When The People Profiles can’t cover your story in a single video, you KNOW you left your mark on history!

[punishedvenomsnake]

I absolutely adore this channel and it's become one of my favorites. I've developed a recent habit of grabbing dinner, coming home and watching one of these documentaries instead of watching a movie while enjoying my meal.

Can't wait for Part 2! :D

Napoleon showed how getting an education, people skills, critical thinking, hard work and taking calculated risks can help you achieve anything.

Babe, wake up. New The People Profiles miniseries just dropped!

Seriously, we love this channel. So excited for this!

[MTBNeuro]

Love these videos. No bias, no agenda, just pure history. Great listening while I'm sitting on night shift.

As an amateur historian, a huge fan of all history, and who watches nearly every big historian Youtuber, I must say, this is my favorite channel. The work and detail that goes into these, makes it look like a big budget documentary series. I can sit here for an hour and a half and I can barely tell so much time has gone by, just soaking in everything presented here.

I will continue to watch every single video you post, and I almost never do patreon, I will be joining yours to further support the hard work you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Very few people have entire eras named after them.

I find it funny that this channel had more sense to break up napoleons life into different parts, unlike Ridley Scott cramming it all into a below average film

[willakana]

Woohoo! I've watched a ton of biography videos on Napoleon and yet I'm learning so much from this one already! Thank you!

[nathanielerskine]

I just watched the Ridley Scott movie. Now I'm brushing up my historical knowledge with these documentaries. Thanks.

Fascinating and rich video which is a very good primer for the complex events of the French revolution as well as a comprehensive history of Napoleon's early life.

Napoleon was undoubtedly a rare military talent, witty and successful politician. He won lot of battles, gain a lot of titles. However, a special trubute paid to him from a historical perspective, he still remained an object of significant interest to researchers all over the world. His political decisions are outlined course of French history for very many years forward, on the other hand, Napoleon himself, as a true national leader made a bunch of mistakes, that doomed thriving and opulent Empire he created. He ventured to undertake some crucial false steps. From philosophical viewpoint it is of course is a big lesson for progeny.

Outstanding video! I have learned so much from this and especially like the way that Napoleon's life and career (and his evolution as a leader) are explained in the context of how and why Europe was evolving politically the way that it was.

I am going to share this with a dear friend who is a history teacher. He will love it! Off to find the video for Part 2. Thank you so much! (Oh, just noticed that pt. 2 has not dropped yet. I'll be watching for it!)

One of the greatest military strategists ever lived.

[deutschesmaedchen]

This channel is so much better than Weird History.

[SoftwareCares]

Amazing as always! I can't wait for part two. Looking forward for one on leonardo da vinci. Thanks for amazing work!

This is not about Napoléon, but here we go: contrary to common belief, Robespierre was one of the most moderate members of the Comité de Salut Public. His image still suffers, after 250 years, from the various black legends crafted and spread by those who sent him to the scaffold. But it's also worth stressing that the man, influential as he was, wasn't the director, or president, or whatever of the dreaded Comité, which was a collective institution where no member held more authority than the others. He was actually working to end the Reign of Terror when the Comité was overthrown at the instigation of Fouché, the murderous, bloodthirsty thug who knew Robespierre was very intent on holding him accountable for his numerous crimes.

I saw the Ridley Scott movie tonight and im of the opinion you can't do Napoleon justice with a runtime of 2-3 hours. I liked the movie but after reading books about him and watching this video it made me a bit sad because there is just so much more to tell.

"In short Napoleon was complicated" - Narrator 💯 😂

I listen to wonderful documentaries like these, with headphones, while doing "My Job" and feel like I'm getting a "Free Education" while getting paid to "worK"...!! Such a relaxing & calm voice-over is nice background to cover the loud & obnoxious co-workers I have to tolerate in the Office. Thanks People Profiles..!!
