15 1769
2:30
on the island of
2:32
Corsica his family was not rich or
2:36
powerful his father Carlo was a lawyer
2:39
who often struggled to provide for his
2:42
large
2:43
family his mother latisia was a strong
2:47
and determined woman who worked
2:49
tirelessly to raise her
2:51
children she was strict but deeply
2:54
loving teaching Napoleon the importance
2:56
of discipline and resilience
3:00
Napoleon had seven siblings and life in
3:03
their modest home was often noisy and
3:06
chaotic the bonapart family lived in a
3:09
world that was both beautiful and
3:12
harsh the corsac hills were covered with
3:15
wild flowers and the Sea sparkled in the
3:19
sunlight but the Island's economy was
3:22
poor and opportunities were
3:25
few Carlo dreamed of a better future for
3:28
his children especially Napoleon whom he
3:31
saw as exceptionally bright and
3:35
ambitious from a young age Napoleon
3:38
showed that he was
3:40
different he was smart curious and full
3:43
of
3:44
energy he often played games where he
3:47
pretended to be a leader commanding his
3:50
friends as if they were
3:52
soldiers but Corsica was small and
3:55
Napoleon dreamed of a bigger
3:58
world he wanted to leave the island and
4:01
make his
4:02
Mark when Napoleon was just 9 years old
4:06
Carlo managed to send him to school in
4:09
France it was a big change for the young
4:13
boy he had to leave his family and
4:15
travel to a foreign land where
4:17
everything felt
4:19
strange the other students teased him
4:22
because of his corsac accent and treated
4:24
him like an
4:26
outsider they called him names and made
4:29
him feel feel
4:30
small but Napoleon did not let their
4:33
words defeat
4:35
him instead he worked harder than anyone
4:39
else he studied history and admired the
4:42
great leaders of the
4:44
past he learned about Alexander the
4:47
Great and Julius Caesar imagining
4:50
himself following in their
4:52
footsteps books became his escape and
4:55
knowledge became his
4:57
weapon he believed that if he worked
5:00
hard enough he could rise above the
5:02
insults and the
5:05
challenges at the age of 16 Napoleon
5:08
became a
5:10
soldier he joined a military academy and
5:13
quickly impressed his teachers with his
5:15
intelligence and
5:18
determination he wasn't tall or
5:20
physically strong but his mind was sharp
5:23
and his will was
5:25
unbreakable Napoleon understood that
5:28
success does not come to those who
5:31
wait it comes to those who fight for it
5:34
step by step no matter how difficult the
5:37
journey may
5:38
seem as a young Soldier Napoleon often
5:42
thought about his family back in
5:45
Corsica he missed them deeply but used
5:48
his longing as
5:50
motivation he wanted to make them
5:53
proud each day he pushed himself to
5:57
learn more to grow stronger and to
6:00
prepare for the future he dreamed
6:02
of Napoleon's heart was filled with
6:05
ambition and he was ready to face any
6:08
challenge that came his
6:10
way when Napoleon was a young officer
6:13
France was in
6:15
chaos the French Revolution had started
6:19
and many groups were fighting for
6:21
power the streets of Paris were full of
6:24
angry crowds and the countryside was
6:27
torn apart by violence
6:30
it was a time of fear but for Napoleon
6:34
it was also a time of
6:36
opportunity he believed that moments of
6:39
trouble could lead to Greatness if
6:41
someone was brave enough to
6:43
act in
6:45
1793 a city called tulone rose up
6:48
against the French
6:50
government the rebels had the support of
6:53
the British Navy and things looked very
6:55
bad for
6:57
France Napoleon was sent to help take
7:00
back the city even though he was still
7:02
mostly
7:04
unknown many people did not believe he
7:07
could
7:08
succeed but Napoleon was smart and
7:11
brave he studied the city and made a
7:14
clever
7:16
plan While others waited Napoleon took
7:19
bold
7:20
action he changed the French artillery
7:23
and focused on hitting important enemy

1796 he married a woman named Josephine
10:36
Deo she was a widow with two children
10:39
elegant and graceful and much loved in
10:42
Parisian
10:43
Society for Napoleon it was love at
10:47
first
10:48
sight he was fascinated by her charm
10:51
Beauty and
10:54
kindness despite her initial hesitation
10:57
Josephine agreed to marry him
10:59
him Napoleon's love for Josephine was
11:03
deep and
11:04
strong while Leading Armies in Far Away

11:18
forever you are the soul of my existence
11:22
my guiding
11:23
star his words showed a sight of him
11:27
that few people saw a man capable of
11:30
strong feelings and great
11:32
love but their relationship was far from
11:36
