Ireland are trying to claim the Duke? AHAHAHAHA. Give me a break. His family ruled over the Irish peasants like slave traders. They were Englishmen (of anglo-norman descent) placed in a land to keep the leprechaun down. Fuck Ireland and its shitty history. It's just a stomping ground for the great British army.
@StudentEntrepreneur clown, most of the British army had Irish men that have died for the Empire and fought hard still today in the Royal Irish, Irish guards, Queens Royal Hussars and all over the British army and you repay us by treating us like dogs? The Duke was Anglo-Irish and Irish people are almost all made up of Norman all Gaelic DNA. so your comment on anglo-Normans is ignorant like all of your comment.
@freebeerfordworkers Whether as something as trivial as a quote was disputed is by the by. The fact of the matter still remains that the Wellesly family are English.
Don't forget my British friends, Wellington was an Irish Man, and if it wasn't for him, Europe would have been in a lot of trouble. Ironic isn't it, an Irish man saving the Empire :P
@SolitudeNaSkellig Heh, im not starting anything, but his family was of English decent, (thats why he reverted back to Wellesley from Wesley), so tbh he was'nt Irish.
On the contrary, his ancestors were Norman not English, the Wellesleys. To say that he was English demonstrates your lack of knowledge of the subject. So like it or not, ask any historian or scholar, who he was and they will tell you he was Irish, sorry.
@SolitudeNaSkellig Yes, which the normans then more or less transformed into the English people as we know it today speaking our language and adopting out cultureAlso do you realize that you say that i have a lack of knowledge and then going on to contradict yourself by saying he's Irish, even though a few sentences ago you called their family Norman? So moreorless he wasnt Irish, but English (also he was ashamed of living in Ireland, he said *being born in a stable does not make a man a horse*)
Young man I never contradicted myself, just because his heritage was Norman does not make him any less Irish, tell that to anyone descended from immigrants and see what their reply would be. Just accept it, some of you people from Britain can't admit the fact that one of your greatest heroes was Irish, just get over it and move on. Then again you are only 14, as the saying goes, age before wisdom, keep an open mind and you will learn a lot, conversation finished, good day.
@SolitudeNaSkellig Wait so lets say he is Irish, and if he lives in Ireland he is Irish, does'nt that mean that if the normans lved in England they are not norman but English? also you do realize he didnt even class himself as Irish?
@SolitudeNaSkellig Oh yeah, soz about not meticulously checking my account info, shows im a bad person i guess, also i guess all that i have posted all over on youtube must be wrong cuz i didnt change my age to 14. God how much of an idiot do i feel now!
No your age earlier was 14 and it was recently changed to 21, just pointing it out, maybe you made an honest mistake when you finger slipped, who knows?
@SolitudeNaSkellig ''No your age earlier was 14 and it was recently changed to 21, just pointing it out, maybe you made an honest mistake when you finger slipped, who knows?''
Ye cant find the way to bloody change it back lol
@SolitudeNaSkellig both of you are wrong. He was English, his family had lived in Ireland for many years, but like many other aristocratic families living in ireland they would never mix with the locals and would often come home to get married. To quote the leading authorite in the matter ''His father was born a Colley of Castle Carbury, a member of a family that originated in the English midlands and had lived in Ireland for 300 years without a single irish name appering on its pedigree.
@MrExtremerightwing 400 years ago an English officer said that in Ireland it was impossible then to say who was Irish and who was English. "Who do you think you are" found Graham Norton's family was from Yorkshire does that make him English?
Nevertheless Wellington was referred to by the army - without any disrespect - as "The big nosed Irishman". A lot of British officers are of Irish origin, Montgomery for one - his family home is in Donegal where his brother lived all his life.
@freebeerfordworkers These other points you bring up are in no way bearing on the question in hand, what may be true for others is not true in this case. The fact is that unlike, (and we shall use your comparison), Graham, yes his main line is from England and would absolutely make him so, but for the fact that subsequent decendants of the original ancester intergrated and married other Irish people therefore mudying the picture. The Wellesley family are not so. They have remained 100% English.
I think what people get confused about is the differnce between a nation and a country. A nation is the people, and they remain so wherever they are located. A country is only dirt. A friend of mine, her family were a part of the british raj in india, she came home in her teens, (she is now in her 80's), her family were there for several generations. They do not consider themselves Indian. To quote the duke on being called irish, 'If i were born in a stable, would you call me a horse'
He always hated that he was born in Ireland, and counted himself as English all his life. He said this on the matter...
"Just because a man is born in a stable, dosent make him a horse". The Duke was always offended when his Irish birth was metioned, do some reasurch on it. And its an injustice too call him Irish today. If he wished not to be Irish, respect his wishes and leave it that he was British...
Fernando VII awarded him the Duchy of Ciudad Rodrigo with Grandee of Spain, dated 01/30/1812. This title is maintained to this day his descendant Arthur Valerian Wellesley. He was also granted the rank of Captain General of the Royal Spanish Army.
napoleon was very aggressive, and when you move aggresivelly you make mistakes. Its what wellington used to win napoleon. Wellington's superiority number with the fact that napoleon couldnt move his artillery cause of rain, made wellington winner. When it comes to military genious however i believe that napoleon was far more superior than wellington.
It is obvious that Spanish and English have always been enemies but in Spain always hated the British without knowing that perhaps the issue of Gibraltar painful but this man saved Spain from the French, is not only hero in Uk is also a hero in Spain! Spain, France, England sometimes friends sometimes enemies now friends thanks God !
Interesting comment from Jabthe cat. Yes, at first all the kings and monarchs must have been very worried by this radical new idea of a republic.

