"He is too late." Now that's a much more honest portrayal of Napoleon's opinion on religion. He is after all the same person who imprisoned the Pope and said God was on the side of the bigger battalions.

The demise of l'Orient deeply touched both French and British sailors, there are poems about this event both in french and english. Lord Nelson is even buried with a piece of the main mast that they retrieved from the battle... Field? Waters? Battlewaters

The sound effects for the naval battle are freaking awesome

I love how much they prioritized baguettes. This makes the story 1000% better.

The Brits publishing all those letters is hysterical to me. British and French rivalry will never stop being entertaining 😂

"He is too late"
Damn that is a line for the ages, but I don't know if as a villain line or a badass line. Probably villain line.

Here in France, they never tell us about all of this in school. They tell us very little about Napoléon actually. They mostly tell us that he united France, fought the evil royalist, and almost made the whole world french with his conquest haha.

"Cuckoleon" in the British papers is absolutely amazing lmao

At the Battle of the Nile, the British squadron slipping around to the shoreward side of the French line was the coup de grace. Each French ship had to muster the entire crew to man the guns on both sides to fight two opponents at once, while the British ships could consolidate their best men on one side of the ship. For a multitude of reasons, this means that they could fire faster and more accurately, and their shots were twice as likely to injure an enemy sailor while passing through the French gundeck (since the ball and splinters could also hit the French sailors fighting the opposite side).

That possibility was why the French anchored close to the shore - they didn't want to be surrounded. But the British managed it anyway.

Admiral Aristide Aubert du Petit-Thouars continuing to command atop a bucket while slowly bleeding to death from limb loss is one of my favorite historical naval tales of being defiant in the face of defeat.

French priorities

The French captain in the opening is fucking built different, giving orders after losing *three of his limbs.*

Religious authority was not merely subordinate to secular authority under the Ottomans. The Ottoman Sultan also held the title of "Caliph", meaning they claimed to be the highest religious authority for all of Islam.
