The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in Flags: Every Other Day
This video shows the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars in flags, every other day, from 20 April, 1792 to 20 November, 1815.
Notes:
Flags without a specific date as to when they were adopted are assumed to be 1 January of that year.
The British occupation of Sardinia should've ended earlier than what was shown
Wrong Lucca flag
Helvetic and Batavian Republics shown for too long, should be Kingdom of Holland and the Swiss Confederation
Free City of Danzig should've been seperate from the Duchy of Warsaw

@@_unkown8652 They didn’t all lose tbf. France won the war of the first, second, third, fourth and narrowly fifth coalitions (I say narrow because it all came down to Wagram after the defeat at Aspern). But the coalition forces won the Egyptian campaign, Peninsula War, 1812 invasion of Russia, War of the sixth coalition and war of the seventh coalition. So, in total, that’s 5 wins for France and 5 wins for France’s enemies.

How insulting it must be to be a citizen of such a miserable country, which throughout history has been divided territorially by other countries. Poland disappeared from the maps of the world in 1795, only to reappear in 1918 and be re-divided in 1939, what a miserable fate. The universe does not want your country to have sovereignty.

I find it funny how despite it being in civil unrest, France won it's early conflicts anyway
Yeah despite the civil war they already were kicking coalition butts like at the battle of Fleurus.
It was the good side of the revolution
Even with civil unrest French soldiers fought in this battles with fighting for motherland mentality which gave theme a lot of morale boost while enemy soldiers fought with fighting for king mentality. Morale is really important in wars,your soldiers must have reasons to die or else they will prefer not to and will not organize properly or run away
Imagine facing off a country bankrupted, in civil war, alongside with all a continents and still losing.

@@anto-sk4ce "Sure he was a French-Nationalistic-Tyrant that forcibly tried to conquer most of Europe, but at least he spread arbitrary ideas of revolution". Look at the USA or UK's glorious revolution 150 years prior and you'll see who actually spread the revolution. Napoleon was just a dictator nationalistic tyrant, who was born in a noble family that used the brutal revolution that killed many within France because "monarchy bad". Yet he declared himself a Monarch, like what? Napoleon was a strategic mastermind, but that's all he has going for him. He still brought Europe into chaos that it didn't need to be in.
@@learningagain4094 britain wanted to keep absolutism during revolutionary and napoleonic wars, and america was isolated from europe so none of them wanted to spread revolutionary ideals, they just had kind of revolutionary ideals but england was like an ancien regime monarchy and his monarchy probably is a bit old
@@anto-sk4ce Britain's monarchy had little to no power during the Napoleonic wars. Everything went through Parliament. Britain was so impressive because it managed to have a revolution without abolishing the monarchy and without bloodshed. America did get their revolution through warfare, aided by France (which probably helped encourage revolt within France). France was absolutist though. Napoleon was an Absolute Monarch, everything he said was certain. Though I suppose he was more of a militaristic dictator. Napoleon was impressive and a tactical mastermind, but in reality that doesn't make him good or his cause good. Because he tried to turn Europe into Greater France.

So lovely seeing another of these perfect videos. Keep up the good work!
Great video, this French Revolution/Empire period is insane.
fun fact, before joining France, Denmark was neutral and wanted to stay that way, they joined the French side after the Brits bombed Copenhagen without declaring war, the British after bombing our capital took our ships, they did that bc they where afraid it would fall into France hands, in Denmark its counted as the first terrorist attack in Europe, after the war Denmark got punished and Norway was given to Sweden, cuz how DARE Denmark join France.... I wonder why. (Edit for some extra fun info) after the Napoleonic war Denmark has to war with Prussia (Prussia is the predecessor state to Germany) and Austria, the wars where fought for two duchies called Slesvig-Holsten (Danish name) some of this land is part of modern day Denmark, losing all of this land in a span of less then 100 years literally gave our country and culture trauma, we literally got cultural trauma from it lol.

Well the goal was kind of to invade portugal, and on the way replace the spanish king (who was from the french royal familly's tree anyway) by someone of his familly. The goal was not to invade spain, but to put someone he would be sure of at the head of spain. And since the guy ruling spain was notoriously a bad ruler, and from a french familly anyway...
The fact that you guys were ok with that just shows your true colors. In reality it were the portuguese later that saved Spain, with an army of British and portuguese from wellington. More than 20 thousand portuguese fought in Victoria battle in the basque country in North of Spain, only around 3 thousand were Spanish... You should thank us, for that, liberating Spain from napoleon, and for many other battles.

