Battle of Waterloo Part1

This movie is not bad but is not very accurate

Whait a minute Napoleon lost in espern cause he wasnt left the largest part of his army across the river and he was attacked with a small proportion of his army that was not excatly a defeat, a the next day in wagram he crushed them, UNREALISTIC!!! One thing that you cannot charge on Napoleon the great is lack of realism!! Napoleon in Russia was defeated by nature whether you like it or not

Raw recruits i wouldnt say of course they couldnt the french of napoleon with the english experiance, and Wellinghton had alot of cores of his veterans, olso the prussians were comparely veterans.

What YOU completely forget northshore is that Austrians and Prussians DID beat the French and often Napoleon himself EVEN BEFORE the Russia campaign : Sacile 1809 or Aspern 1809 : Archduke Karl at the head of his grenadiers hammered the French out of Aspern,German- Austrian infantry pushed back French cavallry or Berg Isel 1809: even farmers beat the French under the heroic Andreas Hofer..
AND : Napoleon C H O S E in his unrealistic megalomania to march into Russia, so don't blame it on nature!

Ahah, the emperor stuck on the mud! LOL

most of the british troops where raw recruits also because after the fall of france, veterans where sent to india and canadian garisons to help fight.

Well in the case of waterloo, Napoleon had ALOT of conscripts cause most of his veterans died in Russia from the cold mostly...
So in a sence in the waterloo campaign The British were better trained but not because the british generaly were better

The British had troops that were in the Russian Campaign???.....Napoleons mistake was his impression that if he captured the capitol city of moscow...He won the war...that was not true.....The British had better trained troops than the French..LMAOOOOOO.....

and at waterloo he had more men than the Britishand better trained men

yes france beat the russians and prussains and the austrans, but he didnt beat the british in spain or southan france

What you forget to add is that Napoleons forces were decimated during the russian winter of 1812...Nature defeated Napoleon....not the allies....Napoleon crushed all allied armies going into Moscow....Nature Defeated Napoleon

Fair enough, 'though I had a Prussian Cavalry charge on my mind in this battle, during which 1,500 French horsemen were routed by 400 Prussian riders. Anyway, Hanau does not change the fact, that Napoleon's failing was rapidly gaining momentum after 1813 : Blücher, Gneisenau & Kleist DID defeat him crushingly 1813 at Groß-Beeren, Katzbach, Kulm, Dennewitz;1814 at La Rothiere(Napoleon's 1. defeat on French soil at the hands of Blücher),Laon,L.F.Champenoise

Blücher - rightly so - would have him executed,had he been captured by the Prussian or the Russian victors. It's precisely the "by The Grace Of God status " Nap. was yearning for so desperately, that all the other monarchs of Europe did NOT acknowledge at all : No way that he was a dynastic heir of the throne, nor had he ever been furnished with God's grace in their eyes.Quite logically,the other monarchs restored the rightful dynasty on the French throne, after Nap. had been kicked out

Napoleon won the battle of Hanau. He in fact defeated a much larger force of the allies there.

Also, why would he be shot? He was a monarch, "by the Grace of God". Killing Napoleon by say Prussian king would mean that monarch is just an ordinary citizen and therefore can be killed.

maybe ebay

Sychornized ur watches!!!!!

thanks allot

Its called Marche du Consulaire

What you completely forget is that this wanna-be emperor had already been crushingly defeated at
Haynau 1813 and in the giant battle of Leipzig
1813 which lasted for days on end and was the largest military engagement ever fought up to the First World War - His repeated defeat at Waterloo is nothing against the dimension of his crushing at Leipzig. Nappi in chains, dragged in front of a Prussian firing squad was a very close option indeed !

Viva Napoleon!!!, Viva Francia!!!.

man it would be cool if the french won

Is there anywhere I can purchase the music featured in this film?

whats the march at 7 50

Ths song is actually a sea chanty called "Boney." Land soldiers didn't generally sing sailor songs, but it seems to work in the film:

Boney was a warrior
Away, a-yah!
A warrior and a terrier
Jean Francois!

Boney fought the Roo-ssians (Russians)
Away, a-yah!
The Roo-ssians and the Proo-ssians (Prussians).
Jean Francois!

Moscow was a-blazing
Away, a-yah!
And Boney was a-raging.
Jean Francois!

What song are the British singing in the begining of this video?
