@lovegais Whats your point? Yes Napoleon sent Grouchy to deal with Blucher. It didn't work and how does that change the fact that Wellington had agreed to fight with Blucher. If the Prussians were not going to come then we would not have fought so you can't say they saved us.
Also i'm not English. You are either 12 years old or have anger issues due to the fact that you feel the need to swear and insult me in a debate.
I admire Napoelon just as much as anyone does so please grow up ok?
@lovegais Also most of Wellingtons troops in Waterloo had never seen action as all the troops that had kicked your arses in Spain were off killing Americans. Napoleons men on the other hand had thousands of vetrans yet the Brits still destroyed them :)
@dog75k You are a fucking joke. You do realize that Napoleon sent Grouchy to take care of the Prussians? Obviously he thought that he succeeded which apparently he didnt. and if it wasnt for your dear friend Blucher who did arrive late so that he think Grouchy have pwned him wouldnt send the guard you fucking moron. He sent the guard to humiliate Wellington's last forces after they got owned by him. Grouchy and Ney have nothing with Napoleon to do there
@lovegais no i shoudn't really be that happy the prussians arrived. You do realise that Wellington had planned with Blucher BEFORE the battle began that they would work together. Wellington would not of fought in the first place if he didn't know Blucher was going to come.
@dog75k And wtf do you think?? After Constant Riots and fucking everything its quite hard to face 3 countries and constant rebels ffs. Napoleon have done more than your dick english have ever done so read a fucking history book a stfu!
Can the retards who say that saying Vive l'empereur is like saying Heil Hitler?!?! Napoleon was nothing like fucking Hitler, He didnt butch 6 million jews did he? so STFU
@fuflang George Bush is closer to Hitler than Napoleon ever could be. If Napoleon had been alive in WWI and II he would have thrashed the Krauts right back to Berlin and buggered the Kaiser and Führer so hard in their miserable arses, they'd be unable to shit for a week!
@TalonMercenary The attack was mounted by five battalions of the Middle Guard, and not by the Grenadiers or Chasseurs of the Old Guard.
Three Old Guard battalions did move forward and formed the attack's second line, though they remained in reserve and did not directly assault the allied line.
@TotalWarTactics Of course they failed, there were few thousand guards against tens of thousands of Prussian infantry, cavalry and artillery, but they retreated in good order (did not rout) until they crashed with the fleeing french army, and became part of the mass of running soldiers.
The uk were the key to beating the greatest general in Europe both times round, money and the royal Navy kept all the other nations in the game. Who reorganised and funded the portugese? Who supplied weapons to the spanish. Those people forget that the UK were a small nation with a small but very proffesional army we needed those other nations to bulk up our forces when facing a nation that could field hundreds of throusands. I still belive N should have waited 2 more years before coming back.
@Challis1989 Exactly. The less successful European nations in the war like Austria and Prussia conveniently forget about Britain's impact, which held the coalitions together. Spain would have fallen if it weren't for British intervention with Wellington at the helm
@TalonMercenary I do however think had the N dog turned the grand army about forgot about russia for a year and sent the 400,000 without his allies to spain even with Wellington we would have been thrown back to Lisbon and Gibralter and both places falling. The big man made a few big errors. I'm willing to bet with 2-3 years proper peace the French marshals and men would have been refreshed from years of war and ready to take on Russia and would have won. Just my opinion tbh.
@Challis1989 Ya this is believable, Wellington did retreat back to Portugal when Napoleon came to Spain himself, in 1809 i think. The Brit/Portugese fortress/ Lines of Torres Vedras near Lisbon would have been very difficult for the French to break down however
@TalonMercenary Oh aye he would certainly have lost many men without any cunning maneuvers like marengo and wagram and other early battles tho i'm sure wellesly would have pulled off a few minor victories. No when N came to spain it was Sir John Moore in command of the army, wellington had just been sent home after his commanding general allowed Jouno to leave portugal un hindered. Masséna attacked the lines but was beaten back. he had 60,000 the allies nearly the same.
@Challis1989 AHHHHHHHHH yes now i remember! Can't think what Wellington was thinking letting Junot escape back to France like that, and on British ships aswell :/ Good on Moore though, R.I.P
@TalonMercenary Wellington never agreed to it he was replaced after the battle when a senior general arrived heard the terms and thought them favourable then another senior general arrived a day later with more men to add to the 12,000 saw that the french had 35,00 and shat it basically lol so said aye sign it yet wellington was ordered to sign it too for political reasons. all 3 pulled back to england took wellington nearly 3 months to clear his name. Love this period in history.
Napoleon is not third rate. Alexander too failed, in his case to conquer India. Alexander faced cowardly soldiers and generals who knew no tactics. Alexander, Ceaser, Wellington, Grant, Romell, they all are nothing compared to Napoleon.
@TotalWarTactics russia had it tough throughout napoleon's campaign in russia. they had to abandon moscow so that the french will capture it but no people to rule over.
There where Poles fighting in waterloo, but the 1st Polish Lancer Regiment disbanded after the first abdication of Napoleon, as where many foreign elite units.
Napoleon is histories greatest general. If he had some of his guards from his old campaigns, like the 1st Polish lancer regiment, he could have easily won at Waterloo.
@korlowskim The Poles went with him to Elba, and some of them were in Waterloo, look for the video: Battle of Waterloo - Charge of British heavy cavalry
You are funny with your arrogance . The old guard never ran . The old guard retreated in good order by killing all the allies who came. " Weliington and Brrtish troops " only 30 % of the troops were English .
"naploeon is 3rd rate sorry and always will be" Your arrogance is only matched by your lack of objectivty . Napoleon and French army are so 3rd rate that you always need allies to fight them .
