Let us all agree this entire series is a work of art

"He was hit in the shoulder" Me : He'll be fine. "by a cannon ball" Me : or not..

"the Duke of Brunswick was shot through the eyes - a wound that proved fatal" had me dead

I just can't stop watching this series of Napoleon. Such a masterpiece.

Napoleon is the living definition of "Fine ill do it myself".

As a grand strategy gamer, a documentary like this is way more appealing than the one made with actors reenactments and historians interviews.

If only Ridley Scott had seen your Napoleon series...

The story of Napoleon's life and reign really are the stuff of legend. There are fantasy tales more realistic in scope than his military career. Napoleon's genius was simply astonishing!

Imagine being so badass, the war was named after you.

Fun fact: When George Washington died, Napoleon who was a great admirer of the American experiment declared a national day of mourning.

After about 20 years of reading almost exclusively about WW1 and WW2 this is a revelation. I can’t wait to properly begin my journey of learning about this period. Fascinating stuff.

Love this channel! Only recently found it, but it more than fills the hole that the History Channel left over a decade ago when they decided to produce reality shows instead of actual history, and I learn far more from these!

As a young lad, being a history lover all my life. It was to my great sadness that history seemed to have fallen by the way side on mainstream media, with even the history channel preferring programs about alien conspiracies over actual history and my favourite history games, total war, abandoning history for fantasy, its absolutely amazing to see a channel like Epic History taking up the mantle and absolutely nailing it. Love you guys!

Beardless Youth: "Forward!" Napoleon: "Beardless Youth!" Also Napoleon: "Forward!"

"Bonaparte gave us example how we should win" still remains in the Polish anthem today. "What, impossible? I don't know such a word. Nothing is impossible for my Poles!" - Napoleon used to say about Polish soldiers in his army. Napoleon is still remembered and honoured in Poland!

I just can't overstate the quality of this series. Thank you so much

One of the finest productions on all of UKposts.

The best Napoleonic documentary I've ever seen

I will say it again: WE NEED AND WANT MORE OF THIS!! This is a historical drug that is nourishing to mind and soul, the narration and music adds to the attractiveness of these series. What about the 30 years war; the wars of the Spanish and of the Austrian Succession, the life of Gross Koenig ( Frederick the Great), The Seven Years' War, the Jacobite revolts?? WE NEED MORE NOURISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can hardly describe how amazing this series is. I've watched it over and over again, it just doesn't get old. From the music, to the visuals, to the amazing narrating voice. I wish television was even close to the quality this channel produces

They dont even make documentaries this quality on the history channel but then again the history channel no longer covers history.

This is legitimately better then 99% of tv documentaries

I came here to watch for 5 minutes... and... an hour and 35 minutes later... ready to watch more. Bravo. Loved it.

My favorite part was when Napoleon saw the staff officer's helmet get shot off his head by a cannon ball and he simply said, "good thing you weren't taller." I hope that officer was able to go home to his family one day and tell them that story.

25:29 That young soldier probably didn't care about being scolded. He was probably just excited that the Emperor had spoken to him.

Every general to fight Napoleon: "only now, did he realize the danger he was in."

“Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly” 🦅 - Napoléon Bonaparte 🤴 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷

This man was a total badass Defeating entire countries in one single campaign

Over an hour and a half of Napoleon, hell yeah.

I remember reading Napoleons biography when I was a kid and could not believe that it was not fiction, he was like an action movie hero

To promote the German city of Ulm, also the site of one of Napoleon's famous victories. Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit What You Waiting For could be used, via a simple reworking of the chorus, removing the oh's and turning them into Ulm. Wunderbar.

Seeing Bernadotte, Davout, Soult, Lannes, Ney and Bessieres in one lineup gives me the chills.

I can't believe it, thank you for making a good documentary about the war I was in, Thanks!

That 31:00 background music is so hauntingly beautiful!

I have watched this over 14 times...... Omg. Im even sleeping whilst listening to this: it is THAT good!!!!!!!!!