He was elected pm from a rotten borough in ireland were there was only 24 voters all controlled by a ruthless landowner, he hated the irish, he would probably have never got into westminister if proper democracy existed back then it was only through corruption that he ever stood for pm, large portions of industrial britain were deprived of proper respresentation so upper class twits like him could stand in the powers that be..
I really don't know what Emigrate's Wake Up have to do with this video or film, it's weird, anyway Napoleon was a great military officer, even though he was defeated by Wellington.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That may be so, but Napoleon made the best out of Europe, England isn't exactly what you would call the best anymore, it's full of chavs and delinquents, the Queen should just give up already.
-he was into killing everyone......who wasnt French,he didn´t do that,Napoleon liberated many peoples,and even had great support in all Europe intellectual elites.
His big problem was he was militarist,and he didn´t know when to stop.
French are delinquents,even so far better than english nazis like yourself.
"His big problem was he was militarist,and he didn´t know when to stop"
Well, ViriathusVingathor -you have in that quote just admitted that just like Hitler Napoleon was a fascist, -THANKYOU that is just what I said !
By the way, if you read my postings properly you would have realised that I am proud in my nation's putting down of the scum of Europe -allowing my country and across europe to have the freedoms they enjoy today. That most certainly does not make me a nazi. Idiot.
pfff "liberated" he was oppressing the people of europe for fucksake. If europe was liberated by him then why was every country fighting him eh?....bloody stupid statement there mate
"napoleon made the best out of europe" yeah right by oppressing europe and scabbing the resources since he taught his armies to live off the land. Wellington relied on supplies from england and from the spanish allies.
The Napoleonic wars, a struggle between monarchy and the new republic. Why all the countrys fight vs France... only because Kings were afraid to loose their power....
lol the monarchies dont exactly hold any power over their people since they have parliements. secondly france was hardly a new republic since you had an emperor...aka napoleon bonaparte
It was a different time, most monarchies held alot of power of the people including england. Not to mentention napoleon was democraticly elected to office and then elected as emporer.
that's wrong the monarchy of britain never held any power over it's subjects, it was actually parliement that held the power, the monarchy was just a figurehead. most monarchist nations had adopted that system during that time.
Duke of Wellington received £61,000 for his victory at Waterloo, pales into insignificance compared to the £500,000 he earnt after the Peninsular war.
The greatest soldier in the history of the British Army...and there have been a few. My sons middle name is Wellesley. My wife didn't want Wellington as a name.
Don't know much about European history as America only has about 300 years where as europe has thousands years of history. Both Wellington and Napoleaon were great Commanding Officers.
Boudacia with the Britian tribe the Iceni 60 and 61AD proved at Camulodunum (Colchester),Massacre of the 9th legion where over 2,000 Romans were slaughtered, Verulamium (St. Albans) and Roman London that Britain were a horrible scourge on the Roman occupation.
London,York,Scotland and parts of Wales gave most problems to the Romans, but by late 4th century they joined us or went back to wherever they come from, which at that time was from modern day Italy all over Europe and North Africa.
wrong, ceasar only subdued the southern tribes to a treaty they didnt keep and ceasar knew they wouldnt but he could do nothing about it. Your right he was a great general probably one of the best but he did loose in gergovia to Vercingetorix like the britons a celt. He iof all people apreciated the ferocity of the celts which why he was able to conquor them but he met his match (like napoleon) with the celts ins sevral places.
Please be reminded that it was Wellington who won the Peninsular War against the French. He was constantly outnumbered and out-gunned but he not only prevailed against the French attacks, he finally managed to strike back against the numerous French. Wellington also won brilliant victories in India, such as: Assyae over the local warlords' armies trained by the French. So Wellington is certainly a brilliant general.
i know you made this comment 2 months ago but it has always pissed me of that napoleon gets all the plaudits.he is used as a bench mark for a great general,when in actual fact he lost, and the "sepoy general"won.they use arguments like how he managed to get the shambles of the army of italy into a cohesive fighting unit.but welsley never used conscription.and you can be damned sure if he invaded russia the men would be fed and well equiped.i think it all boils down to anti british sentiment.
