History's epic plot twist! 🚀 French cavalry, no ships, but they capture a Dutch fleet on a frozen bay. Surrender without a fight – talk about tactical finesse! 🕊💪
What a fun story
🤔The white tips of waves are sometimes called horses, they rode them to the ships and captured them🤗 hussar
How interesting 🧐🧐
1:25 ah yes, the Dutch Republic, my favourite monarchy
the infographics show do a video on british secret service most wanted or cia most wanted👍👋
1:49 oh no it’s SCP-3288
😷☕
That's right.
10 years later the same happens to the english fleet in the english invation of buenos aires, in this case general miguel de guemes with his cavalry attacks the english ships stucked in the river plate
My country, cool.
Another historical event that you do not mention in the video is the capture of a British ship by a group of cavalry led by Juan Manuel de Rosas during the first British invasion of Buenos Aires in 1806. So this case was increíble too.
So Age of Empires is in fact historically accurate
as I was in the Dutch army part of a scout division we still held the title Huzaar
The French commander who made up the story of the battle (several decades later) also made up other unlikely stories. He claimed for example to have conquered the town of Haarlem on his own. For none of these claims was any evidence.
What do the Dutch think about this defeat?
Just so people know, Napoleon only had jurisdiction under the Army of Italy, and later that of Egypt until 1801, when he launched his coup’d 18 Brumaire, creating the French Consulate, and later the French Empire
Can we get the next episode on the “I survived an alien invasion” please?
🇺🇸
"De Winter" is the right name under the circumstances.
War.. war never changes
Coincedentally, there was a short, daily historical documentary called "TV Calendar" segment about this very event last week. 😆
Congrats on getting a pedialyte commercial
again advertising for that new napolean movie?
Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction

King Louis XVI wasn't 'Louis the Last'. He was succeeded as the Legitimate King of France by his brother, King Louis XVIII.
you said 17th century ships but I believe you meant 18th? at 1:13.. it's definitely an error unless they were sailing in 100 year old boats?
Would prob be better to consult an actual dutch person when it comes to pronouncing all those terms. None of the words outside of Den Helder sounded even close to correct, even with an english accent😅
We don’t talk about this. We talk about capturing the Spanish Silverfleet and financing the revolution.
For clarity, it's important to note that Napoleon initially held authority solely within the Army of Italy and later in Egypt until 1801.
It was then that he orchestrated the coup d'état on 18 Brumaire, establishing the French Consulate and eventually the French Empire.
Another noteworthy historical incident not covered in the video is the seizure of a British ship by a cavalry unit led by Juan Manuel de Rosas during the initial British invasion of Buenos Aires in 1806.
This event is equally remarkable and deserves attention.
It Britain not England.
France, Holland and denmark were so bad at holding onto their fleets in this era 😅
You showed an image of southern Belgium and northern France when talking about crossing deeper further north into the Netherlands
question how did napoleon defeat the germans wasen't the german army suposed to be a force of nature?
fun fact about the dutch or as the english called them cheezeheads, during this time they were the fastest schipbuilders in europe by reusing parts from dismanteled schips they could build in half the time(a mere 6 monds) the english schipyards(1year) could.
Let's look into this tiger shark thing…
Can you do a “Minute by minute” video for the January 6th capitol storm?