There are only two wars in history where France fought against a united Germany under one government: WW1 and WW2. In both wars the French ass had to be saved by its allies. Even the war of 1870/71 was only a war of several independent German states against France (although France lost it). Yes, I really know real history, since I learnt it not on a chauvinist French school.
"since I learnt it not on a chauvinist French school." but you learn the arrogant German propaganda . The French in the history fighting alone in many wars and battles the Germans states Prussia , Hesse Kassel , Hanover , Bavaria , Brunswick , Saxony , Mainz , Paltinate and others Germans states allied with other country and kicked their ass many times . In WW2 the Germans had allies too and in WW1 it's the French alone who stopped the Germans .
Arrogance is more a French specialty. For centuries France continuously attacked single small German states, as you said Palatine, read about the sac du Palatinat to learn about it, or even individual cities such as Strassburg ("Strasbourg"). The only German attack ever was in 1914, contrary to the French the Germans fought alone then, and their attack could only be stopped when they were forced to withdraw 2 army corpses to fight the Russian invasion of East prussia in August 14.
Nope arrogance is German speciality , you are the living proof . "The only German attack ever was in 1914" you say really anything , the Germans With Their allies have never bothered to attacked France alone in the history like at the battle of Valmy , in the history in the majority of battles the French was alone against the Germans states allies with Russia , UK , Austria , Dutch , Sweden etc.. In WW1 the Germans was not alone on the east front in 1914
The battle of Valmy was suite to the French declaration of war on Austria and Prussia on 20 April 1792, the start of the first war of coalition. So it was a also French aggression - as many before and afterwards. Concerning WW1 and WW2 we are not talking about the Eastern front. We are talking about the fact that only A HALF of the German army without any allies on the western front was able to invade France and that the WHOLE French army was the one who needed allies for help.
" So it was a also French aggression " can you be serious five minutes a French agression on the Germans ON THE FRENCH TERRITORY , you are really funny . What a kind of hypocrite it's you who had spoken of the eastern front with the Russian and the French have not had need of allies to stopped the Germans at the battle of la Marne and the historical fact it's the Germans who had need alies to fight the French alone , so keep your arrogance .
Sure, if you declare war and THEN get invaded it is nonetheless your own act of aggression. Just as it was in 1870. Your typical French perception of history becomes increasingly funny. And it's you who alleged that the Germans needed allies to win over France and I just stated that in every case since Germany fought as an entity it was France who needed help. Just as they did in 1914 and 1940, when Brits and Belgians fought along with them against one half of the German army. :-)
With your hypocrisy you are really a typical arrogant Germans , in WW2 it's also the French who declared war so stop your bullshit to want to believe that the Germans were innocent in the fact that these wars took place.The latest French / German wars was always caused by the Germans . You are funny with self persuasion about Germany when the Germans states were allies they represented the same as Germany .
WW1 was caused by many reasons, among them the French inability to swallow that they had lost in 1870. Better stop reviewing the mutual aggressions of the last 400 years in order to justify your history - you'd loose that competition and you know it. Just have a look on a historic medieval map and a today's one and check out how the French border has moved eastwards exactly as long as no united Germany was there to stop your imperialism. And only this is my point. Deal with it.
What is sure is that because of the Germanns arrogance there were more deaths in Europe and the world than in any previous wars combined ."Germany was there to stop your imperialism" you are more and more funny because the Germans have never made imperialism lol and the Germans stopped nothing because the French have had one of the greatest empire of the mankind and the French have built the most largest country of Europe .
Sure, modern wars kill more people than ancient wars did. Nothing new about that. But something new is that the Germans are responsible for the death toll of the Asian war theater. As you raised the question for Europes largest country, have a look at your map of Russia. LOL. And maybe you haven't yet noticed it but for France those "great" times are over since German unity. Deal with it, too.
Not really the fact is that the Germans arrogance have killed millions people worldwide "have a look at your map of Russia" another clownish comment because Russia is not really a European country because the largest part of his territory is in Asia . You haven't noticed that the Germans " great " times have never existed and the Germans unity never prevent France having one of the greatest empire thing the Germans were never able to have.
About the Belgians should I remind you that it is the Germans who have invaded them in the 2 world wars and i repeat to you that the historical facts are that in history it's the Germans who had need allies more often than French .
Sure the small independent German states needed more allies against France than France needed allies to attack them. Usually a big man can rape a little girl, yes. No problem with it, I just can't see how this proves any French superiority in a theoretical 1:1 situation. The modern history tells something different. But if pre-1870 history gives you a boner try to get a blowjob - or a time machine.
Come on you are funny again with your bullshit the Germans states with their allies on paper was much more powerful than France and yet was still defeated . Like many troll you have a selective memory but not with masturbation that deal with the last wars between France and Germany you will change the fact that history is not just this time.
Je n'ai jamais considérer que les Français était la meilleur oeuvre de dieu , je considère plutôt que chaque peuple a ses quallités et ses défauts et chaque peuple a ses cotés sombres et ses cotés lumineux .

