Napoleon Endgame: France 1814

Following his defeat in the giant Battle of Leipzig (Oct 1813), Napoleon's final defeat seemed only a matter of time. But when Coalition armies crossed the Rhine and invaded France, Napoleon - outnumbered 4 to 1 - began one of the most daring and brilliant campaigns in military history. However Napoleon's hope that his victories would cause a fatal split in the Coalition did not materialise, and eventually, Schwarzenberg and Blücher's dash for Paris would seal the fate of the Napoleonic Empire. 👕 Buy EHTV t-shirts, hoodies, mugs and stickers here! https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/epic-history-tv-merch-shopThank you to our series partner Osprey Publishing https://ospreypublishing.com/📚Recommended reading (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases):📖The Napoleonic Wars by Todd Fisher http://geni.us/R5ZI9c📖Combat: French Guardsman vs Russian Jäger 1812-14 https://geni.us/rWnOT📖Napoleon's Scouts of the Imperial Guard by Ronald Pawly https://geni.us/noyqbj📖Napoleon's Guard Infantry by Philip Haythornthwaite https://geni.us/sbj92uT📖Napoleon's Wars by Charles Esdaile https://geni.us/NBrP📖Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts http://geni.us/NqMW📖Napoleon and the Struggle for Germany Vol 1 by Michael Leggiere https://geni.us/2WfiBe📖1813: Leipzig - Napoleon & the Battle of the Nations by Digby Smith https://geni.us/GMqpsG1🎶🎶 Music from Filmstro: https://filmstro.com/lifetime-license-offer?ref=EHTVGet 20% off an annual license with this exclusive code: EPICHISTORYTV_ANNThemes used in this episode:0.00 Earthquake; 2.23 Kilimanjaro; 5.38 Renegade; 8.21 General; 11.29 Skynet; 12.54 Poseidon; 14.52 Agent; 16.08 Major Incursion; 18.20 Warrior; 20.02 Centurion; 21.57 Renegade; 24.37 Viking; 27.08 Beoluth; 30.53 General🎶 Additional music from Kevin MacLeod (incompetetch.com):'Intrepid', Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support Epic History TV on Patreon from $1 per video, and get perks including ad-free early access & votes on future topics.https://www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTVPlay War Thunder for free!
