Battal ko filde la gar lost bhakyo
Could you do more Napoleonic war battle like Austerlitz, Jena, or battle of the pyramids?
What animation software do you use
I just don't get why he pushed forward and met them on a super defended position haha.. Why didn't he just withdraw and shell the crap out of them til they came out? I know he needed to hurry before reinforcements arrived but it doesn't help dashing your troops on the rocks Still, Napoleon has one of the best records and accomplishments in the history of warfare, by far
@Putin Did It Yea it's almost as if the Prussian army being in Belgium at that particular time and then going on to join up with the British army and her allies to defeat Napoleon was purely coincidental and that being the case Wellington couldn't have possibly uttered the words give me Blucher or give me the night
Sad and not complete story of Waterloo, already starts with the misinterpretation of the Battle of Quatre-Bras, where Napoleon lost not against the Britisch under Wellington, but lost against Britse, Hanover and in majority Dutch army corps under combined leadership of prince William of Orange-Nassau, duke of Wellington and Duke of Brunswijk. Most strategic decisions there were made by the Prince and Dutch forces so that the important crossroads of the road from Nijvel to Namur and the road from Charleroi to Brussels was kept in the hands of the seventh alliance. At the castle, the Dutch - against Wellingtons orders! - took a stand with 8.000 against eventually 24.000. Napoleon lost a costly amount of men here and this battle had a very negative effect on convidence among especially his officers.
If Napoleon just had a drone then he would have won.
answer: wellington testudo vs cavalry ... point...
Waterloo is that thing that Frenchmen talk so little about, and when they do, they blame it on everything- weather, treacherous generals, weather- even God.
The anglo-allied troops should get more credit. They fought with true valour and skill. Had they not done so, Napoleon would have won

Not even mentioning the United Netherlands army
I like history
Me too, sometimes.
5:27 *when you lose in fortnite*
Big up the Duke of Wellington and his soldiers 🇬🇧
This is probably the weirdest YT VPN sponsorship I have watched.
general gucci be getting that drip
why you unlisted Rise of Napoleon| Animated history just re list it so i can see it
the netherlands also participated! why didn't you add them?
Even Napoleon got out-flanked by Prussians
Lol France
cool af
Napoleon's selfishness and obsession with power and war cost the lives of well over 2 million people and many more other casualties. Imprisoning him on the least accessible island (at the time) for him to brood over his losses for the rest of his days was even too merciful a fate. There is an obsession by history to forgive aggressive mass-murderers with no regard to human life. Example: how many of 'the Greats' or 'the Conquerors' can you name? The majority of them were primarily known for fighting wars and hence killing people.
Sorry but I can't get over the mispronunciation of 'Blucher.' (insert horses neighing) In German it's pronounced as an 'h' not the English 'ch.'
9:58 lol Jesus that sound effect. Dang I didn't know the French had 150mm shells in 1815 xD
He had lost Waterloo since he lost his Grande Armee!
In all reality I wonder how many people have been put to death for getting caught with your sponsor nord vpn on their computer.
Am I the only one who sees this battle as total chaos from the beginning to the end?
I am not sure that "audaciousness" is a word - it might be - but I think English purists would prefer "audacity."
How do u spell the cavalry guys name?
I face something similar the conundrum of taking the risk and making a move as the outcome could be anything - Battle for Wesnoth, it is not like chess where you are guaranteed to win over the opponent's pieces, as there is terrain, time of the day, and weaknesses of the units, all the factors can work for you or against you!
Just because the Prussians came in, if it wasn’t for the prussians france wins
He should have saved game before the battle.
gg ez
Alexa, play Waterloo by ABBA
The automatic part conjecturally communicate because india hopefully own past a scarce comic. handsome, discreet divorced
Ah the names are so butchered lol.
It's tenacity, not tenaciousness. It's audacity, not audatiousness. These unforced errors makes my ears hurt. Otherwise, great content!
There was traitor from French side, that told Napoleon's plans to the Coalition, and thus he was doomed before he even went in battle, but he still could've managed to win. The plan was to encircle Prussians and fight the British 1v1 but since they knew the plan Prussians tried to connect with British as soon as possible and thus he told his noob general to pursue Prussians.
lol you play cool math, same
The guy with the skull on his head is most likely the duke of Brunswick 3:58