napoleon won more battles than any other commander in history and wellington famously described him as the greatest commander of all time. anti-british sentiment, no. humility and honesty more like
napoleon was a great general,however i personaly think that for want of a better word wellingtons grass roots aproach to running an army,making sure the men got fed and paid,not stealing for food which in the end meant having for napoleon to divert troops to guard against partisans,a problem wellington never had in france,also wellington had to make a hodge podge army from every nation work and work so well as to defeat napoleon.should he not be given credit for wearing his enimies down(cont)
The French armies didn't always forage for their food. Vast amounts of food was provided by the army supply system. The Spanish guerillas were stirred up by the Catholic Church and not because of foraging. The proof of which is that they started butchering isolated French troops and wounded when the army was still living off its supplies.
Additionally, the Grande Armée had troops from all over Europe, Asia and North Africa in its ranks.
napoleon told them to live of the land and the population,and they did it with great gusto with napoleon full ruthless blessing.
and the grande arm'ee may of had troops from all over the world,but they would identify themselves as french army,it stands as testimony the diplomat that was wellington because he brought different armies together under his controll with diferent ways of doing things just look at the prince of orange he almost fucked it.
foraging because in central Europe for example, the Grande Armée was supplied and paid its way to a great extent. Don't believe everything that comes out of Bernard Cornwell. Look up the bills for bread, biscuit and fodder that the Emperor coughed up to supply his troops. I recommend you the 1812 documentary in the Cromwell collection.
And if you compare the GA to the Russian Army's great-souled willingness to treat their allies' territory much like they'd treat their enemy's...
and as for the poor Prince of Orange, all he did was order one of his officers to obey the order that the officer's commanding general had given him. unfortunately this is still standard military practice, as a commander can't tell a subordinate that the order given by the subordinate's immediate superior is wrong. but it shows you that Orange got the blame for that particular battalion of the KGL getting flattened by a cuirassier unit that wanted revenge for earlier in the day.
fair do,i will watch that.the russians have always been hartless bastards,and bernard cornwell is where my intrest started but not finished and certainly not the tv show enjoyable but it seems to me that sharpe killed more men with a kick up the backside than anything else.
and can i reccomend a book by mark urban called the rifles,very intresting made from letters home,to top brass criminal records not just facts and figures.
and the troops in the Grande Armée from all over the world identified themselves as "the Grande Armée", not the French Army. Not least those from the Vistula Legion (Duchy of Warsaw /Poland), the Helvetic Confederation (Switzerland), the Kingdom of Italy, or the Confederation of the Rhine. Try getting past that language barrier. Wellington only dealt with the top brass (like Orange or Blucher)
They only ever met once and Boney lost. He said Wellington is a bad general and the English are bad troops.He arrogantly dismissed one of his Genarals who commented the quality of English infantry when deployed by Wellington in a good defensive position. This will be a picnic and the battle shall be over by Dinner. Oh dear got it wrong did the French Hitler.
He didn't say "over by dinner" and he was fed up to the back teeth with those of his generals who'd lost to Wellington droning on about the English general's talent.
Wellington said that Napoleon was the greatest general of all time, and as for "the French Hitler", read books instead of burning them. The majority of Jews look on Napoleon as their friend and liberator, so the comparison falls flat for that alone.
Perhaps not, but he was arrogant and cruel, he killed French people by the 100s in 1794 in paris whilst defending the Tuileries, firing cannon and grapeshot at protesters, he also puffed with much pride at his victorys, all over Europe stealing immense sums of Gold and Silver, art and other valubles from countrys leaving hopelessness and destruction behind him, thats not even mentioning atrocitys committed against peoples of Egypt campaign, Haiti, and Spain.
Well wellington was an eccelent general he had already won the paninsula war against the french befor waterloo but yes it was a joined victoy without all the allies nepolion might well have won but he didnt so why bother arguing like noobs