My friend, since the beggining, Napoleon was owning and you had chance that he had problem at spain, if not he was about to takeover London and Scotlands in less than a month.

@exportstrategy, the execution of the Duke was in the interest of the republic, the execution of the Turkish prisoners was an unfortunate necessity, he could not feed them, could not do anything with them. Of course these were not the most glorious moments of his life...
France was a weak country in chaos, surrounded by enemies, hardly able to defend herself. Then ONE MAN came and 10 years later France was the master of Europe. There is no chance to list his abilities, his knowledge (civil and military), and to discuss his character in depth here but I suggest to read all the books that are available...there has never been and will never be such a MAN again. And no, he never killed or had anybody killed out of personal motivation.
@kartyas, Napoleon did kill many people by his own hand. He ordered the execution of 3000 Turkish prisoners after taking Jaffa. Ordered the arrest and execution of the Duke of Enghien. Napoleon again ordered his troops to arrest Johann Philipp Palm for publishing an anti-French pamphlet. But other than those examples I listed above, Napoleon killed vastly few people. He never ordered any mass execution of civilians. Even great leaders have their hands covered in blood.
Napoleon was not the tireless figure he was at Austerlitz, even riding a horse now caused him severe discomfort, and it is almost certain he was suffering from acromegaly and possibly his haemorrhoids had reappeared again. Waterloo (British/Prussian Victory - you decide) was a stunning victory, but in Wellington's own words a 'damn close run thing', and not the kind of tactical genius seen at Austerlitz where Napoleon totally skadooshed two emperors out of the sea.
@R4pt0reX It sucks that Napoleon always has to appear as a shadow of defeat, alot of it has got to do with Britain and other coalition members discrediting him in slander campaigns (for example, the impression in British tabloids that Napoleon was short; despite the fact he 5 ft 10" which is taller than average) . I think it is important to remember that it took him 19 days to knock the Prussians out of the war and walk into Berlin victorious. That's impressive lol
@R4pt0reX you' re definetly right, but to a point : among all the great leaders you name, Alexandre the great was the only one who was NEVER defeated, which the exact reason for his nickname "the great".
@R4pt0reX Yes, you're right. Napoleon was a military genius, but sorry, I have to mention, that compared to Hannibal, maybe the most genious military leader (not faction leader at the same time), Napoleon had good and well-eqquipped army with reinforcement system, what luxury didn't Hannibal have. However, Napoleon was very skilled and talented leader in war and government. Sorry for my bad english...
I compare it, but Napoleon is over 40, 44 wins, 3, 4 losses statistically it's still harder to do and I think even preson has never managed to achieve such a score in history.
Whether Napoleon, Hannibal, Alexender the Great they were geniuses in their time.
@R4pt0reX Where do you get these numpty nonsensical figures from? Napoleon was in a lot more than 50 battles.. closer to 80 or which he won about 60, the rest either being defeats or inconclusive. Even Wellington was in about 60 battles between India and Napoleonic.
@R4pt0reX That's only 61 total - so you're wrong by a large margin. He was in more battles than that. I have every one listed, and referenced by date, war, country, opponents, type, his rank at the time, and outcome. Each one supported by a reference from, my library of 50 or so books on the subject.
@R4pt0reX Wars are always highly destructive, but he did also many reforms on Europe, for example, erradicating serfdom in Austria and Prussia. He was, making a new order with the ideals of the French Revolution, making european empires and old systems tremble, but it was clear that at the end, France also became...a dictatorship.
Waterloo,it was always intended,after Quatra Bras,that Wellington would stand and give battle at Mont St Jean,and that Blucher would come in on the Allied left flank,from Wavre,and close run it was ,but the French army was routed,and for the only time in its history the OLD Guard Retreated, La guarde Recule! Napoleon,no Hero,just a murderous dictator,frivolous with peoples lives.Should have been shot,instead of Marshall Ney.
@bluejacketbugler, I seriously doubt Napoleon was a murderous dictator. He killed very few people by his own hand. Napoleon never ordered any mass executions of civilians. He was frivolous with the lives of his men, but that's the kind of attitude you should expect from generals. WW I generals just tossed in wave after wave of soldiers only to be slaughtered by machine gun fire.
@Vampirewolfking, During the Napoleonic Era, you see Napoleon's marshals almost always fighting at the front lines in battle. Bessieres, Murat, Lannes, Ney, are the best examples.
@hulk0hulk And it's not only the tune. You see tall strong battle worn men in perfect determined step come toward you. And you knew that when they did that, the battle was over and they came to clean up.
I didnt say anything about the royal navy or even about an invasion on the islands, it was just about the battle itself, and in history there is no "if" so it was just my guess, but who knows, the russian and austrian armies would have needed about 1-2 months to reach France after waterloo. we will never know. my goal with my comments were to point out common misbeliefs about the battle.
@JeanRochCoignet Even if the Prussians hadn't aided the British forces at Waterloo it wouldn't have made a huge difference if we'd lost, the Royal Navy kept Great Britain safe and Napoleon would have lost eventually to another combined assault by the Allied Coalition.
8.Before you call Waterloo a british victory please for your own sake go and get a few books, whcih were not written by british authors and read them carefully and only then you will know the truth about waterloo.
The Old Guard managed to throw back british dragoons and hussars, and after that the pursuing prussian and anglo-allied troops didnt dare to go close to them.
7. Waterloo was an allied victory, however in my opinion without the prussians help the french could have used their young guard and about 12000 men on their right wing to break through the british lines, ofc it would have been a phyrric victory.
4.The 52nd regiment even shoot on their own allies the nassauers becasue they wore blue like the french.LOL
5.Meanwhile the prussians fought at Plancenoit(its still waterloo) with the french right wing and young guard and then later on with 2 battalions of the 2 regiments of the old guard.
6.the frnech old guard's first regiments of grenadiers and chasseurs formed squares to hold back the collapsing troops to be slaughtered.
@JeanRochCoignet It's get worse, later on the battle the 52nd (or some other British regiment) let some French escape because they thought they were Nassaurs/Dutch
3.NO it was the Middle Guard who fought with the british 1st foot guards, and the 1st foot guard was driven back by the 4th Chasseurs and then the nassauers came forward and drove the middle guard back.
4. No there wasnt any kind of general advance by the british troops because they were heavily engaged all day long, some cavalry squadrons were sent forward, with a few barely touched foot regiments, for example the 52nd oxfordshire light infantry regiment, just to mention a british regiment.
1. The so called British army consisted of Dutch,belgian,hannoverian,brunswick,Nassauer,english,scottish,irish,welsh troops.
The british were only 25000 strong out of 69000. so you cant call waterloo a british victory.
2.in Fact the prussians didnt arrive late, they arrived at 3 pm, the battle started at 11 am. they brought up about 40000 men to the battle, the prussian 2nd and 4th corps, while Thielemanns 3rd corp fought with Grouchy' french at Wavre.
Does anyone know the name of the bagpipe tune the Scots play when they attack? In the movie, it comes a little time before "The Girl I Left Behind Me".is played.

