This is some fine work, and I think this campaign really shows us a lot about Napeolon. It's often said that he was a gambler, but this entire campaign was habitual risk-taking. While the situations aren't entirely comparable when Wellington was given a similar situation at Burgos, Wellington cut his losses and retreated. He assumption pretty clearly being that he could always win back the ground. Napeloen didn't play it like that and risked everything he had gained to continue to remain in the field fighting. I would almost say it was somewhat irresponsible and shows perhaps that Napeolon wasn't considering the wider picture, but it's really difficult to dismiss results like this. Also, Castiglione was just tactically brilliant even if it wasn't nearly as decisive as it could have been.

Irresponsible risk would have been trying to maintain the siege at Mantua. The Austrian force here is split, and Napoleon has the interior lines to fairly confidently face either part with advantage. Furthermore, Wellington knows that he can always retake the ground...since his position as general is secure (benefits of aristocracy). Given the instability of the Directorate...Napoleon may not have believed his personal command would have survived allowing the Austrian general to get away with the offensive. Furthermore, the Austrians signal early on that the objective is merely to relive the siege of Mantua (otherwise the western arm of their advance would have been MUCH stronger)...so Napoleon knows the threat of being cut off only exists if he stays with the siege of Mantua. Napoleon knows he can always return to siege Mantua...

The Count of Wurmser had served in the French army before taking up post winin the Hapsburg Army and while in Hapsburg service, he had distinguished himself by defeating Prussian forces of Fedrick the Great in the War of the Bavarian Succession. It is said, Napoleon being a student of history, respected Wurmser greatly and after his final defeat of the latter, offered unexpectedly generous terms, and allowed Wurmser to return to Austria with the remainder of his men and his colors intact, which helped Wurmser avoid the wrath of his superiors.

I assume his communications were well organized. Nothing of the sorts of "Take these hills *if practicable*" (Lee at Gettisburg), or sending Light Brigade in the direction of an unspecified handwave (Balaklava), or the order that left Union line broken at Chickamagua. But even if his comms organization was at the same level as his opponents - look at his positioning. Before anything begins, he already had well established interior lines of communications. And while being dispersed over the vast countryside, all major parts of his army remained within an approximate 40 mile distance by a road of each other. So, less than a day for a horse messenger, and a somewhat-less-than-two-days march by infantry. By comparison, the Austrians, sheeesh! I mean, attacking on both sides of lake Garda would require an unhealthy amount of windserfers to maintain communications at the best of times.

"This effectively brought to a close one of the most critical periods of the whole 1796 campaign, which had seen success and failure for both sides. The Austrians had succeeded in relieving Mantua and capturing the French siege artillery, but Bonaparte had managed, if only narrowly, to keep his army intact, and by a brilliant piece of active defence, had not lost an inch of ground. The cost for both sides had been enormous. The Austrians finally calculated that they had lost about 12,500 men, while in his memoirs Bonaparte admitted to a loss of 7,000, though it is impossible to say how accurate this is. It was two thoroughly exhauseted and severely weakened armies that now tried to recuperate before the next phase of operations. -Extract from the end of 'Mantua to Castilgione' chapter of 'The Road to Rivoli', by Martin Boycott-Brown. Ive been reading this book for a while and its awesome to read it and then get to watch EHTV's great visualisation of the events. For anyone very interested in the Italian campaign or just the Napoleonic wars in general, i highly recommend the book.

The episode is made from the heart. I loved the music change at 16:50. The narration and the narrative both make it easy to visualise the problems Napoleon faced and the solutions he devised. I belong to the side of the argument that is in favour of calling Napoleon 'the great', because he had a relatively short active life and each aspect of it could individually be worthy of a movie script. His life in Corsica, and his mother's affair that helped kickstart his education in France, the formative years- that snowball incident, 13 Vendemiarie, Josephine and her ex-lover's patronage to get command of army of Italy. From Invasion of Egypt to first Consul to Emperor- it's a fairytale. Austerlitz to Waterloo is rather a cautionary tale. His late life, in St Helena is also a very interesting documentation.

The affair with Marboeuf is likely a legend. His family was already well off by Corsican standard and the support they received was consistent with his father's willingness to collaborate with the French takeover and not that different from the other families that were elevated to French nobility in Corsica. In fact, the very reason that he was left alone with his mom in the first place was because his father went off to France to secure further benefits. There's been a lot of attempts, started by the man himself, to portray his family as poor and starting from nothing but they were basically the 2nd family in Ajaccio and by the time he was "cutting his pay in half to help his poor mother", Joseph was already married to the daughter of one of the richest man in France and pocketing millions. The Snowball fight is a legend, completely made up.