perfect Josephine was older than
11:39
Napoleon and thought about life in a
11:41
different
11:42
way she was not always loyal to him and
11:46
her actions hurt him
11:48
deeply despite this Napoleon continued
11:51
to love her though their marriage became
11:54
more difficult over
11:56
time while his personal life had both
11:59
happened happiness and sadness
12:01
Napoleon's ambition never
12:03
faded he saw Josephine as a partner in
12:06
his rise to
12:08
Greatness she helped him handle the
12:11
tricky world of French politics and high
12:13
society using her connections to make
12:16
him
12:17
stronger Napoleon's letters to her often
12:20
mentioned his dreams of building an
12:22
empire and achieving lasting Fame
12:25
through his
12:26
work however as Napoleon power grew the
12:30
stress on their relationship became too
12:33
much Josephine's inability to have
12:36
children was hard for Napoleon who
12:39
wanted a child to carry on his
12:41
legacy in 1810 after years of struggle
12:46
Napoleon made the painful decision to
12:48
divorce
12:50
Josephine he later married Marie Louise
12:53
of Austria hoping to secure the future
12:56
of his
12:57
family even after they parted Napoleon
13:00
and Josephine stayed
13:03
connected he never stopped caring for
13:05
her and often spoke of her with
13:08
warmth when Josephine died in
13:11
1814 Napoleon was deeply
13:15
saddened her memory stayed with him
13:17
until his final days a reminder of the
13:20
difficulties of love and the sacrifices
13:23
that ambition sometimes
13:26
demands Napoleon's love story with
13:29
Josephine teaches us that even the
13:31
strongest and most determined people
13:33
have
13:35
weaknesses it shows us the importance of
13:38
connection the pain of loss and the
13:40
lasting Power of Love even in the face
13:43
of hard
13:45
choices by
13:47
1804 Napoleon was a hero in
13:50
France the people admired him for his
13:54
intelligence charm and ability to bring
13:57
order to a country that had suffered
13:59
offed many years of
14:01
Revolution with the support of the
14:03
people Napoleon declared himself emperor
14:06
of
14:07
France his coronation was a grand
14:10
event in a surprising act Napoleon
14:14
placed the crown on his own head instead
14:17
of letting the pope do it this bold
14:20
action showed that Napoleon believed his
14:23
power came from his own hard work not
14:25
from
14:26
God as Emperor no Napoleon worked to
14:30
improve
14:31
France he wanted to make the country
14:34
strong and
14:35
United he changed the education system
14:39
creating schools that gave opportunities
14:42
to children from all
14:44
backgrounds he built roads and bridges
14:47
to make travel and trade
14:49
easier one of his greatest achievements
14:52
was the Napoleonic Code a set of laws
14:55
that made rules simpler and fairer
14:59
these laws protected people's rights and
15:01
still influence legal systems around the
15:04
world
15:05
today Napoleon's plans went beyond
15:09
France he wanted to create a United
15:12
Europe under his
15:14
rule through agreements and military
15:17
victories he expanded his
15:20
Empire he took control of places like
15:23
Italy Spain and parts of
15:26
Germany his dream of a European Empire
15:29
was big but it also caused
15:33
problems many countries did not want to
15:35
be ruled by him and they formed
15:38
alliances to fight
15:40
back as Napoleon became more powerful
15:43
his life became
15:45
harder he spent his days planning Wars
15:49
running his Empire and solving many
15:52
problems he worked very hard and often
15:55
slept only a few hours a night
15:59
but with more power came more
16:02
pressure some of his decisions were
16:04
affected by pride and his belief that he
16:07
could not
16:08
fail one important part of Napoleon's
16:11
rule was his connection with the
16:13
Catholic
16:14
church he allowed people in France to
16:17
practice their religion
16:19
freely but he also used the church as a
16:23
way to keep Society
16:25
stable while this approach worked well
16:28
some people thought he did not respect
16:30
religion
16:32
enough Napoleon's empire was built with
16:35
hard work ambition and the support of
16:38
his
16:39
people but as his power grew so did his
16:43
problems the countries against him
16:46
became stronger and rebellions in his
16:48
Empire made it harder to stay in
16:51
control even with these challenges
16:54
Napoleon's dream of a United Europe left
16:57
a lasting impact
17:00
he showed that being a leader is not
17:02
only about power but also about
17:04
inspiring people and creating lasting
17:08
change but even the greatest leaders
17:11