"God fights on the side with the best artillery." -- Napoleon Bonaparte
During quarantine I did the ancestry.com thing and found out that one of my ancestors fought in the battle for the Prussians and survived. Pretty cool that he was able to bring down Napoleon and eventually lead all the way down to me.
Idk why I like this vido I saw it like 12 time
I'm biggest fan of nepolian
The Prussians are historically a warrior culture and have good generals and good personal I think that is why Napoleon feared them
Stuff begins at 2:45
Little man, Huge ego, millions suffered !!
A full 2 minutes and 45 seconds before the meat of this video even begins to start. You Have Been Warned.
Boi you need to play ravenfield
We all know it was not because if the Prussians but that napoleon rolled a 0 and the British rolled a 9
he sounds like donald trump
Blücher is prounounced wrong, try googling our watching a documentary next time, so people don't blugder... this makes people who speak german want to die, dont ever do it again. please it hurt my ears. Never again.

Napoleon at Waterloo; 'In the centre they will break. Deploy the Imperial Guard.' Lee at Gettysburg; 'In the centre they will break. Deploy Pickett's Virginians.'
Cool story bro
Damn Prussians. The whole world would have been touched with class and elegance and we would not have been exposed with trash celebrities like Kanye West.
The whole of Europe declared war against a single individual who had only returned from exile a hundred days before the battle. In reality, Napoleon never stood a chance. Much has been made of how Blucher's Prussians arrived to save the day, but it should not be forgotten that Wellington's right and centre defended heroically for hours, largely holding their ground and finally turning back both the new and the old guard. If Napoleon had not had to deploy troops to meet Blucher, he might have forced the allied lines to break but it is doubtful. Napoleon was at heart an artillery man but in choosing the ground, Wellington both negated the effect of his enemy's guns and hid the disposition of his forces. If Napoleon had somehow won the day, the attrition would have been terrible and he had still to face the Russians and Austrians who were only a week away. In fact the French had only 23,000 defending the Rhine against the Austrians 225,000. There was also a Royalist uprising in the West. Napoleon had been a military genius but he was tired and sick and his final fanfare was always doomed.
He lost as he had send the old guard right into the guns of Sharpe.
The Armchair General - New channel alert!
4:28 spectacular misspronounciation of the name "von Blücher" That's not a strong accent anymore. You're not even trying to say his name. It's like saying "Krzkoloch" " instead of "Napoleon".
Another excellent video!
Ann Hill Ate.
I visited waterloo
IT WAS GRUCCI FOULT
@J'aime mon Pays yes i mean that
Grouchy
Just watched 'Waterloo' 1970... Damm... now I need a recap
You also have to contribute that this army he was leading was not the grand armee but the armee of du norde, who was less experienced. Had Napoleon not fought Russia and the sixth collation he would’ve won this battle. Also the battle of quatre bras was not a victory of the French but inconclusive.
Shout out to Blood And Iron players out there!
Well to paraphrase George Pickett's comment about why the South lost the battle of Gettysburg...I think Napoleon's loss at Waterloo had a lot to do with the Duke of Wellington.
When Napoleon returned, it was like Vegas. He had to keep winning or lose it all. At Waterloo, he ran out of luck. His marshals failed him, Wellington was his ultimate bogeyman, now confronting him. Most of all, it was luck. Had Blucher been on time and present from the start, Napoleon might well have figured some brilliant stratagem to deal with the combined Allied army. But, Blucher was late;; his arrival was right from the future, a shock army (Stonewall Jackson? Zhukov?) that had no counter force available or ready. it was just too much to instantly account for. Farmhouse or not, the forces were now just overwhelming.
Well... my Napoleon total war save game says otherwise
captain gromit should of led waterloo
5:27 *When You Lose A Game In Multiplayer And Blame Your Team*
The rain really was the unsung hero of this battle. Having to wait till *NOON* to start a time sensitive engagement? That's rough buddy.