@@beats4hobner He did not codify the law himself. The Code Napoleon was written and put together entirely by "some prominent legal minds". Napoleon's grasp of the law and economics was limited and he relied intensively on actual experts. For instance, he initially favored a return to the guild system until he was talked out of it. That does not take away from him ordering the code be made that way but he had very little input on it. All the military innovations you list were invented by other people prior to Napoleon and used by the revolutionaries to an extent. Horse artillery for instance had been around since Frederick the Great. His genius is that not he discovered any of it as much as he put it together and used it so efficiently. The army he inherited from the revolution gave him the means to score those early victories that made him famous but it also illustrates what happens from 1806 onward as the army replenishes itself with new recruits to replace the experienced soldiers and the decreasing quality of the Grande Armee. The patronage of Egyptology is actually an accident. The scientists and scholars brought along to legitimize the expedition to Egypt were supposed to help with amazing things like "better bread production" and other logistical problems but once they arrived to Egypt they had nothing to do and Napoleon reluctantly agreed to let them mess around in Egyptian ruins but his personal interest was limited. Don't get me wrong. Napoleon is an immensely complex character to study and he's very interesting. Its just that when you dig a lot you realize that he's not a one man wonder predestined to end up as Emperor of France. He received a great upbringing from his father and uncle but I think it bears saying that most of the Bonaparte family made a good impression on the mainland due to their education. Napoleon himself did not become head of the family until he took control of France. Up to that point it was Joseph who had the money and made the major decisions for the family. Napoleon narrowly avoided a completely different fate when he requested Joseph send him a pasta specialist and funds to buy machines to launch a pasta making business. We could be talking about the Emperor of Pastas instead of the Emperor of France right now but Joseph thought the idea was beneath the family's dignity and refused the request.

One could argue that Napoleon did not give Sauret in Salò enough troops, thereby leaving the army's lines of communication vulnerable to an attack west of Lake Garda. Napoleon had a lot of ground to cover, and a siege to maintain. The roads north and west of Lake Garda were also not thought to be suitable for large forces. So it's not exactly reckless. But if Wurmser and Quosdanovich had stuck to their plan and kept driving forward, Nap would have been in an ugly situation.

I hope we can one day see Archduke Charles' Rhine Campaign against Moreau and Jourdan. Charles' career is commonly reduced to that one time he narrowly beat Napoleon at Aspern but the Rhine Campaign was the true highlight of his military career.

After receiving orders from the Directory to divide Army of Italy into Kellerman's army in the north and Bonaparte's in the south, Napoleon writes a letter to the government: "Kellerman can command the army as well as I can, but to join Kellerman and me in Italy means to lose everything. Better one bad general than two good ones. War as well as government is a matter of tact." Anyway, he threatened the government with his resignation. Bonaparte's calculation paid off. The Directory did not risk the loss of the only winning general at that moment.

They have said on their Patreon that this and Eyula are the plans for this year in regards to Napoloen. A broad overview of World War 2 in the style of the World War 1 video will come this year i believe is what was said in the live chat of this video. It's likely that we are gonna get another acients or medieval series, like the Belasarious series and then probably another series on self contained non militarily like the Apollo videos. Then probably another Napoloen series via patron vote.

In my area the resistance against Napoleon's French army became a matter of folk culture, with its protagonists being traditionally portayed in puppets shows. On and around Lake Como, in Lombardy where I live, during the french occupation an anti-french guerrilla group called "The Chatolic Army" was formed, led by the brigand Giacomo Carciocchi, who resisted the french effort to size church property and enforce military conscription. They even managed to capture a french cannon ship that was roaming lake Como and they used it in battle in 1799 when they defeated the french in a battle in Dongo, the stolen ship offered coverfire for the men that were helding off the french, while barricated in the ruins of an old medieval castle... In these cases folk legends mix with history, but i find really fascinating studying the lore of my local area :D

It's very interesting to see Epic History covering Napoleon's early campaigns while HistoryMarche is doing an entire video series covering Eugene of Savoy's campaign in Eastern Europe under the Austrians. Eugene was one of Napoleon's military role models, and who, likely despite his grudge against Austria, began to respect them over time (between their resilience and ties to Empress Josephine)
This episode made my day, But the closing music of this episode with Napoleon on his horse , is just breathtaking and forces you to check daily for Part 3. Can’t wait!

9:00 Younger Napoleon was afraid of his army marching from Turin to Naples well knowing the dangers of it, still he decided on atacking Russia years later, with an army 5-10 times bigger and a distance to cover 2-3 longer on a much rougher country... not surprinsgly everyone got sick and died.
