1. Цифры русских войск крайне неверны, всего на европейском направлении их было 220000.
2. Больше всего французов погибло от партизанских движений, а не от погоды.
3. Войска формировались не из крестьян, как тут говорится, а из дворян, целью жизни которых было защищать свою родину.
4. Вы крайне сильно снижаете потенциал и силу русских людей
"Quick, the French are taking the city. Release all these prisoners and tell them to burn it to the ground."
"Well, well, Jimmy the Arsonist, you are not going to believe your luck."
Then, it got cold, stupid cold.
Funny I just got done binge watching War & Peace mini-series 3 nights ago where this battle was depicted in the show.
Russia had two capitals, thus the whole "take the capital, win the war" simply did not work.
The occupation of Moscow by the French lasted a little more than a month, from September 2 (14) to October 8 (20), 1812, and became the turning point of the Patriotic War of 1812. Fires that occurred in Moscow in the period from September 14 to 18, 1812 during the occupation of the city by French troops. The fire engulfed almost the entire Earthen and White cities, as well as large areas on the outskirts of the city, destroying three-quarters of wooden buildings. Historians claim that the Russians burned Moscow to drain Napoleon's army of blood, so that the wintering failed or Napoleon's troops accidentally set a fire before winter. Because of the fire, Napoleon's army had to leave Moscow in the almost cold weather
why aren't more youtube videos in this aspect ration
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
I love your channel
Keep up the great stuff
Napoleon "wintered in Moscow"? His army left on October 19… I appreciate the human stories and detailed illustrations of these videos, but the commentary can be misleading and the context is often absent.
25 years of forced military service? Hot damn.
Quisling?
travails?
wretched?

d) Georgia 2008
we have been fighting the barbaric orient for the centuries , we Litwins know the drill … "Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."—gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.— thomas gomart, 20062 "
Day 150 of asking the armchair historian to make a video on Canadian army uniforms
Wurttemberg, a sleeping giant with millions of soldiers kek
Interesting, short and incomplete reiew. French soldiers hold their arm in the modern manner "low ready" which is totally wrong and funny.
Хочу сказать, что я русский и знаю Бородинское сражение почти наизусть, и я могу сказать, что здесь есть грубая ошибка, так как на одном участке с Наполеоном было 2 армии численностью около 180.000 человек, а у Вас сказано будто больше половины миллиона. Русская армия может в те времена и достигала таких размеров, но силы которые могли оказать сопротивление Наполеону были размером в 180000 человек, именно поэтому 2 армии и отступали из-за такого огромного численного перевеса Наполеоновских войск. Однако я ещё хочу добавить, что на Бородинском поле присутствовало примерно по 150000 человек с обеих сторон
Please I beg of you please release your videos in a good size this tiny super short size drives me up the wall
"the Russian infantry is made of sterner stuff"
…is that a Julius Caesar reference?
I love Napoleon
I didn't know that Barclay was Scottish!
The Borodino Panorama in Moscow is really impressive, politics aside.
Even if Napoleon had sent his Old Guard in, the assault would not have been any more successful. The Russian guard sustained all the cannon and cavalry of the French army, the infantry may have been the one to rout them, but the Russian guard were notorious for their refusal to be turned away at any cost.
Even if the Russian rearguard was routed, here's your issue: Catching the remnants of the army would need breakneck speed with a tired army, and even the Old Guard would be tired after engaging the rear. Everyone knew the casualties would be tremendous, and if Napoleon did indeed throw his Guard into this all, then he wouldn't have made it out of Russia when he was given a persisting chase.
3:50 Ney best cavalry commander? Nice try jokes
more serious, in 1812 the best commander of cavalry is marshall Murat
Marshall ney is "brave of the brave"
not for nothing that Davout finds himself on the board : his Corp nicknamed and titled "the 10th legion"
Berthier and military coordination is genius, but the most important thing is that berthier sends 200 orders. Even the technology that decodes encrypted order cannot decrypt the real order of the 200 letters
in the french empire only Murat and Lasalles are the super "ace" commander of the cavalry
Napoleon: Peace rests in Moscow
Alexander: Yes, eternal peace.
Problem is Napoleon was only thinking tactically. Short Term , The French were winning, long term Russians were winning. If only Napoleon focused on Spain instead of going to Moscow I think He could have remained in power a lot longer. Focus on getting Wellington out of the equation.
Fetid marshland?!
You should be nicer to nature. Its about to repay us in spades.
