      One thing I question is that he said Genoa _sold_ Corsica to the French. I can’t really find any major (and only some minor mentions in passing on Google) sources saying it was “sold.” It’s a minor point, but if any commenters are bored and know and could shed some light, I’d be interested.

      Well it's a snowball effect once you have so many subscribers isn't it? When you release a video your influx of people with notifications at once is going to cause the system to think the flood of traffic is a trending video when it's not really trending at all, it's just your already existing subscribers viewing it, but then it gets put on trending list and does trend. Hence snowball effect.

Much more than the outdated Russian army of that time.

      The movie Waterloo depicted it super well haha,
      Seriously one of the greatest generals of all time an insanely good record.
      Not to mention his monumental leaps in legal code, law and stuff, limiting the church was genius, he's not wrong about it just being used to oppress people and maintain the upper class historically
      Wasn't perfect, definitely some shitty stuff especially from a modern perspective, but obviously using modern sensibilities applied to historical figures isn't really applicable

      We can't fully send all of the thank you's that are packed in ships. Remember that Mr. Beast is the Mister of the Seas, and Oversimplified, the master of the Continent. Sending it thru planes are just a fantasy, you can't on waters because it's *b l o c c a d e s,* and sending it on land means a lot of dead people. It's the 19th Century, not the 20th.
      I hope i havent started an E-War of the First Coalition.
