    Napoleon: 'If some other small man with a stupid moustache tries to conquer Russia, he must know 2 things: it's huge and it's cooooooooooold.'
  • @that-one_guy
    When you realize that Napoleon only lost because his enemy's are fleeing No, this is not how you are supposed to play the game
  • @SadieNya
    Needing 5 empires including superpowers of Europe, to defeat one man with untrained troops is crazy
  • @Ethan-bp6wp
    “Sir, Oversimplified hasn’t posted in a year, what shall we do?” “There is nothing we can do..” Update: HE’SSS BACKKKK
  • @MagikarpMan
    Napoleons a legend, guy took over Europe, clapped Austria 5 times lost against a combined Europe, got exiled came back and went straight back into war with all of Europe again. If that ain't some shit straight out a movie I don't know what Is
  • Parents, teachers, friends, life coaches: “You can’t just run away from your problems.” Russia: “Observe.”
  • @a-e180
    "France, the army, the head of the army, Josephine..." -Napoleon's last words.
  • @Red-mg4ro
    Napoleon really did have an action-comedy for his life. Half of the wars were the Four Stooges going "it'll work this time" until it finally did.
  • @ethanelliot4559
    "and they all declared war, not on France, but on Napoleon himself." The only man to ever have multiple countries gather hundreds of thousands of troops JUST to take his head. He may not have been a god, but he damn sure was more than an emperor.
  • @thehomie6059
    Imagine being such a threat to all of Europe that you were sent to a island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and guarded by a whole army of troops and two boats 24:7 I would take that as a compliment honestly
  • @RayzleGZ
    Fun fact, Aurther Wellington studied Napoleons tactics, and battles. Helping him to make similar predictions of what Napoleon might do next. And creating formations. Defending attacks
  • it is CRAZY how 30 minutes Youtube video is more accurate than a 2.5 hours movie. The director clearly hated Napoleon and did everything to convince the audience of his bias, while Oversimplified shows the true history
  • @lakshyawahi323
    "When he attacks, we run away." Emus: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
  • @jaredwyatt3376
    Napoleon- does literally nothing Britain- how many time do we have to teach you this lesson Copenhagen
  • @murmur1721
    After Napoleon's defeat, Tsar Alexander invited him to go to Russia, but Napoleon was offended and refused then. But then, already on the island of St. Helena, he decided to write to Alexander that he thought about their old friendship every day, missed him and would like to come to Russia, but the British did not let him go.
  • @F_Bardamu
    This mix of historical accuracy and witted humour is unparalleled. From a French perspective, a great relief after watching Ridley Scott's failed biopic. Subbed to your channel.
  • @BasicShapes
    "They banished him to an island where he was never seen or heard from again" "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!"
  • @EvilPumpkin
    “France... hell... the army... head of the army... Joséphine..." - Napoleon Bonaparte last words, his life truly flashed before his eyes,.
  • @DeepFactsfy11
    Napoleon's last campaign to defend France was legendary. At one point he even sighted the cannons himself like he did during the Italian campaign as a general many years ago. His army was small enough that he could take full command of all his men. EPIC history TV's coverage of this campaign is a masterpiece