"You'd best not give advice until you've commanded 30 battles." -Napoleon 'The Savage' Bonaparte

Almost every general during the Napoleonic Wars: *the wound proved to be fatal* Napoleon: *it proved to be a superficial wound*

Just want to say that I really love all of these Napoleonic Wars documentaries. Exceptionally well done. I’m an Army officer, and recommend these documentaries to everyone interested in military history and tactics.

An absolute masterpiece of a documentary!

This is probably the best Napoleonic Wars documentary I've seen. It literally breaks down every battle and the tactics employed and how/why things turned out the way they did. I love it!

I hardly ever post comments on UKposts but after watching this, I had to just to say this is one of the best videos on here. I was deeply saddened when I realized I had come to the end. The amount of information, the high level of detail, the illustrations.... Amazing!

Marshall Davout, the "iron marshall", was a badass.

I knew absolutely nothing about the Napoleon wars. These videos have been amazing. Wow, I have learned so much. Thank you for making these!

Most of the documentary can be summed up by that one quote about 'wherever I am absent it is nothing but follies'. Holy shit, dude had to be everywhere to save everyone's ass and the moment he leaves shit goes south again. Truly shows genius.

Honestly what Napoleon was able to do was unbelievable. Not only was he able to take control of the entire country of France despite not even being of Nobility or technically French. He fought 1v5 wars like 5 times and won, it sucks cause it’s pretty obvious they all sided against him and waged war because he wasn’t nobility and they were afraid if someone that powerful and influential cane to power it would dismantle the entire continents power structure of monarchy. Thats why I think the queen of Prussia called him a monster. And yeah he might’ve had a bit of an ego but the guy not only dominated in battle he also fixed the economic policies of France that is still used in all of Europe. Mad respect to one of histories biggest underdogs

There aren't enough superlatives to describe how fantastic this channel is. Eternally grateful for all of your hard work and dedication!!

Let us all agree this entire series is a work of art. I just can't stop watching this series of Napoleon. Such a masterpiece..

This is the single best and most entertaining history documentary I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Wow.

Sweden: "We declare war on France" Coalition: "You can't just say you're at war and then not actually do anything" Sweden: "We didn't say it, we declared it"

This channel is fantastic ! So well done. I'm so glad I found this.

Can I just say that I have watched this documentary 100 times over and I will watch it 100 times again. I doubt I will ever get sick of it nor wishing that I would. What a masterpiece of historical content this truly is.

Hands down thes are the best documentary ever..nothing on tv or paid is better then this..ty for the content truly brings my mind to this era

This is the clearest, most comprehensive coverage of the Napoleonic Wars that I have seen anywhere online.

I LOVE NAPOLEON BATTLE BREAKDOWNS. THANK YOU!!!!

You should do the American Civil War. Your meticulous approach to battle formations and troop movement would really do it justice. Plus all the Generals are doing their best Napoleon impression so that's right up your alley lol. Seriously though, there's nothing else like your channel out there. Top notch stuff!

Napoleon forgot one simple rule: "There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare".

I stumbled upon this channel today...my oh my it has to be one of the best historic videos i' ve seen. The narrative, animation and the level of details is astonishing. Thank you very much for this!!👏👏

I've been fascinated with Napoleon Bonaparte and how this native of Corsica worked his way up in the French army during the French revolution to History's greatest military genius. His tactics during the Napoleonic wars are to this day are still being studied by countries around the world. Amazing. 🇨🇵

"Hit in the shoulder by a cannon ball and remained conscious eventually dying later that evening" No wonder the Light Division's barracks at Winchester was named Sir John Moore barracks. His use and reliance on Light Infantry was forward thinking. Great documentary thank you very much for posting.

I love how the strategy and troop movements of each battle are laid out! As someone who loves war strategy

This series seems so thorough. I’ve recently become obsessed with the napoleonic era. Thank you 10 fold for making this.

