Napoleon Defeated: Aspern 1809
Рет қаралды 1,277,088
Күн бұрынIn 1809, with Napoleon and his best troops bogged down in Spain, Austria decided to try to get revenge for her humiliation at Austerlitz three years before. Archduke Charles led an invasion of France's ally Bavaria, but Napoleon raised fresh troops and transformed the strategic situation in four days of hard fighting along the Danube. But having taken Vienna, Napoleon's overconfidence led to a desperate battle at Aspern-Essling, resulting in his first major defeat as Emperor, and the death of his closest friend.

Archduke Charles had a Sun Tzu like approach to war, more of a Go type thinking as opposed to Chess. And with a very pacifist-like shade to it. In his military doctrine he emphasizes winning through demoralising the enemy by outmaneuvering and securing a more strategically favourable position from where to negotiate the enemy's surrender and if necessary the inflicting of just the right amount of damage to hammer home the point. His philosophy was perhaps too passive for Napoleonic times but very viable in modern warfare.
@kondor99999 10 ай бұрын
No, that sort of strategy was common in the period prior to Napoleon. It’s why the Duke of Brunswick withdrew at Valmy (for instance). Napoleon played for keeps. His enemies didn’t. Now, they are buried in obscurity. And he is immortal.

Austria was more successful in the Neapolitan War than any wars against Napoleonic France: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tolentino And even after the Napoleonic Wars, although the Austrian army horribly underfunded & suffered defeats, there was still some success: Austria's & Britain's navies saved the Ottomans against Egypt in the Second Ottoman-Egyptian War, Radetzky defeated the Italians in 1848, Austria & Prussia together defeated a Danish army in 1864 (while Prussia was pushed back at Mysunde in the early war days, Austria beat the Danes at Sankelmark at the same time), then challenged and lost to Prussia (also against France in 1859) at Königgrätz due the horribly army funding and inferior weapons, but at the same time won an excellent naval victory at Lissa against a better Italian navy and also pushed the superior Italians back at Custoza (1866), and invaded Bosnia. Of course Austria's military record wasn't as good as Prussia's one, but they still enjoyed some success.

Even in Wagram the French army was about to break that's why they couldn't pursue the Austrians.

the funny thing is, those barges kept going downstream and the French did *nothing* to stop them. A company of engineers with large wooden stakes upsteam could have stopped those barges altogether.

Same as Chancelorvile for Lee in ACW. Lost his good general in battle. Lee losta Stonewall Jacksone, Napoleon lost Marchal Lannes, the guy who hold and baited russians near Friedland.

When I was a Junior in High School, for my history class project I was assigned to write a report on Napoleon's military campaigns. At first I thought, "Cool! A report on 2 or 3 battles and I can wrap it up with Waterloo." Once I found out the number and scope of battles I had to research and write about, I started to hate Napoleon as much as the Austrians did.
