All You Need To Know About The Battle Of Waterloo

Nap took France a 2nd time but he had no visions of conquest.. He only wanted to live as King of France in peace and have his family returned to him from Austria.. Of course the allies refused and declared war on France. Napoleon attacked the allies before they could form up and crush him. The attack on Waterloo was forced by Wellington and his ilk.

why the hell am I reading comments about stalin???? jesus....

conquering no, establishing a uniform civil legal system including rights given to individuals replacing the old "I'm king fucktard I do what I want, I'm rich bitch!!!" system is. In fact that is one of the most important contributions.

You are putting forward a flawed argument, my friend Napoleon had non French soldiers in his ranks ,poles Swiss, all nationality's .Napoleon himself was not French, By the way he applied to join the Royal Navy. Before he joined the French army. In that time people were not so patriotic soldering was a job and they fought for anyone who paid them.

You are the one that is ignorant in more senses than one ,profanities are always used by the stupide, the French navy and the royal navy, both rejected him, if he did not apply to join the royal navy, then the letter they have must be a forgery, well according to stupide people like you.

Well history has a different version to you, it is not me who is lying, I didn't live in his times, I just read books, obviously you learnt your history at the cinema, which is where most children learn. a big ignorant . .You sound like a child . how old are you 12?

Well if you are a history student, as in studying a discipline, to prove a point you need to quote a source, Not act like a child, using foul language ,which proves nothing other than the fact you lack education. You forgot to add you are American.

...Ney, you fucking idiot!....

wow, that was.... inaccurate

peace for 100 years?
you lying bastards there were a TON of wars in europe
Greek War of Independence
1823 French invasion of Spain
1826–1828 Russo–Persian War
1833–1839 First Carlist War
1848–1849 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
1848–1866 Wars of Italian Independence
1866 Austro-Prussian War
1870–1871 Franco-Prussian War
1877–1878 Russo–Turkish War

only to mention the larger wars, there were over 20 wars fought over that time period of 100 years beyond waterloo.

Odd and inaccurate little doco. 100 years of peace? Which Europe was he thinking of?

Poor on detail, poor on accuracy. Sorry. Even an image of Bluecher being pulled from under his horse at Ligny was used in the brief description of the action of the Union Brigade. Ugh.

Are you german,samurai

no the allies, prussians and french clashed, so you got it wrong in the first 10 seconds

Man, I hate other people's countries.

he was not defeated by the coalition the russian winter defeated him he never lost during his conquest in europe 

napoleon got sick and took a nap leaving marshal ney in command so ney charge the British lines with heavy cavalry leading to a massacre killing ney in the process then napoleon woke up got piss at ney for charging cavalry without infantry support if there where infantry supporting ney he would've won the battle and napoleon wins the war 

how can anyone really get anything about a 4 day campaign in 5 min video apart from headlines 

A prussian victory ,,,thank's to Blücher : Sir Wellington

I find it so funny how germans fap over this shit yes you may have saved the day near the end but who did the most fighting you more like assisted UK but you can't say you won because you joined in just at the end

18th of JUNE not July

"french and british armies" yes british. 2/3 of the soldiers where german and dutch and then add the entire prussian army. "british armies" my arse.

You see? Anglo-German relations/cooperation date back 200 years, contrary to popular belief.

How the hell can Napoleon "invade" Belgium if it didn't even exist yet? It's the "vereenigd koninkrijk der Nederlanden". This entire video is full of inaccuracies

"Wellington became the most influential man in Europe, which enjoyed peace for the next 100 years."

Its depressing that that is only some of them and only Europe.... Gonna go eat Haagen Dazs now and watch kittens.

in hougoumont farm,,,only 1,5% English,,,,

They ment british armies because of the english, scots , welsh and irish armies of the british empirical army

The battle the brutish army had given was at the "water closet", where wellington was hiden after napoleon gave him a spand at Quatre Bras. This rat (wellington) let the prussians and allied forces do the job, and only left the water closet to boast "his" victory. All what is told about this battle is a lot of HORSESHIT.

What a lot of bullshit; Napoleon invaded Belgium. Belgium didn't even exist!

At 007 he said the 18th of July 1815- Wrong - it was the 18th  June -

Lots of mistakes in this video there were 17.000 dutch people fighting in this battle but no mention of the Netherlands lol

the English and prussia saved the day bull shit the dutch germans saved the day the germans defend the farms main task of the Dutch had held against de la garde . the Dutch and the Germans are not mentioned because without the Dutch , the battle had been long lost . Napoleon said while he was at St. zef hellena : if you had not been there would be as makelijk than the conquest of Groningen and was captured within a day

the English did indeed lead the army , but they were not allone, the Dutch(+Belgian ) and Prusians were equally represented. Indeed it was the Dutch army who tirned the final charge of the imperial guard. There are records of complaints to the Brits about this rape of history.

Again it is clear that brief documentaries are useless in presenting all you need to know about an historical event.
This one here is obviously intended to stupify people and maintain outworn myths. Leave this nationalistic shit and go to wikipedia instead if you really want to learn about the battle of Waterloo.

The video is bullshit as real story of Waterloo is hugely different

At Waterloo whole humanity lost and tyrants won- Friedri ch Heuge

French army proved better in everything than the allied one...Rain,more cannons and the hill of Mont Saint Jean were the reasons why Napoleon lost

The commentator has a young voice, and I suspect the video is recent, so  this old fashioned,  grossly inaccurate video is a disgrace and an embarrassment - though the Dutch should remember that the Prince of Orange was responsible for the deaths of many British infantry with his refusal to allow their sergeants to order them into Squares.  Slaughtered by French Cavalry.  Pillock.

Wasn't Waterloo on the 18th June?!

Wait so Prussia had 123,000 men? What? That's dumb. Yeah this is a awful documentary

If the British troops weren't there Waterloo would've been lost. The Dutch troops would be outnumbered and without Wellington's tactical skill the battle would've been lost

while examining my Inner Comrade and thinking on this, I believe I may have been spoken to by the Progressive Holy Trinity. (Marx (father), Lenin (son) and the Communist Party (holy ghost))
The old Bible is nothing but empty space - so much trees and paper wasted on something that can fit into a much smaller, yet much more informative and to-the-point instruction pamphlet.
If all those uncounted pages say the same things as the Builder of Communism's Moral Code Pamphlet, they are redundant. And if they contradict the Builder of Communism's Moral Code Pamphlet, they are harmful and must be destroyed. Either way, the memory of them must be erased from the Collective Consciousness with the help of historical revisionism in the academia, news media, and the Party's branches in the entertainment sector.

the forces that turned the guard were DUTCH you know the guys in orange

Do your homework

the video told 18 of July 1815 it is wrong it should be 18 of June 1815

How can you compare Hitler and Napoleon!!!

Yeah boner part

lololol

your all gae

Never divide your force. Napoleon would have annihilated Wellingtons army had he kept Grouchy's 30,000 and attacked at 9am.
