A great video, the song sounds familiar but I can't place where else I've heard it. What's it called or part of?

Decide the fate of Europe? The Russians had a 300, 000 man army coming in 2 weeks. a 250, 000 Austrian army was also sitting right inside German with another 80, 000 as I remember coming up from Italy.
Napoleon was the only person in Europe that thought taking Brussels would make the allies give up. Lastly France was spent 20 years of continual warfare had depleted all man, horses, money and often materials to fight any more.

Pretty stupid move by napoleon, leaving an island that had a great house with all the comforts, gardens, lovely beaches etc .
Just to abscond and a few weeks later start another war & get a load more of his & other men killed, all for same end,
Losing the war for a second time 🙄