Dont get me wrong sure that Wellington was a great general but he was nothing compare to Napoleon.Wellington army better then Napoleon army i really dont buy that.I futher worse it was the french who attack the English first with determination, the English would had never attack first.

Lucky with the help of the Russian and the Prussian, that is what is call a Pyhhrus victory. Blucher was there to save the lucky Wellington General.Yes your wright about the Dutch and the Belgian they had join Wellington army. Lucky general always loose when they have no futher luck.Napoleon fought against Europe with no Luck.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wellington was nothing compare to Napoleon.Napaoleon fought against many nations in is time. Not Wellington.And actually at the battle of Waterllo he was lucky to have the Prussian at is side because he would had loose the battle verry badly.
Maybe he wasn`t a genius like Nappy but don`t forget Wellington won the war in the peninsular undefeated in battle and drove up into France from the pyrenees,also don`t forget France made war on all these countries out of choice.You say Wellington was lucky at Waterloo,what was it Nappy said ? "Give me lucky generals".
@bazzatheblue, Napoleon and France never made war from 1804-1815, even his empire was created out of these relentless attacks from the allied nations.
So what are you saying? Napoleon was not a conquerer? He never invaded other nations, Austria, Peninsular's of Spain and Italy, Flanders, Egypt, Russia and Germany?
If that's not making war then what is? Invasion is Invasion, no exceptions to the rule whoever they are.
@Woodlander65, I was referring to Napoleonic France, not during the times of the Revolution when he was fighting for the directoire. Have you ever thought of the reasons why? He went through Spain in order to take Portugal as part of his continental system, and the Bourbon family was crazy in Spain, King Charles was inept in ruling, his song prince Ferdinand was a stupid fellow. Napoleon believed that the people wanted a better ruler.
@Woodlander65, Well in the Napoleonic wars, he was the who was always getting attacked, what else was he supposed to do. Again, in the final coalition, everyone declared war on Napoleon not France. He even sent peace proposals to his former enemies and there was even a debate and a vote in Britain whether they think it is right to force upon the French people a monarch they overthrew 20 years ago. He invaded Flanders only to seperately beat the Allied armies that were preparing to invade France.
@Woodlander65, do you think that Napoleon had intentions to invade the countries of Europe? As he defeats each coalition, he has to neccessarily become more strict with the enemies he defeated. For example, Austria declared war five times and lost five times. He also stripped the Austrian empire of its' lands in central Europe and made them pay war a fine for the trouble they were causing him. Before a coaltion war, he always wrote a peace proposal and they are always ignored.
@Woodlander65, in the six Coalition, again he was declared war upon, and the best way to defeat your enemy decisively is to take the fight to their land. The invasion of Russia was because the Tzar Alexander I, continued to trade with the British even though he promised to stop after signing the treaty of Tilsit in 1807. Napoleon never was in Flanders, he was fighting in Italy. The expedition of Egypt was Napoleon's suggestion in order to harm to British trade by cutting off the India road.
At the Congress of Vienna against the opposition of both the Bonapartists & the Bourbons, Wellington pressed to have slavery abolished in the French Empire. Both as a general and as a statesman the Duke was a greater man than Napoleon. But look at how many books & movies are made about Napoleon vs Wellington. MSM bias has existed for centuries.
Nothing? He defeated the greatest military minds of the 18th century and then crowned it off by defeating the greatest Military mind of the era, namely a CORSICAN called Napoleon who was more Italian than French, lol.
if u mean to say that wellington was better than Napoleon :))...than ur stupid :))
he was very good on the defensive, he had beaten napoleon with a lot of luck...prussian help...and a idiot french general that slaughtered napoleon's cavalary :))
read a little bit buddy :))
if napoleon would actually of paid a little atention 2 wellington at waterloo we'd all be speakin french...but napoleon just got a little bit sicker and more arogant in his older days...but still the greatest military mind
rofl you're funny man. usa didnt help alot during WW1 since they arrived at the very end of the war. You should listen to your teacher a bit more when it's about history tbh... or if you're not a young one, you should read a bit more, like the part where french army saved americans asses vs english during independance war, there are excellent articles about it.
No, they're agnostic businessmen who have little or no faith.
As I said, you're either a troll or inbred.
Either way you lost the Second World War and are reduced to posting whiny commments on Youtube. You're either a failure and can't get yourself heard anywhere but on here, or a troll who has no way of getting people to pay attention to him other than on here.
Bloody hell I have too agre with Stafyn you really are a Neo-Nazi shit arn't you? Britian and US (Along with most of the world) kicked you scum out of germany 60 years ago so shut the &"*! up, I admit I'm not fond of US, but I still must side with Stafyn
In WW1 the French did the majority of fighting on the Western Front, they had more men, defended a far greater expanse of land and had better leaders. It is insulting and ignorant to spit on the blood that was shed by MILLIONS of French Soldiers in that awful war. As for the rest during the medieval and early modern ages the French were a military force to be reckoned with, for a period of about 80 years in the 16-17th centuries they were undefeated in about 54 land engagements.
1066? The Normans were not French you idiot, they were of Nordic decent and hated the then Frankish King. So no... I hate the way France tries to say 1066 had something to do with them, fucking annoying.
Wellington was awesome and yes he did defeat Napoleon. He had a little help though, like another entire army.

