@leguerrier87 "a man sitting way behind on a hill or in a tent giving orders", please read a book. examples: arcole, siege of acre, toulon, pont de lodi... and i'd like to see you ridding 10 hours a day on a horse's back, eating while riding, and at night sleeping 2-3 hours before waking up to review troops movements(ulm-austerlitz)

@boss180888

you read a book moron armies not leaders/fighters fought wars. id like to see you tell soldiers fighting current wars that their leaders fought their battles.

[boss180888]

@leguerrier87 "there were tens of officers leading their men into battle"- true but none of them were as good as napoleon, idk where you got the idea that all the credit is given to napoleon when the grand armée is regarded as second in discipline,bravery and organization only to the roman legions.

...(cont...)

[expertstrategy]

@leguerrier87, without the leadership and talents of a commander, the army is nothing, and vice versa.

206 years ago today, the Great Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte crushed the combined armies of of the empires of Austria and Russia at Austerlitz on the eve of his coronation, and thereby brought an end to both the War of the Third Coalition and the 1000 year-old Holy Roman Empire. Raises your glasses to this memory and proclaim, Vive l'Empereur!

[clement63L3]

Aujourd'hui : date anniversaire des 206 ans du triomphe d'Austerlitz! date anniversaire également des 207 ans du sacre de l'Empereur!

"A nous le souvenir, à eux l'immortalité"

Vive l'Empereur!

На месте французов на выборах я бы голосовал против Бонапарта и за Людовика 14)

[dman9dman]

Впрочем пост отличный - спасибо)

[dman9dman]

Быстро!Быстро!)))

[vidman163]

Most people think that Britian absolutely hated Napoleon but really it was just the Monarch and Prime Minister who would fight to the end. When Napoleon was on St.Helena most citizens demanded that he be treated like an equal citizen, there were also plans from certain senators to help Napoleon become Emperor again except with British support should Lord Holland and other guys become the PM because King George had no successor except for jerome Bonaparte's son.

[juultjuh99]

@vidman163 Glad to hear that, but how the British treated the Emperor Napoleon was inhumane, still better then how the Russians and Prussian would have treated him, but still inhumane.

[lahire666]

@juultjuh99 Actually, trying to ridicule Napoleon, the English showed their baseness and offered him the end he deserved : epic, legendary, homeric, titanic !!!

[juultjuh99]

I am ashamed my countryman turned against him when he returned from his first exile.

[juultjuh99]

Napoleon is the most amazing man ever lived. i made from him my personal study.

[boss180888]

@juultjuh99 yes he is my favorite person in history, along with julius caesar.

[WikiLeaksTUBE]

Bravo Cajun, la France devrait te décerner un prix honorifique!!! : )

[laloyaux]

Vive L'Empereur <3

[umbrum2]

Austerlitz may be Napoleons master piece, but this video is yours!!

[RitterDesHimmels1]

Only the Poles remained loyal to Napoleon till the very end. Even when he was abandoned by all of his allies, Poles fought by his side.

[ANTIHYTLERS]

napoleon bonaparte was the best general in modern history.

greetings from spain.

[BaTBaiLeyS]

Une glorieuse vidéo, faisant l'éloge fidèle d'une glorieuse époque ^^ Bravo!

[hommechauvesouris]

Une véritable oeuvre d'art cette vidéo. Cajun tu viens de réaliser ton chef d'oeuvre. Mère patrie peut etre fière.

[Djarzel]

c est pas la cavalerie Mamelouk qui a affronté la garde montée Russe ?

[lahire666]

@Djarzel Je crois que c'est bien les grenadiers à cheval, juste accompagnés de quelques dizaines de mamelouks.

[Djarzel]

@lahire666 dizaines c est pas possible , vu quils sont specialisés du combat rapproché avec sabre , il devait avoir un régiment , je sais pas trop ...

[thecajuncutthroat]

@Djarzel Apparemment, 48 Mamelouks de la Garde ont chargé à Austerlitz, avec les 706 Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde.

[Aelkamal]

j'en suis resté bouche bée!

[EmperorOfVictory]

Where was Napoleon born?

[expertstrategy]

@EmperorOfVictory, Ajaccio, Corsica

[lahire666]

@EmperorOfVictory Corsica was already a French territory when Napoleon was born.

Jean Lannes was the son of a Gascon farmer not a merchant.