must face the results of their
17:13
choices for Napoleon his desire for
17:17
ultimate power would eventually lead to
17:19
his
17:20
downfall in
17:22
1812 Napoleon made a serious
17:26
mistake he decided to invade Russia
17:29
thinking it would help him control
17:31
Europe he led an army of over 600,000
17:35
men the largest he had ever commanded on
17:39
this ambitious
17:40
campaign at first his soldiers moved
17:44
quickly capturing cities and marching
17:46
deep into
17:48
Russia but the Russians had a clever
17:51
plan they retreated and burned
17:54
everything as they
17:56
went Villages crops and supplies were
18:00
destroyed leaving nothing for Napoleon's
18:02
Army to
18:04
use when Napoleon reached Moscow he
18:08
found the city
18:09
burning the Russians had set it on fire
18:12
so he could not claim
18:14
victory with no shelter in winter coming
18:18
Napoleon had to
18:19
retreat the Russian winter was
18:23
harsh temperatures dropped below
18:25
freezing and there was very little food
18:29
many soldiers died from Hunger cold and
18:32
attacks by Russian
18:35
forces by the time Napoleon's Army
18:38
returned to France only a small part of
18:41
it was
18:42
left this failure hurt Napoleon's power
18:45
and
18:47
reputation the world now saw that
18:49
Napoleon was not
18:51
unbeatable his enemies joined together
18:54
to defeat him in
18:57
1814 they invaded France and Napoleon
19:01
was forced to give up his
19:03
throne he was exiled to the small island
19:06
of Elba near
19:08
Italy on Elba he was allowed to rule a
19:12
small area but it was nothing like the
19:14
large empire he once
19:16
had while on Elba Napoleon thought about
19:20
his
19:21
life he knew he had made mistakes but he
19:25
believed he could still achieve
19:27
something important
19:29
in
19:30
1815 less than a year later Napoleon
19:33
escaped from Elba and returned to
19:36
France many soldiers and citizens
19:39
supported him and soon he was in power
19:42
again this time became known as the 100
19:46
days as Napoleon tried one last time to
19:49
rebuild his
19:51
Empire but Napoleon's enemies were ready
19:54
to stop him at the Battle of watero he
19:58
faced British and Prussian
20:01
armies even though Napoleon was a
20:03
brilliant leader he could not win
20:06
against their strong
20:08
forces he was defeated and his dream of
20:11
rebuilding his Empire was
20:13
over after waterl Napoleon was sent away
20:17
again this time to the island of St
20:20
Helena in the Atlantic
20:22
Ocean unlike Elba St Helena was far away
20:27
and there was no way to
20:29
escape Napoleon's time as a leader was
20:32
over but his ideas and achievements
20:35
continued to inspire people around the
20:38
world after the battle of watero
20:41
Napoleon was exiled to the lonely island
20:44
of St
20:46
Helena it was far away in the Atlantic
20:49
Ocean a place where the world's most
20:51
famous man could be
20:53
forgotten stripped of power and far from
20:57
Josephine Napoleon spent his days
20:59
thinking about his extraordinary
21:02
life he wrote about his victories and
21:05
his
21:06
failures he hoped that history would
21:09
remember him on the island Napoleon
21:13
often talked about the people he had
21:15
loved and the battles he had
21:17
fought he said that his ambition had
21:20
helped him do great
21:22
things but it had also caused his
21:25
downfall how fragile is power he said
21:29
and how quickly it
21:32
fades yet he did not live in
21:35
regret instead he used his time to think
21:39
about the lessons of his
21:41
life he tried to find meaning in both
21:44
his successes and his
21:46
mistakes Napoleon's Health became worse
21:50
because of the harsh conditions on St
21:53
Helena The Damp climate and the stress
21:56
of being alone weakened his body
21:59
yet his mind stayed
22:02
strong even in Exile he talked about the
22:05
future of
22:06
Europe he spoke of the need for Unity
22:10
and fair
22:11
laws he dreamed of a world where people
22:14
succeeded because of their talent not
22:17
their family
22:18
name these ideas though spoken from a
22:22
small island would live on long after
22:25
him in his final days Napo aan often
22:29
thought of
22:31
Josephine though they had been separated
22:33
by time and distance his love for her
22:36
had never
22:37
faded he also thought about his
22:41
soldiers these men had followed him
22:43
through so many
22:45
battles for Napoleon they were not just
22:49
soldiers they were like
22:51
brothers on May 5th
22:54
1821 Napoleon died at the age of 51
22:59
his last words were simple France the
23:02
Army
23:04
Josephine these words showed the three
23:07
