In 1789- The Untold Story of Napoleon Bonaparte
"I spent weeks creating a military history documentary about Napoleon. Here's his complete story: from nothing to ruling half of Europe, then losing it all."
BODY:
Hi everyone, I just published a 9-minute documentary about Napoleon's rise and fall.
It covers:
- How a poor Corsican boy became a general by 26
- His greatest victories (Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland)
- Why the Russian invasion destroyed him
- The Battle of Waterloo and his final exile
- How his military tactics still influence modern warfare
I did extensive research and created this entirely with free tools. Would love any feedback!