Napoleon vs all monarchs : that guy truly was the greatest man of all time!
Not only was he a military genius, succedding to rule Europe althought his army fought 40 battles being outnumbered.. but his ideas finally prevailed : The fall of all tyranic Monarchies, spreading of french revolution values, initiating the rise of republics and also the famous french civil code, now everywhere! No man in the earth had as much influence on the face of the world ! freedom and equality. Vive l'empereur !
Awesome movie, one shouldn't forget that on both sides there were all sorts of nationalities...those infamous 'French' lancers were poles for example! So its a non-issue to argue over who did what XP In general, eruope at this time - and for hundreds of years prior - was always bashing each others heads in!
I love the part in the film where Napoleon jumps off his horse, walks a bit,and then gets stuck in the mud XD "come on! Get me out! Get me out!" Makes it all seem more human XD
Face it frenches! Since trafalgar you were never going to defeat us, even 'if' the prussians turned the tide of battle, We were always going to win the war. God save Admiral Nelson! God save Duke Wellington! God save England!!!
@OoMaCLACKYoO, the reason why Britain won the Napoleonic Wars was mainly because they had the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians to do most of the fighting against the Grande Armee. If Napoleonic France and Great Britain were fighting one on one, France would most likely win, because it takes more than the Royal Navy to win a war.
@expertstrategy I'm sorry but i cannot agree with you there, The Royal Navy was unmatched at this time, because France could not defeat the British fleet it would've been almost impossible for Napoleon to cross the channel. Therefore France would never get their victory.
@OoMaCLACKYoO, True, the Royal Navy was unmatched, but the British army was very small in comparison to the other armies of Europe. France could field an army numbering in the millions, while the Brits could only field a couple hundred thousand volunteers. France could achieve their victory against Britain indirectly by defeating their Allies, which they almost achieved until 1812.

