From a man who single-handedly took over most of Europe, to shooting a frozen lake to drown the enemy, to walking in front of a firing squad and telling them to SHOOT you in the chest.

I’ve been obsessed with the history of Napoleon so this was the perfect time to make this video

"There is no immortality but the memories that lies in the minds of me. To have lived without glory or without leaving your mark upon the world is to not live at all." - Napoleon Bonaparte

Fun fact! Charles Joseph Bonaparte was the grandson of the youngest Brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, Jérôme Bonaparte, and served in the cabinet of Theodore Roosevelt as the Secretary of the Navy from July, 1905 to December, 1906 and then the Attorney General from December, 1906 to March, 1909. Charles Joseph Bonaparte later founded the FBI on July 26, 1908.

Either the Spanish-American war or the Chinese Civil War should be next, or the French Revolution, maybe even the Mexican Revolution

That "thirsty anybody?" line with the dead general in the liquor barrel. Pretty funny. 😅

The Napoleonic Wars really had some of the most insane moments in military history. The frozen lake story alone sounds like something from a movie, and the fact that these things actually happened makes the whole era even more fascinating. Great video!

Thank you Agent Flappy! I didn’t think you would notice my comment in the French and Indian War, but now you did the war! Thank you! 😊😊😊😊

Fun Fact: At Borodino Napoleon's Marshals actually suggested to their Emperor to perform a great Wheeling Motion to break the Russians and win that battle. But Napoleon said no. Had he said yes the battle and maybe history would've been quite different.

Man I love the Alternative History scenarios. What if Napoleon conquered Britain?

I liked your video summary of the Napoleonic Wars, but you forgot to include the Coup of 18 Brumaire, in which Napoleon Bonaparte took advantage of the Directory's political weakness to stage a coup that overthrew the government, ushering in a new French administration known as the Consulate—with Napoleon as First Consul—as he steadily amassed more power.