[Nettempereur]

@expertstrategy In fr.wikipedia, they say he was the son of another Jean Lannes, who was trafiqueur (it doesn't exist anymore) it means a man who sells goods to other merchants. A kind of small wholesellers. And he was born in Lectoure, Midi-Pyrénées so he was Gascon indeed.

[expertstrategy]

@Nettempereur, from this book "Napoleon's Marshals" written by David G Chandler, Jean was the son of a farmer. It's interesting that English and French wikipedia are different in many aspects.

[Nettempereur]

@expertstrategy That's annoying actually. What is the truth? Often, I trust a book rather than a website, but I need to check somewhere else. I will tell you, my friend.

[Sam140791]

MAGNIFIQUE !!!



[Nettempereur]

Magnifique vidéo! Très content de notre tradution ^^

[titiboo90]

The most beautiful mounting ever realised by Thecajunccutthroat !

Merci beaucoup !

[IamthePopeRome]

Astonishing video. You have our applause.

[minhounou]

Jean baptiste Bernadotte became after the battle of Austerlitz the king of Sweden.

[expertstrategy]

@minhounou, Bernadotte became King of Sweden in 1810.

[minhounou]

@expertstrategy I knew that expert. ^^

[expertstrategy]

@minhounou, yes, but you said after Austerlitz, so it's a little confusing from the way you said it. You could have said that Bernadotte became King of Sweden shortly after the Fifth Coalition War.

[bertraand]

Continue mec c'est énorme ce que tu fais, dans toute l'histoire la phase napoléon est celle qui me fait le plus rêvé. Parcequ'après pour la france c'est la descente au enfer (1870, 1940,1954 ..). Et tous ce que retiennent les américains (les étrangers en général) c'est qu'on a perdu la 2Gm et qu'on c'est rendue sans opposer de résistance. Sa me fait bien rire vu que les ricains n'avaient qu'a peine 3 siècles de vie nothing comparer à nous.

[NScott45]

@bertraand sans prendre en compte le fait que les américains ont perdu la grande majorité de leurs conflits...

[expertstrategy]

Thanks for the English version.

[Grimgor2a]

Une réussite éclatante comme d'habitude ! Merci !

[RobertSurcouf01]

"England will fight bravely against Napoleon

to the last drop of Prussian, Austrian

and Russian blood".

German saying, during the Napoleonic Era

[TalonMercenary]

@RobertSurcouf01 Britain did its part in the Peninsular war, financially backing the other coalition members and blockading French held ports

[Nettempereur]

@TalonMercenary So said Francis. They paid the others to fight at their place and being struck. Not very glorious but cunning as it allowed them to open a second front in Spain.

[TalonMercenary]

@Nettempereur exactly

[refuckulate420]

@TalonMercenary

Sure but in the end it was the manpower of Prussia, Austria, Russia etc that wore down France, especially 1812.

[expertstrategy]

@refuckulate420, what's up my good man?

[JScivlancer]

@refuckulate420 actually man power couldn't do it, the Russians were smart and summoned the lord of winter he almost did it but France rose up again, and finally it was the Prussians, Dutch and English who went all in and also summoned up the lords of rain, and luck. and together they Barely managed to beat him.

[TheJEANFB]

@RobertSurcouf01 ^^ mdr ; )

[thor89100]

his greatest battle by far.

[lahire666]

Napoleon granted religious freedom to the Jews, Hitler killed them. Napoleon felt his Civil Code was his greatest work, Hitler felt cleansing the world of "sub-races" was his greatest work. Napoleon on his own was a military genius; Hitler was not. Napoleon loved his family, Hitler despised his. Napoleon inherited France's wars, Hitler initiated his wars.

I am not saying Napoleon was a Saint. Far from it.

But to compare him with Hitler is absurd.

[AuxaneD]

@lahire666 Très bien dit! People mix up everything, far too peremptory which is a crime when they're also ill-informed if not ignorant!

[thugugbob]

Yeah, he defended the republic and then because just as large a dictator as those he originally opposed.

[Wotanraven]

Vive l'Empereur! Superbe vidéo.

[Jujuleboulet49]

Amazing, simply amazing !

[Ace00Frehley]

Excellente vidéo comme d'habitude ... Deux petites questions : quel est le nom du tableau à 9:07 et du film vers 9:41 ?

[Strategos300]

The story becomes so beautiful whith that music.

[Ruveniag]

How wonderful to see these men to defend the republic against the monarchy.

[makaberokurota]

Une bien belle video!

Merci.

[AegeanKing]

Good video. Grammar is a bit off on some slides but still a good video.