Napoleon is not third rate. Alexander too failed, in his case to conquer India. Alexander faced cowardly soldiers and generals who knew no tactics. Alexander, Ceaser, Wellington, Grant, Romell, they all are nothing compared to Napoleon.

There are only two wars in history where France fought against a united Germany under one government: WW1 and WW2. In both wars the French ass had to be saved by its allies. Even the war of 1870/71 was only a war of several independent German states against France (although France lost it).

"since I learnt it not on a chauvinist French school." but you learn the arrogant German propaganda .

In WW2 the Germans had allies too and in WW1 it's the French alone who stopped the Germans .

Arrogance is more a French specialty. For centuries France continuously attacked single small German states, as you said Palatine, read about the sac du Palatinat to learn about it, or even individual cities such as Strassburg ("Strasbourg"). The only German attack ever was in 1914, contrary to the French the Germans fought alone then, and their attack could only be stopped when they were forced to withdraw 2 army corpses to fight the Russian invasion of East prussia in August 14.

@MaximKretsch
Nope arrogance is German speciality , you are the living proof . "The only German attack ever was in 1914" you say really anything , the Germans With Their allies have never bothered to attacked France alone in the history like at the battle of Valmy , in the history in the majority of battles the French was alone against the Germans states allies with Russia , UK , Austria , Dutch , Sweden etc.. In WW1 the Germans was not alone on the east front in 1914
jeffkodiac 2 days ago
@jeffkodiac
The battle of Valmy was suite to the French declaration of war on Austria and Prussia on 20 April 1792, the start of the first war of coalition. So it was a also French aggression - as many before and afterwards. Concerning WW1 and WW2 we are not talking about the Eastern front. We are talking about the fact that only A HALF of the German army without any allies on the western front was able to invade France and that the WHOLE French army was the one who needed allies for help.

Sure, if you declare war and THEN get invaded it is nonetheless your own act of aggression. Just as it was in 1870. Your typical French perception of history becomes increasingly funny. And it's you who alleged that the Germans needed allies to win over France and I just stated that in every case since Germany fought as an entity it was France who needed help. Just as they did in 1914 and 1940, when Brits and Belgians fought along with them against one half of the German army. :-)

WW1 was caused by many reasons, among them the French inability to swallow that they had lost in 1870.