This is fantastic. I rarely watch to completion these long form UKposts documentaries that many other history channels make, but this is truly a cut above.

This is truly the most engrossing, most visually well presented and best voiced (important) historical channel on youtube. I love every single upload and love that you condense your stuff into history "movies" to save the hassle of organising individual episodes.

Allies: We Have The HIGH GROUND Napoleon: *Oh Do You?*

Who else rewatches this series once a month

This documentary is so well put together and so professional, so much better than any history channels have put out recently. Bravo

Video: "... wiped Poland off the map." Me: "again. They forget to add 'again'".

The absolute and by far greatest Doc I’ve ever watched. An absolute masterpiece

If I got a shot every time narrator reminded us the Marshall Murat, I would probably lost my liver. Joke aside, great work guys.

These long napoleon videos have gotten me through Maaaany an awful work day 😢

I only came just to see this vid for 5 mins, but here I am at 2:47 am watching this video. A masterpiece video, keeps me excited from the start to the end. 10/10.

I must say that this is one of the best documentaries I have ever watched! It's like watching a movie. I'm actually digging this kind of presentation than reenactments. Keep it coming!

This is Fantastic! Thanks so much!

Incredible video series. This is the best of its kind anywhere.

One of the most influential and important figures in entire human history. Thanks very much for such a great piece of work. The map explanation is superb, unlike the dull videos where people sit and talk trash with no effective explanation .

King Louis was a cool dude. He was very well-liked by his Dutch subjects as he felt it his duty to be a fair ruler. He even tried to learn the language but hilariously mistakenly referred to himself as " konijn" (rabbit) instead of "koning" (king) of Holland. The country was saddened by Louis' removal as King by Napoleon as he had become too chummy with the population and failed to provide France with enough recruits, horses and supplies for the ongoing war.

You guys have done an outstanding job! From the detail of each campaign to the voice of the commentator. Absolutly brilliant. Thank you for bringing to life the history of this era. I cant get enough. I fall asleep to the march of the egales. Great work and please do keep it up.

Love ❤️ the maps you can really see how a core can easily out manoeuvre and isolate units not organised the same way great job 👏

I really dig these visualizations. Well done, evokes memories of when The History Channel used to actually put effort into this kind of thing.

This is one of the best channels out there for history. The presentation and animations, the narrator, the detail. It's a remarkable production. Very well done!!

Sensation time and effort on so many levels to put this together. Fascinating, informative while bringing to life the incredible effort, toil and savagery required for war during that and following times. Unimaginably bravery when you think about it.

Epic history tv has set the bar too high! I just saw the Napoleon film and all I could think during it was "epic history tv told this story better" 🤣

How to learn The Napoleonic Wars: The Easy Way: Oversimplified The Hard Way: Epic History TV I Choose the Hard Way.

37:51 "In the late afternoon of the thirteenth of June" sounds like the beginning of an epic of some kind. An epic is a long poem.

Wow ! I Must say that this video was amazing, so informative with a lot of visual content related to all the battles. Probably the best series about Napoleon out there !

This is absolutely amazing, the quality of this documentary is professional level good.

I've found a gold mine with you, Epic History.

So much better then history oversimplified this is for the man or women who wants the whole story with fantastic storytelling and artwork.

I’ve watched and rewatched this whole series, a true work of art.

Fantastic presentation! Thank you so much for uploading!

47:57 He did, successfully. No British soldier ever got to the moon.

I'm learning a lot more about Napoleon than I did in school.

So Perfect Videos, that’s amazing, thank you so much! The Details, battlefields, realistic images of the soldier types, the Maps 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🫡🫡🫡🫡👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻

Fantastic video + amazing graphics! I am learning so much, and absolutely love it! Thank you so much.

My praise of the quality, informative content and entertaining delivery of this documentary, is all i can offer. Outstanding visual breakdown of movements on the battlefield and i don't detect political bias that is so common in many historical teachings. Thank you