He was elected pm from a rotten borough in ireland were there was only 24 voters all controlled by a ruthless landowner, he hated the irish, he would probably have never got into westminister if proper democracy existed back then it was only through corruption that he ever stood for pm, large portions of industrial britain were deprived of proper respresentation so upper class twits like him could stand in the powers that be..

London,York,Scotland and parts of Wales gave most problems to the Romans, but by late 4th century they joined us or went back to wherever they come from, which at that time was from modern day Italy all over Europe and North Africa.

wrong, ceasar only subdued the southern tribes to a treaty they didnt keep and ceasar knew they wouldnt but he could do nothing about it. Your right he was a great general probably one of the best but he did loose in gergovia to Vercingetorix like the britons a celt. He iof all people apreciated the ferocity of the celts which why he was able to conquor them but he met his match (like napoleon) with the celts ins sevral places.

Please be reminded that it was Wellington who won the Peninsular War against the French. He was constantly outnumbered and out-gunned but he not only prevailed against the French attacks, he finally managed to strike back against the numerous French. Wellington also won brilliant victories in India, such as: Assyae over the local warlords' armies trained by the French. So Wellington is certainly a brilliant general.

i know you made this comment 2 months ago but it has always pissed me of that napoleon gets all the plaudits.he is used as a bench mark for a great general,when in actual fact he lost, and the "sepoy general"won.they use arguments like how he managed to get the shambles of the army of italy into a cohesive fighting unit.but welsley never used conscription.and you can be damned sure if he invaded russia the men would be fed and well equiped.i think it all boils down to anti british sentiment.

napoleon won more battles than any other commander in history and wellington famously described him as the greatest commander of all time. anti-british sentiment, no. humility and honesty more like
NapoleonCalland 3 years ago
napoleon was a great general,however i personaly think that for want of a better word wellingtons grass roots aproach to running an army,making sure the men got fed and paid,not stealing for food which in the end meant having for napoleon to divert troops to guard against partisans,a problem wellington never had in france,also wellington had to make a hodge podge army from every nation work and work so well as to defeat napoleon.should he not be given credit for wearing his enimies down(cont)
liamgyu 3 years ago
The French armies didn't always forage for their food. Vast amounts of food was provided by the army supply system. The Spanish guerillas were stirred up by the Catholic Church and not because of foraging. The proof of which is that they started butchering isolated French troops and wounded when the army was still living off its supplies.
Additionally, the Grande Armée had troops from all over Europe, Asia and North Africa in its ranks.
NapoleonCalland 3 years ago
foraging,that's quite a light turn of phrase.
napoleon told them to live of the land and the population,and they did it with great gusto with napoleon full ruthless blessing.
and the grande arm'ee may of had troops from all over the world,but they would identify themselves as french army,it stands as testimony the diplomat that was wellington because he brought different armies together under his controll with diferent ways of doing things just look at the prince of orange he almost fucked it.
liamgyu 3 years ago
foraging because in central Europe for example, the Grande Armée was supplied and paid its way to a great extent. Don't believe everything that comes out of Bernard Cornwell. Look up the bills for bread, biscuit and fodder that the Emperor coughed up to supply his troops. I recommend you the 1812 documentary in the Cromwell collection.
And if you compare the GA to the Russian Army's great-souled willingness to treat their allies' territory much like they'd treat their enemy's...
NapoleonCalland 3 years ago
and as for the poor Prince of Orange, all he did was order one of his officers to obey the order that the officer's commanding general had given him. unfortunately this is still standard military practice, as a commander can't tell a subordinate that the order given by the subordinate's immediate superior is wrong. but it shows you that Orange got the blame for that particular battalion of the KGL getting flattened by a cuirassier unit that wanted revenge for earlier in the day.
NapoleonCalland 3 years ago
fair do,i will watch that.the russians have always been hartless bastards,and bernard cornwell is where my intrest started but not finished and certainly not the tv show enjoyable but it seems to me that sharpe killed more men with a kick up the backside than anything else.
and can i reccomend a book by mark urban called the rifles,very intresting made from letters home,to top brass criminal records not just facts and figures.
liamgyu 3 years ago
and the troops in the Grande Armée from all over the world identified themselves as "the Grande Armée", not the French Army. Not least those from the Vistula Legion (Duchy of Warsaw /Poland), the Helvetic Confederation (Switzerland), the Kingdom of Italy, or the Confederation of the Rhine. Try getting past that language barrier. Wellington only dealt with the top brass (like Orange or Blucher)