France was a weak country in chaos, surrounded by enemies, hardly able to defend herself. Then ONE MAN came and 10 years later France was the master of Europe. There is no chance to list his abilities, his knowledge (civil and military), and to discuss his character in depth here but I suggest to read all the books that are available...there has never been and will never be such a MAN again. And no, he never killed or had anybody killed out of personal motivation.

@kartyas, Napoleon did kill many people by his own hand. He ordered the execution of 3000 Turkish prisoners after taking Jaffa. Ordered the arrest and execution of the Duke of Enghien. Napoleon again ordered his troops to arrest Johann Philipp Palm for publishing an anti-French pamphlet. But other than those examples I listed above, Napoleon killed vastly few people. He never ordered any mass execution of civilians. Even great leaders have their hands covered in blood.

Napoleon was not the tireless figure he was at Austerlitz, even riding a horse now caused him severe discomfort, and it is almost certain he was suffering from acromegaly and possibly his haemorrhoids had reappeared again. Waterloo (British/Prussian Victory - you decide) was a stunning victory, but in Wellington's own words a 'damn close run thing', and not the kind of tactical genius seen at Austerlitz where Napoleon totally skadooshed two emperors out of the sea.

@R4pt0reX It sucks that Napoleon always has to appear as a shadow of defeat, alot of it has got to do with Britain and other coalition members discrediting him in slander campaigns (for example, the impression in British tabloids that Napoleon was short; despite the fact he 5 ft 10" which is taller than average) . I think it is important to remember that it took him 19 days to knock the Prussians out of the war and walk into Berlin victorious. That's impressive lol

JeanRochCoignet 7 months ago
The Old Guard managed to throw back british dragoons and hussars, and after that the pursuing prussian and anglo-allied troops didnt dare to go close to them.
7. Waterloo was an allied victory, however in my opinion without the prussians help the french could have used their young guard and about 12000 men on their right wing to break through the british lines, ofc it would have been a phyrric victory.
JeanRochCoignet 7 months ago
4.The 52nd regiment even shoot on their own allies the nassauers becasue they wore blue like the french.LOL
5.Meanwhile the prussians fought at Plancenoit(its still waterloo) with the french right wing and young guard and then later on with 2 battalions of the 2 regiments of the old guard.
6.the frnech old guard's first regiments of grenadiers and chasseurs formed squares to hold back the collapsing troops to be slaughtered.

4. No there wasnt any kind of general advance by the british troops because they were heavily engaged all day long, some cavalry squadrons were sent forward, with a few barely touched foot regiments, for example the 52nd oxfordshire light infantry regiment, just to mention a british regiment.

1. The so called British army consisted of Dutch,belgian,hannoverian,brunswick,Nassauer,english,scottish,irish,welsh troops.
The british were only 25000 strong out of 69000. so you cant call waterloo a british victory.
2.in Fact the prussians didnt arrive late, they arrived at 3 pm, the battle started at 11 am. they brought up about 40000 men to the battle, the prussian 2nd and 4th corps, while Thielemanns 3rd corp fought with Grouchy' french at Wavre.

If it had not rained the day before the battle of waterloo, Wellington would have just left his position off Mont Saint Jean.
He knew he couldn't beat Napoleon's forces while one his own...
Napoleon thought he could still won this campaign but he was "betrayed".
That's also what makes this battle so important.
He could have stopped or slow down the allied forces enough so that he could replenish his army...
Alea jacta est. Prussian's presence made all the difference.

OoMaCLACKYoO 9 months ago
@OoMaCLACKYoO, the reason why Britain won the Napoleonic Wars was mainly because they had the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians to do most of the fighting against the Grande Armee. If Napoleonic France and Great Britain were fighting one on one, France would most likely win, because it takes more than the Royal Navy to win a war.
expertstrategy 9 months ago 4
@expertstrategy I'm sorry but i cannot agree with you there, The Royal Navy was unmatched at this time, because France could not defeat the British fleet it would've been almost impossible for Napoleon to cross the channel. Therefore France would never get their victory.
OoMaCLACKYoO 9 months ago
@OoMaCLACKYoO, True, the Royal Navy was unmatched, but the British army was very small in comparison to the other armies of Europe. France could field an army numbering in the millions, while the Brits could only field a couple hundred thousand volunteers. France could achieve their victory against Britain indirectly by defeating their Allies, which they almost achieved until 1812.
