12:04 What that's Japanese Imperial Army flag west of Welleschowitz doing?

@Jean-Sébastien Genest& MARTIEN BELANGER : Tu parles que les rosbeefs s'en foutent bien ...

HistoryMarche you are the best, kings & generals is a pro Christian channel. I hate them, they are not fair at all.

Thé Number are wrong, big time. 16 000 men were killed in the coalition. Then is not a 10 years reigns, but 15... Ridiculous English propaganda. As usual...

Thank you very much for all your fascinating videos. May God bless you, your families, your channel and everyone who enjoyed your videos, may God bless all of you more.

7 years later they meet again in Russia,and Napoleon gets a pay back from the Russians

They met again only 2 years later. Eylau and Friedland...

numbers are not rights

If there was Suvorov at command with his rapid decisions and lightning speed charges the battle wud have been won fast by allies. The plan was perfect and the position was good. But that slow attack on left flang was decisive. Suvorov wud have made fast attacking move to the flang just before dawn. And for sure easily break french with their whole flang by bayonet charge. But the worst possible high commander Alexander I needed provement to admit he is worthless as a commander and as a man. Thousand of lifes for this idiot...(

its Napoleon's victory as much as Alexander I's lose. Still broke after trying to win against Russia))))

Pete was such a hypocrite, he pretty much caused most of the Napoleonic wars, mostly by bribing England's allies into fighting his battles... to KEEP THE PEACE?? Also the royal navy WASN'T guarding the channel in 1805, it was busy in the Mediterranean. Invasion of Britain would've probably worked (and saved a few millions European lives) if it wasn't for the 3d coalition.

God these videos are so good

The enemy general is an idiot. If im the general i will fortify the high ground with reserve behind the river to secure the flank logistic, ignore the smaller army attack the larger army

The narrator voice gave me multiple oragasms, the art and figures helped too. Great work!

When a man, completely unexpectedly and unforseen, becomes great (not from the usual channels of Royalty, nobility or who you know) it usually seems to take about 10 years, I`ve noticed.

So, Britain thwarts France and then Germany (twice) you're welcome Europe, bunch of lousy ingrates and we still demand Brexit, because we voted for it; the EU might have forgotten what democracy means but Britain hasn't.

What's the program used for the animation and art for the battles?

"Boney" wore his hat side-wicker so that he could be more easily seen by his armies. He was called "The Little Corporal" not because of his size (which was average) but because of his penchant for showing empathy for his men.

Can somebody please write what is the name of the music in 0:09?

What about Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign?

May cover in future.

If you played ultimate general: civil war, then you know they have to make a napoleon ultimate general

8:39 I thought the French army were outnumbered by the allies in this battle. In any case, excellent video :D

Just propaganda as usual

@L'Aigle I guess they made a mistake on the numbers.

They were. 68.000 French against 88.000 Allied.

Does anyone here believe they are Napoleon?

Could I know the name of the speaker of the video? I like his epic voice so much.

Charles Nove.

11:55 who is the ottoman soldier at the right bottom corner??

Long live the Emperor, long live France !

As Napoleon's hidden divisions appeared from the fog, an aide of Tzar Peter said "Dear God, they come as if from a clear blue sky". The Tzar responded: "You should rather say they come from hell". Robert E. Lee would much later recognize Napoleon's flanking maneuver at Chancellorsville. Union Gen Joe Hooker believed he'd found the perfect place to emulate the Austerlitz assault. Unfortunately for Hooker, he was up against the one man who many believe was Napolean's equal. Lee would cut off the charge on his left and smash the Union army that day.

What flanking maneuver? Napoleon never attacked the flank at Austerlizt, he enticed the allies to weaken their center then drove Soults corps through it like a wedge, allowing him to swing south and encircle allied forces near Telnizt village. As for being Napoleons equal I have never heard one credible Historian ever compare Lee to Napoleon. Lee won like 15 strategically barren victories, often employed horribly outdated tactics, was beating enemy generals who had no ability to seize the initiative, and failed to look at the wars wider picture. Lee was an honorable man and a capable tactician, but you are crossing the line when you try to say he was Napoleons equal. Also Hookers army was not smashed at Chancellorsville; he lost 17,000 men out of an army of 79,000 and his forces withdrew largely intact because they were not effectively pursued. Chancellorsville was a very impressive tactical victory for Lee but it was not a deciding blow and the Union army escaped largely unscathed.

What's the likely travel time between all those villages? Knowing how long it'd take to walk, say, from Kobelnitz to Puntowitz would help visualize the scale of this battle and the place it's being fought at.

I understand “foreplay”, but the preamble is so long: from the start focus on your subject.

Kutuzov's tactics: in any incomprehensible situation – retreat!

Retreat if the the battlefield is shambles

this channael is better than KINGS AND GENERALAS great job

hey guys welcome back to another vid today we will be talking about how bad trump is at being the president!!!!? :)

How the mighty have fallen what is wrong with France today they have the mindset I like classic socialist country now with no balls

I don't usually comment on videos, but i honestly love your videos and the vocabulary+voice is really stimulating

Thank you! New Napoleon video out on Thursday, hope you enjoy it.

