give in
A little later he crossed the Pyrenees, that was another story.
Also Hannibal with elephants too...some centuries before
I went to Innsbruck too, Austria is a beautiful country overall.

back home you go Suvorov, Massena dealt with you now Bonaparte will deal with the austrians.
Massena never defeated Suvorov himself. Archduke Charles and Suvorov defeated him. Massena beat Korsakov. .
Yoooo

Don't forget napoleon won the battle of Waterloo according to the French education system.
it dosen't say that, no.
Remember that British education system always believes England won Hundred Years War in 1415, or that the Normans and Angevins kings of England were Vikings.
