We try not to get into too much great man history here at Crash Course, but we have to admit: Napoleon Bonaparte is a pretty big deal. Join us as we track the rise, further rise, fall, rise, fall, mortal fall, and posthumous rise of Napoleon. This guy changed France, he changed Europe, and in a lot of ways he changed the world.

We had a technical issue with the video today, and had to re-upload it. Sorry for any link confusion.

After watching about the Roman empire the holy Roman empire this isn't that big of a deal other than the education for people fact

I'm here today to learn more about Boney, Colonel Sharpe sent me
Tolstoy and Kutuzov would like to have a word with you about calling Borodino a French victory lol
it's hard to see OG youtuber grow old
Learning is supposed to be fun, and you show us how it’s done! Thanks for your wonderful work.
Always good. Always super PC.
Two questions..why would the French want an Italian ruling them? and can you tell us how the people in Yaffo chased Napoleon away?
How were women's rights before the french revolution? were they worse or better than in the napoleonic code?
Yeah, I remember French revolution.
My hypothesis is he wanted to conquer Europe because of he lost Haiti French richest colony resulting in selling Louisiana to USA..so he turned over Europe to continue building France.
…
Crash course art history!
how dare he say that im the best roaster in my class so you do not want me to roast you
“We still have Napoleon in our guts” 😂😂
Napoleon, one of the best military general ! So many country for stopping him… 😍
The main reason I learned about the place of Napoleon's defeat was ABBA
What would happen if Napoleon was successful in occupying Russia?
"napoleon bad because he no brainwashed into being a weakling like me wtf"
Your lack of research just makes this hard to watch….I wanna thank you for trying but it had been best if you would've done some work.
I love this man but i have trouble understanding. Can you add Turkish subtitles , please ? Would be greattttt❤
As a Brit, I accept the 'revisionist' view – Napoleon wasn't so bad after all (well, except for women's rights, and some nationalities), responsible for civilising and modernising France into a role model for other countries. A dictator but he sort of 'made the trains run on time'. Surprised how long we was an important figure for France, from 1793-1815 and even then they had to hide him away in the middle of the Atlantic with 125 guards. The usual lesson from Napoleon? NEVER try to beat Russia….Napoleon, Ottomans, Kaiser, Hitler, Kennedy, Trump….
And the biggest losers after all of this was the murderers spaniards. For good.
Awesomely summarised, Crash Course!
Kaiser also comes from Caesar because in Latin C always sounds like a K.
Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte: "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
I just forgot how I couldn't listen to the no-pause video talk, and unsubscribed. Good topic bad video cuts.
This is one of his slower videos.
When your leaders start talking about making anything great ‘again’…get nervous
make a complete session on iinternational relations
It's written in French. French is a waste of time
I hoped that there will be another Napoleon's joke
why does everyone have to get so political in teaching history? this guy and all my teachers you could tell what they think
Napoleon cant be judged by denying women rights.
when did women earned the right to vote in the land of the free? yeah that's right……..
am i the only one who noticed that he's wearing the same shirt he wore in the World History: French Revolution video
the stuff behind him changes
Napoleon had nearly the same fate as hitler and the nazis interesting
Stop with this 'women' thing already. They played little to no significance in history. Stop shoving it down our throats. Unsubscribed
Thank you Mr. Green
cls a VI-a A racovita cnv? :)))
I do think you have a really flawed view of french history, if napoleon was definitely a dictator, you really don't put anything into perspective. Please don't try to put yourself as a history reference <3
You skipped over how the Russian tsar pushed Napoleon all the way back and then didn’t occupy all the nations in between. Huh… interesting
let's remember that the French Revolution was lead by bourgeois and rich landlords… it wasn't the low class and peasants