It was actually Francis II of Austria who signed the Treaty of Pressburg...not Francis I.

Francis II of the Holy Roman Empire, but Francis I of the Austrian Empire. Same guy, causes a lot of confusion for obvious reasons.

Such a stunning victory. You had to mention Trafalgar? Somehow needed to praise the British. Unable to accept Napoleon's sole Victory.

You can't understand the broader strategic situation without mentioning the other great decisive battle of 1805.

"Notre Dame", not "Notré Dame", despite the English pronounciation. Very good video despite this tiny detail !

Whether Americans want to admit it or not, we were Napoleon's ally or at least his co-belligerent in the War of 1812. It is documented that American warships helped the French Navy fight British vessels on more than one occasion.

Legends said that Napoleon slept in a chair the night before the batttle because he could not find a bed strong enough to accomodate the sheer weight and size of his balls of steels.

Napoleon is the greatest general that ever lived

Napoleon using audacious mobile units to go through impenetrable forest in a surrounding strategy against basically germans bring even more shame to what will unfold later in ww2 -_- ...

I love those old cartoons at the beginning. Even in the early 1800s some people had a sense of humor about all this craziness.

Intelligent always wins

27..... hw must have been very wise. spoilt brat.

Vive l'Empereur ! :)

5:10 did they buy food from villagers or just take it?

@Léo Martel Oh ok. Nice to learn. And wise behavior.

@Delph Zouzou their was studies to know if they buy it or take it , most of the time they take it as a " compensation " for the war but with a promise of refund , and 80 at 90 % of the time people we're refund with money , it was one of the decision of napoleon to avoid revolt

They most probably take it.

I swear this narration is absolutely epic. Unparalleled.

i like yr lingo. genious

I just don't know why the world portrays Napoleon as an evil......For me he was a great military genius and a complete Emperor an Empire should have

@Ieuan Hunt Every single army of the known world lived off the land. That's war. And the worst cases of armies living off the land happened during the 30 years war in Europe, particularly in Germany. Diseases, starvations, destruction, mass killings, and cannibalism. The population of a city like Magdeburg was entirely annihilated. In La Rochelle, a large proportion of the population was killed too.

@Pommy Pie I agree.

@Jackson Mulrooney history is written by the victors. The british thugs were no better by a long shot

@Ieuan Hunt LOL. I read that whole thing you sent me and it does not counter any of what I said in my comment, if anything It reinforces what I stated by talking about how Napoleon never even started the wars, so you are a complete moron buddy and I think you need to do a bit more reading up on Napoleon. I would highly recommend Michal Broers two volumes on the life of Napoleon which are very balanced and non Bias. BTW please don't respond with comments about Egypt because the Egyptian campaign was thought up by Talleyrand and Napoleon was only a general at the time.

@Jackson Mulrooney https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon%27s_ I'll just leave this here

Lol and then Uk betrays Russia by siding with Turkey during Crimea war.

UK is such an evil and untrustworthy power, they have no sense of loyalty and started the whole dannmm Napoleonic wars in the first place.

Whenever I watch this video, I imagine Lindybeige seething somewhere...

Linybeige is a small minded and petty man with a huge inferiority complex and a very ugly taste in clothing.

Important to note is that the coalition started the conflict.

Thank you very much for this video. May God bless you, your families, your channel and everyone who enjoyed your creativity. Thank you very much. May God bless you more.

Very kind, thank you.

Greeting from Prace (Pratzen). I live it that very village. There are festivities every year. One on Napoleon's birthday and one on anniversary of Battle of Austerlitz. I have to admit, that Napoleon was very good general. And I have to say: I hate those festivities. Why do we celebrate a guy WHO BEATED US! WE LOST THAT DAY! We should only commemorate all who died because of the Battle (by the way, only one house was occupied after the battle, all other villagers either fled or died).

@Epic History TV You're welcome. And I can say, that you presented the topic well... VERY WELL.

Wow, fascinating to hear from someone who lives in the middle of the old battlefield! Thanks for posting.

This has saved me so much time than just reading it on Wikipedia

at 8:49 it is indispensable to explain that Napoleon had deliberately given away that high ground, simulating a retreat, the first move of his battle plan. - Nevertheless big thanks for your effort.

How come this series starts in 1805? By that time, there was already the Third (!) Coalition.

They should have started the series with the battle of Marengo in 1800 because Napoleon became the leader of France in 1799.

Leporello the Goldfinch – Birdtaming Tips & Tricks because I guess for the first two Napoléon wasn’t head of state and that’s what the documentaries focus on

Vive LeTondu.

Vive la france 🇫🇷

How did you make friends with Simple History?

You Sir deserve a show on the history channel

The first minute of this video is just brilliant. Amazing editing and narration

Why are french and spanish names often spoken correctly, but german names not?
