@zenoist2 and yet when alexander reached india, and his campaign stopped his men mutinied against him and he became a paranoid man who had his best friend and general killed...no leader is without his faults, and no military campaign has ever been run perfectly...that napoleon fought almost all of europe by himself stands as one of the greatest military achievements in the history of the world...in my opinion, only genghis khan stands atop that pyramid of generals

@zenoist2 wow look who is talking shit about Napoleon. Since you british really fought napoleon with every drop of Russian, Prussian and Austrian blood you could pay for

[x600SLE]

Napoleon' s worst enemies were the British bankers. Anyone heard of the Rothschilds?

@boss180888 I didn't say it was the Spanish alone, but the British leading the Spanish who were outgunned and lacked the training of French troops.

[theathiestalaby]

@Mark123USA And? Whats the huge deal about that considering they were recaptured?

[boss180888]

@theathiestalaby what are you talking about? leipzig the 6th coalition? it was the combined europe along with the russian disastre that defeated napoleon, not the spanish pain in the foot!

[Mark123USA]

@theathiestalaby In 1798-1799....The Russian Navy and Marines, Liberated the Greece from Napoleon, then the Russians liberated Naples and ROME from Napoleon.

@FilipH86 Firstly, i love you too, secondly, the British supplied the other coalitions with MASSIVE amounts of financial support; without that support the rest of the European nations would have been fucked. Seriously mate, read up on your history about this, you sound ridiculous, i spoke to a french history lecturer about this once and he said that his view as was the views of many others was that without Britain in the war, France would still be an empire. Silly boy :P - so misinformed.

@theathiestalaby first of all fuck you second of all you could ask why could not the british win against napoleon during the 5 first coalitions they were still at war with napoleon well because they choose to pay other nations to fight napoleon instead. and 3rd of all they could not do anything untill the brits showed up napoleon fell because of his invasion of russia and then the 6th coalition not because of england.

[theathiestalaby]

@FilipH86 Well why couldn't the 5 coalitions do anything until the Brits showed up. The mainland Europeans couldn't do anything without the Brits. Look up the peninsula war mate, and the major effect of Trafalgar, they were not minor like your ridiculous opinions of militaristic history.
