Imagine marching 70 miles in 2 days with full gear and equipment and immediately joining an active battle.

Napoleon blitzkrieg through Germany like: "I know you guys aren't ready for this yet but your kids gonna love it"

Came here back after watching Napoleon (2023) which didn’t come even close to the quality of these wonderfully made videos. Gonna watch these series again. Thank you Epic History TV. You are doing a better job than Hollywood.

This 18 minute video was far more engaging, informative and entertaining than the entire Napoleon movie.

I've never heard the analogy of "the whale and the elephant" to compare England and France. I love it

got to give napoleon credit for not resting on his laurels after become emperor. dude was still out there personally commanding battles to the very end.

They made napoleon look like a sad idiot in the movie

The whole Napoleon movie is like a Brittish propaganda hit piece. The man portrayed in the movie couldn’t have done what Napoleon did in real life.

That French Corps reorganization is one of the prime things I think of whenever I hear the phrase "amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics." It completely revolutionized the modern army structure.

Napoleon Bonaparte. THE military genius. General at 24 years old. Fought 60 battles, lost only 8, mainly at the end of his career against a wide european coalition...

I love how Napoleon could only be decisively defeated only after his army was completely destroyed in Russia AND the entirety of Europe had to unify against him. If you can only defeat someone because they've been already weakened and you completely overwhelm them to, that someone is an absolute badass.

Although this video is two year old I would like tis share something related to this battle I live in the Netherlands and I live near a small village called Austerlitz. This village thanks his name to this battle. In 1804, the French General Auguste de Marmont established an army camp in this central location in the Batavian Republic. To occupy his bored soldiers he orders them to build a pyramid build out of earth and turf. He was inspired by the pyramids in Egypt which he had seen during napoleons campaign in Egypt.construction lasted 27 days the pyramid was 36 meters high with a 13 meter wooden obelisk. It was named mon marmot. Marmont departed with his army in 1805 where is also fought at the battle of Austerlitz. In 1806, despite protests from Marmont, Louis Bonaparte, the new king of Holland, renamed the hill the Pyramid of Austerlitz The pyramid is still there and you can climb it. It is surround by forest and as a kid I have been there a lot of times. So that’s the little fact I wanted to share Have a nice day!

The 4 dislikes are Kutuzov, Alexander I, Francis II, and Mack

I see what you did with the European map there. Blue France, white central Europe and red Russia??? You're secretly making Europe a French flag! Working for a ressurected Napoleon Eh???

Ridley Scott obviously never saw this.

No one blames Clausewitz when he described Napoleon as the “ god of war”.

One of the greatest men that ever lived. Even though he lost in the end, his achievements were so monumental they've lived on for centuries.

Napoleon Bonaparte calmly OBLITERATES Austria and Russia WITH FACTS & LOGIC

I had to come and watch this video again so I can seethe about how poorly the 2023 Napoleon movie did this battle.