They only ever met once and Boney lost. He said Wellington is a bad general and the English are bad troops.He arrogantly dismissed one of his Genarals who commented the quality of English infantry when deployed by Wellington in a good defensive position. This will be a picnic and the battle shall be over by Dinner. Oh dear got it wrong did the French Hitler.
beevers48 3 years ago
He didn't say "over by dinner" and he was fed up to the back teeth with those of his generals who'd lost to Wellington droning on about the English general's talent.
Wellington said that Napoleon was the greatest general of all time, and as for "the French Hitler", read books instead of burning them. The majority of Jews look on Napoleon as their friend and liberator, so the comparison falls flat for that alone.

Woodlander65 1 year ago
@Woodlander65, I was referring to Napoleonic France, not during the times of the Revolution when he was fighting for the directoire. Have you ever thought of the reasons why? He went through Spain in order to take Portugal as part of his continental system, and the Bourbon family was crazy in Spain, King Charles was inept in ruling, his song prince Ferdinand was a stupid fellow. Napoleon believed that the people wanted a better ruler.
expertstrategy 1 year ago
@expertstrategy
"Napoleon believed that the people wanted a better ruler." Well that was not up to him, that is up to the country of that ruler to rectify that.
But whatever his reasons why attempting to take countrys for himself is not right or justified no matter what his intentions are.
And i was refering to the last 100 days when i mentioned Flanders, where Napoleon was in Flanders, Waterloo.
Woodlander65 1 year ago
@Woodlander65, Well in the Napoleonic wars, he was the who was always getting attacked, what else was he supposed to do. Again, in the final coalition, everyone declared war on Napoleon not France. He even sent peace proposals to his former enemies and there was even a debate and a vote in Britain whether they think it is right to force upon the French people a monarch they overthrew 20 years ago. He invaded Flanders only to seperately beat the Allied armies that were preparing to invade France.
expertstrategy 1 year ago
@Woodlander65, do you think that Napoleon had intentions to invade the countries of Europe? As he defeats each coalition, he has to neccessarily become more strict with the enemies he defeated. For example, Austria declared war five times and lost five times. He also stripped the Austrian empire of its' lands in central Europe and made them pay war a fine for the trouble they were causing him. Before a coaltion war, he always wrote a peace proposal and they are always ignored.
expertstrategy 1 year ago
@Woodlander65, in the six Coalition, again he was declared war upon, and the best way to defeat your enemy decisively is to take the fight to their land. The invasion of Russia was because the Tzar Alexander I, continued to trade with the British even though he promised to stop after signing the treaty of Tilsit in 1807. Napoleon never was in Flanders, he was fighting in Italy. The expedition of Egypt was Napoleon's suggestion in order to harm to British trade by cutting off the India road.

In WW1 the French did the majority of fighting on the Western Front, they had more men, defended a far greater expanse of land and had better leaders. It is insulting and ignorant to spit on the blood that was shed by MILLIONS of French Soldiers in that awful war. As for the rest during the medieval and early modern ages the French were a military force to be reckoned with, for a period of about 80 years in the 16-17th centuries they were undefeated in about 54 land engagements.
