ITT: Good guys who should've won but lost in the end

blame the russians

We were so close :(

Sorry about eating your soldiers' corpses, we were hungry ok

...

Napoleon was so based it makes you want to be French.
The only one that comes close is Alexander the Great.

*fortifies Torres Vedras*

Fucking retarded piece of shit wannabe napoleon

If Napoleon were alive today he'd see what he wanted
>unified state of europe with transcontinental trade
>britain cucked out and on its own
>russia still on the outside looking in, poorer and weaker than ever

...

Blame no one but yourself

lolno

Good post

yfw Napoleon would have crushed Protestantism and Islam if he had won

>not the Brits


WEW

...

>napoleon
>saint
the irony

what was napoleon's endgame though

>yfw Napoleon would have crushed Protestantism if he had won

liberation from monarchy's/feudalism and his civil code being the framework for law across the West with France at the center

Making Europe Great Again

>liberation from monarchy
A
FUCKING
EMPEROR

Manlets, when will they ever learn?

The corsicans are the most powerful race in the world

He was made Emperor by the people

see>lankcucks learn their place

How convenient for a Frenchman.

well he freed them from their monarch.
Any way you started that war because you were all jealous of our glorious new calendar.

Did the people also make his brother king of Spain?

>thicc women were in trend
Disgusting

>calendar full of perfume names
The only way this could be any gayer would be if it had firemen.

>portuguese and spanish peasants would rather fight for their feudal lords than have civil rights
kek

did it for the lulz and because pinhead iberians needed to be lorded over

C'mon guys, no one has posted him yet? What's wrong with you?

Did pinhead Italians also need to be lorded over?

kek

You guys love to get cucked by vatican, ofc you gonna stuck to the gregorian you pleb.
If not for year 0 to be our revolution everybody should have taken this calendar like everybody took metric system.

>not the Brits

Russians did most of the job, then the austrians, prussians and brits claimed the victory as their own.

Italians loved Napoleons

have you heard of the pope?

Russian did nothing except running away while we were freezing to death like stupid ass frogs.
10/10 move

It worked though

Damn, I knew the French were salty about us but I didn't realise it extended to complete delusion.

>Russians did most the job
>Fled and burned their own capital

What a job !

Kek

Fun fact: the years that Napoleon and Hitler invaded Russia were each one of the coldest winters on record

Scorched Earth had little to do with the cold.

We pulled the same shit here and it stopped you guys in your tracks.

In fact, the Russians used it against Napoleon because of how successful it was here (albeit in a smaller scale).

Being the best field general is worthless if nobody's fighting you in a field.

Same thing for guerrilhas, which contrary to popular belief had been used for ages (although the Spanish would coin them only a couple year after).

Shit excuse. The Russians even put on a fireplace for them to be warm.

Have you heard of Naples?

>french delusion

is right, most of the Russian generals wanted to face France in an open field battle but Barclay de Tolly knew that it would be a disaster for Russia. So he did everything to convince Alexander that a scorched earth tactic would be the best strategy while the other russian officers called him a coward.

If Alexander did not listen to him the 1812 campaign would have probably ended in a french victory.

Brits usually think they won this as much as amerifats think they won WW2 alone.
Can't deny you did a big part (trafalgar mostly) but you're the one dreaming if you think you won this by yourself.

General Winter will provide.

>"Bu... But muh wellington"

Russian weather machines son.

>Fled and burned their own capital
and takes your

We were the ones pulling the strings everywhere else though. That's how we won.

>Can't deny you did a big part (trafalgar mostly) but you're the one dreaming if you think you won this by yourself.
Literally no one thinks this, deal with your inferiority complex please.

Robespierre did absolutely nothing wrong.

see

I'm just fucking with you m8. Like he said, nobody actually believes that the Brits single handedly won the war. Don't try to pretend that Brits weren't a significant part of Napoopans defeat though.

>and Islam

"Religions are all founded on miracles — on things we cannot understand, such as the Trinity. Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and yet is descended from David. I prefer the religion of Mahomet — it is less ridiculous than ours.
"The Mohammedan religion is the finest of all"
"Muhammad was a great man, an intrepid soldier; with a handful of men he triumphed at the battle of Bender (sic); a great captain, eloquent, a great man of state, he revived his fatherland and created a new people and a new power in the middle of Arabia."
"Muhammad was a prince; he rallied his compatriots around him. In a few years, the Muslims conquered half of the world. They plucked more souls from false gods, knocked down more idols, razed more pagan temples in fifteen years than the followers of Moses and Jesus did in fifteen centuries. Muhammad was a great man. He would indeed have been a god, if the revolution that he had performed had not been prepared by the circumstances."

all quotes from napoleon

>their own capital
moscow wasn't capital in that time

>CockHole flag
Really makes you think.

> invade a backward, reactionary, ultra-religious country with the biggest fedora army of the world
> expect them to magically accept liberal democracy and hail the foreign ruler
> wtf guys, why are they going full insurgent on us? we brought them freedom and modernity and stuff
Napoleon made a mistake, it sometimes happens. The fact that the Soviets and Americans didn't learn the lesson is less forgivable.

>Don't try to pretend that Brits weren't a significant part of Napoopans defeat though.

>Can't deny you did a big part (trafalgar mostly)

Useful talent toi have (c)
>WE
You were a slave conscript at that war.

At least he died as a poor fellow countryman.

back to the thread

K A L L E

Napoleon was atheist. He just admired muhammad because they both were warlords

>200 years later the French are STILL butthurt

...

As the burger said, Napoleon had a huge hard on for the great conquerors of history.

Yeh but look at today. Only grandmas still believe in God and 90% of Spaniards are multicult cucks who feel massive guilt over Franco.

...

You should finally admit that anglos made a mistake and should've ally with Napoleon. He would've make Europe an ethernal empire and prevent WW1 and WW2. We would've conquer other planets right now.

>1000 years later the British are STILL butthurt

...

>all quotes from napoleon
All quotes in Egypt. All quotes that contradict what he said in Saint Helena.
Really makes you think.

>We were the ones pulling the strings everywhere else though. That's how we won.
But that's true and in no way equates to someone saying we won the war single-handedly.

Yes. He wasn't an atheist per se, he did have some belief in divine providence and an afterlife populated by the great heroes of history like Julius Caesar and Hannibal and Saladin and whatnot, more like the Greek Elysian Fields than the Christian Heaven.

>1017
>c. July – Cnut the Great, King of England, marries Emma of Normandy, widow of the penultimate monarch, Æthelred.[3]
>Cnut divides England into the four Earldoms of Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia and Northumbria.[3]
You're fucking right we're butthurt fucking Danes

this desu, the french were the good guys

>Takes your

True

Nice try Achmed

But Napoleon tortured the muzzies in Egypt and was a devout Catholic

...

>600 years later and the French are still butthurt

>incase
good taste

Anyway this guy was a fool to make himself an emperror, that's a shame. He should have brought the revolution as a dictator through Europe and kindly get his head chop off after that.

>Slaughter your own army and wonder why you lose.

>Wilhelm.
>Hitler.

He wasn't wrong. The problem is that most of the muslim world stagnated and stopped evolving somewhere around the 11th century. It made them relatively easy for the Turks and then western powers to conquer.

It's the first time I'm reading in testament, it's beautiful
