[tiairisper]

Beautiful french victory !

[Scoutrussp7]

If to watch at this battle from a tactic view, ofcourse french troops won that battle - they taked all russian positions. But if to look at this from stategical point, Napoleon throw all his power and resources to destroy russian army - but he was can't do it. So, after Borodino french army got a deadly wound and slow began to duying, from every day number of french soliers was smaller.

P.S yes, my english is crap.

[tiairisper]

Napoleon entered Russia in the head about 900 000 men, the biggest army of every time!

This army was too compact and very hard to make maneuver (except for for napoleon). Napoleon did not look even any more for the strategy, he sent this mass to head-on attack, anyway he knew that he was victorious even if he underwent colossal losses.... We distinguish military engineering of napoleon that when he has a small army against an opponent three times as numerous too my English is crap^^

[MOUSQUETAIRE1661]

It wasn't 900 000, but 600 000 French soldiers commanded by Napoléon, who invaded Russia in 1812 ( Because of the break of the Treaty of Tilsit by the Czar). It's rigth that for every people at t he moment, it was the biggest army ever seen in human history . For the rest of your comment, it's just, the Russian territory was too important: the classical Napoléon's maneuvrers became impracticable.

[AlonsoArdjuna]

in two words it was Pyrrhic victory

[oskaras77]

noone won this battle

[mochiKozlov]

Russia forever!!!

[creativeactionfigure]

Here is a consideration in terms of linear tactics in the era of the Civil War, Franco Prussian War, and WWI that I think is too often overlooked, communications. Keeping soldiers in close order gave commanders some control through voice commands. You will notice that the development of modern combined small unit tactics pretty much coincides with development of radio and telephone communications, where you can keep in close contact over larger areas, gathering information and giving orders.

[Rico8458]

was Lee still using napoleons tactics?

[pdogone1]

skyfrank that would be incorrect the union troops for the most part , were armed with the 58 caliber british enfield. only a few infantry had the breechloading rifles and or the repeaters.the confederates lost at gettysbrug for a number of reasons most importantly was that jackson was gone and longstreet just couldnt fill the void..a great fighter though he was regards come back

[pdogone1]

not right at gettysburg...union infantry still used the muzzle loading musket...what you are referring to, i believe, is the union cavalry of buford who had single shot breech loaders..the south lost at gettysburg for many reasons..not the lest is that lee's performance was not up to his previous campaigns..

[solardragon223]

True that longstreet, though Lee should have been brought up on charges.

Lee @ Gettysburg, was like Napoleon @ waterloo. Not Commander! of old.

[WoW540]

Hello France!! Am from Cyprus and I admit that I loveeee Napoleon to hell! We are studying Napoleonic Wars in history now from the very beginning till the hundred days and so on but i think that Borodino was on 7September no 4 am not sure

Воевали против половины европы - и смогли дать хорошенькую баньку им... Вечная память павшим за родину

[alainvig]

vive la france !

[Smitheeboy94]

I'm an American Civil War re-enactor and during the American Civil War we (the Americans) used Napolionic Tactics because we liked the way it worked, but unfortunately by the 1860's our weapons were just simpley too far advanced and the tactics were too old for it, and many young men died =[

[skyfrank]

the turning point was Gettysburg Battle~ while Northen troops started using advanced rifle...and their opponents were still using front-reload rifles.

so sad the Southern guys were Napolically marching towards to the north.....being slaughtered......

well, the Napolionic format were still used by french in some of the battles of WWI ... u can guest the rest.....

[Stormgebieder]

At the Somme, British commanders used the same tactics, as they tought they battered the German lines after an very long barrage, some officers even forbade running. Just marching into enemy lines. But it did'nt work, and in the first hour of the attack there were already 30.000 deads an wounded. In history of the fireweapon many men were killed by stupid old tactics because of the commanders were not able to keep up with the advancing technics.

[solardragon223]

Yes true, it was the last major reference they had, of a war! And Napoleon Broke w/ standard rules of warfare, changed it, therefor becoming, a sort of father of war to them! case in point, cavelry, it was obsolete by the civil war. But they used it.

[zlovonek]

This is a action of warhistori reconstraction groups in Russia on Borodino fields whiche was every year there at 3-4-5 septembe.

[rusbp]

God in the Sky!

Russia on the ground!

[cumbas]

@rusbp

??

eeeeeeh ??

you lost this battle I remember that to you...

& especially it is the past fortunatly because the only truth to see about this big battle (the biggest battle of the Napoleonic's time) is that it was a pure butchery for the both Armies

it was the VERDUN of this time :-(

Now we need just peace for us and our children

[krixx691]

@cumbas borodino is not the biggest battle of the napoleonic era (135 000 french and allied against 104 000 russian) only the third behind the battle of Wagram (180 000 french vs 161 000 austrian) and the biggest of all : Leipzig (185 000 french vs 250 000 allied).

[cumbas]

@krixx691

1a)

tu as fini gamin ? oui ?

Arêtes ton char et tes recherches "google search" derrière tous mes écrits, tu ne fais pas le poids surtout en les connaissances sur ce temps et cette période de l'histoire...

Tu m'as bien vu ?

Tu as vu ma chaine (moi je viens de voir la tienne et je me marre...)

Crois-tu que j'ai du temps à perdre à jouer sur les mots avec un gamin ? Non pour informations...

[cumbas]

@krixx691

2a-fin)

Donc à propos de ce que j'écris ici en anglais (langue que je ne manie pas très bien j'en suis conscient et du coup je n'arrive pas toujours à bien y exprimer ce que je voulais dire réellement) je me situe dans le cadre de cette vidéo et pas plus et donc je confirme bien que BORODINO (Bataille de la Moskova si tu veux) est bien la plus importante (et sanglante surtout là est la tristesse quand on y pense) bataille DE LA CAMPAGNE DE RUSSIE DES TEMPS NAPOLÉONIENS

Ah je te jure..

[krixx691]

@cumbas y a pas que l'anglais que tu ne manie pas très bien pfffff.

[cumbas]

@krixx691

Quoi ?

Mort de rire, enfin "mdr" comme tu écrirais.

Cela confirme bien pour moi le petit gamin arrogant et prétentieux que tu sembles être.

Sur ce, comme j'estime m'être assez intéressé à ton pauvre petit cas (je ne suis pas là pour faire des B.A. après tout) et que je n'ai pas pour habitude de perdre mon temps avec d'insignifiants provocateurs dans ton genre, je te laisse à tes divagations de gamin un peu perdu

[krixx691]

@cumbas oui oui, en attendant file acheter l'histoire napoléonienne pour les nuls (ou très nuls dans ton cas) reprend a partir du début et quand tu aura un bon niveau qui t'évitera de dire des énormités (ca fait déja deux fois que je te corrige il me semble) tu pourra revenir sur internet. Moi par contre je ne m'interresse nullement à ton cas, je rectifie la vérité (chose que tu devrai aimer) quand des pseudos historiens dans ton genre l'a déforme, Vieillard plus que prétentieux !
