Napoleon Seizes Power - The Brumaire Coup

-------------------------------------
In 1799, the young French Republic faced war with a coalition of European enemies, and an unpopular and corrupt government at home.

In the midst of disorder, military hero Napoleon Bonaparte returns from his campaign in Egypt. He has built a formidable reputation, he is adored by the people, and is viewed as an essential ally for those vying for power.

But Napoleon has his own ambitions, and on one famous day in November, he will take decisive action to make them a reality. This is the full story of the Brumaire Coup - a day that changed the course of French history.

This Napoleonic Series from Epic History TV is honestly the best thing in the world.

"My only regret of my life is that I haven't made enough content for Epic History TV to make new videos about me every month." - Napoleon Bonaparte, 1821

“Nothing could be more beautiful than epic history releasing a Napoleon video”
- Albert Einstein probably -

Whenever an Epic History TV video is over: Citizens you have been dissolved!

“It was worse at Arcole” what a line to tell to Deputy Augereau. Charisma!!!

"Hey guys. OH MY GOSH! QUICK! There's a dangerous Jacobin plot to overthrow you which we definitely aren't just making up. Better get inside this cage so we can protect you."
"Ok."
"Gentlemen, we got 'em."

[HermanosLuDi]

The details are literally something I have never seen before. This topic wasn't really explained and was left somewhat as a "footnote", you explain this way better in such a short amount of time.

I have been watching the Napoleonic Series for a while and I have to be surprised by the amount of details that are not even explained in your schools. You researched a lot.

That's probably one of the best documentary series I have followed and enjoyed so far.

Sieyes' first choice for the coup, general Joubert, died on Napoleon's birthday. What a twist of fate, isn't it.

[davebowman]

You know politics are worse than war when Napoleon himself is overwhelmed by them

[LeeRenthlei]

If only Ridley Scott had watched your Napoleonic wars series the movie would've been a hundred times better than what we've got.

[didierduval]

As a French it is amazing to have your history explained in such great details and objectivity by an English speaker. I would have love to have the text of the discussions written in French as well to have the true words of the protagonists. It would have add to the realism. Overall it's a channel of great quality that I follow with passion. Keep up guys!

[MrZozowok]

As a French, I'm happy to rediscover my own history, espacially eras like this, often hurrily covered in History books and classes

[tohidlatifiShCh]

Napoleon's life story, is by far better than many epic fantasy movies and novels...
How a man could have a life this much epic?

[Fryepod]

Putting this comment early to boost algorithm and to just absolutely shamelessly
admit time and time again what a huge fan boy at 30 years old I am of this channel.

Most importantly it actually made me deep dive into this era and the French Revolution in general whether by book or even more additional YT conent. That's what everyone interested in history *should* aspire to be.

[SisypheanTragedy]

Epic History TV is a national treasure 💎

[jessedellross]

The best history channel on YouTube with the best series on napoleon I’ve ever seen.

“Citizens you are dissolved”. And a new dictatorship thus began
