By the year 1800, Napoleon's political career was in full swing. However, as First Consul, he was hardly a man of the people - by a stroke of outrageous good fortune he even survived an assassination attempt in1800, which gave him the perfect excuse to eliminate several political enemies.

You know exactly why. Even today the ruling classes cannot help but fear him and what he stood for. They have to demonise him every chance they get, or the people might get 'ideas'. Ideas involving them not needing the ruling class and getting rid of them.

38:30: Napoleon had one and only aim: for France to be at peace and safe. France had been continuously attacked by England, the Perfide Albion, and other powers in coalitions funded by England since the Revolution, well before Napoleon came to power, with the aim of reinstating a king so “Europe would be at peace” as said in the own words of the British, because England’s aristocracy and royalty felt threatened by the French Revolution which could give ideas to the English, and thus royalty and aristocracy would loose their status and privileges. Every time England and its coalitions attacked France and Napoleon defeated them, he gave them very generous terms in their surrender and the following peace. Europe would have been at peace, hadn’t England, which wasn’t even a continental country, existed. And for that there is a lot of resentment towards England in continental Europe. After Napoleon had been tricked by England into boarding a UK Ship “bound to England” where he was supposed to be able to live a free and peaceful life, what did England, this French colony who took a bad turn, do? Deport and exile him in St Helena and put Louis XVIII on the throne of France, against the will of the French people.

He’s lucky the British didn’t turn him over to the Prussians or the Spanish government; his fate would’ve been quite different.

@rhysnichols8608 7 ай бұрын

I agree with your sentiment, but your reasons are wrong. Britain was primarily concerned with economic, trade and colonial dominance. They funded multiple coalitions against France not because they didn’t like he political ideals, but because France was their age old rival, and once Napoleon came to power he made France the dominant power. Something Britain could never allow. Britain itself had a parliament and was closer to revolutionary France than the autocratic monarchs of Austria Prussia and Russia.

He was right. All the forces of mankind could not defeat him. In the end, lt was his own ego, and one force of nature, a Russian winter, that defeated him. All despots fail to know when to stop. To know when enough is enough. To know when it's time for the common people to receive the benefits of their sacrifices.

He defeated the British a few times in Europe’s and kicked them out of Spain in 1809. The British landings in July 1809 in the Netherlands also got defeated quite easily. But yes ultimately the British were Victorious and never fully defeated by Napoleon. Britain could rely on the sea and navy to keep safe

Anybody who can say something this false about Egypt at that time really should keep his mouth shut and not appear in history videos.

He didn’t have Italian roots, Italy didn’t even exist at the the time, the Union of the Italian peninsula into Italy only happened much later during the second half of the 19th century. For much of its history after Rome Corsica was part of the Republic of Genoa for close to 400 years before becoming part of France.