The fact that in the very start, Republic France was fighting for its existence, and then started to fight for dominance, having sucess in garanting the existence, and losing to extreme exhaustion against Russia in expansion, shows how napoleon is an damn genius
Good Simulation. There are minor mistakes I want to point out: War of the Second Coalition: 1. Great Britain invaded the Spanish island of Menorca on November 7-15, 1798 and should be shaded the flag of Great Britain until the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. 2. From June 20, 1799, the Piedmontese Republic ceased to exist when it was conquered by Austro-Russian troops immediately after the Battle of Trebbia (1799) and the capture of Turin. It should be shaded under Austria flag. Exactly a year later, after the Battle of Marengo, it should renamed the Subalpine Republic. War of the Sixth Coalition: 1. Prussia signed the Convention of Tauroggen with the Russians on December 30, 1812, so Prussia should be grey in color from that date. 2. Austria signed an armistice with the Russians on January 30, 1813, and Austria should turn grey from that date. 3. Although Sweden entered into an alliance with the United Kingdom on March 3, 1813, it did not declare war until March 24, 1813, so it should be in grey in color until that date. 4. From January 14, 1814, Denmark should be on the side of the Coalition after signing the Trety of Kiel with the United Kingdom, while Norway joins Sweden, and Swedish Pomeranian should be assigned to Denmark. It should have Union of Norway and Sweden flag from that date.
Along with the partition of poland borders which he messed up, both austria, prussia and russia occupied but it only shows Russia conquering all of poland, which is not near true.
nerd
Why is this so scarily accurate
That’s great that u know this but seeing how all the border changes and having to take time to search all this up make sure it’s accurate find the flags and HRE just being a mess then finding all the exact dates of hundreds of events bc dude had all the dates from January to December for abt 20 years give or take that’s thousands of days, then had to find the borders of who invaded who and what date like not everybody is gonna make sure it’s pitch perfect asking as it’s 80percent accurate isn’t that good enough atleast it’s good enough for ur history teacher to give u an A
also swiss Mediation is missing and spain was a puppet state too and shouldnt have the french flag
Thanks this was useful :)
Napoleon in 1812:Finally! I can invade russia Napoleon in 1815:AAAAAAA I In Pain
Napoleon never had the will to invade Russia. He had to because Russia did not comply with the Continental System and regrouped 300 000 men in the view to invade the Duchy of Warsaw, which was under French protection.
@@christopheripoll2580 Theres no such thing as 'had to' He shouldve dropped his 'continental nonsense' a long time ago, even before that, with Spain. It wasnt working anyway And shouldnt have reestablished Poland, yeah. That was just like adding insult to injury.

Came for the mapping stayed for the amazing music
Same lol
Seeing Poland-Lithuania get swallowed up at the start for being a republic was sad.
It's funny how Denmark was the only loyal allie of France
You can't see it on the map but Poles also stood with Napoleon to the end (some even accompanied him during his exile). Excluding the ones that were send to end the rebellion in Haiti, which switched sides and joined the rebels because they felt betrayed by the emperor because of this.
Can't really say it's being loyal, they were literally attacked and raided by Britain twice before they entered the war, you can even see it on the map in the video, Britain being shown as occupying Zealand right when they enter. I don't even think they were officially allied, but they needed an excuse to take land from them.
you mean after britain blew up kopenhagen a couple of times i wonder why
Good work.

Great video but just a small detail: during the Russian invasion, considering the garrisons Napoleon left behind (notably to secure his flanks) I have a hard time believing the french-controlled territory was so thin (I expected the western part before Smolesnk to be larger). But maybe that's just me.
The main goal of battles then and especially with Napoleon v Russia was to take major cities NOT the most land as the army was no where big enough so they just moved in and secured supply routes
@@xrvenomgamer3561 Yeah but to secure that supply route, especially the flanks, there were garrisons in multiple cities rather far from each other and which didn't form a straight line (unless it was short enough) . I know it was almost straight line from Smolensk to Moscou, but not before Smolensk. That's why I'm surprised.
@@xenotypos not rlly, Napoleon's army lived from the land, they didn't has large supply lines, they took the supplies from wherever they're passing through, that's why Russia's scorched land tactics were so effective.
I might be a bit late but as u saw napoleon didn't annex many countries he mostly made puppet states and for that he only needed to take down the government and armys moreover the Russian campaign was never thought to last when napoleon gathered 600 000 troups of all sorts of ethnicity on like august. He thought and said the campaign would be done in 3 months and everyone would get back home soon. One big win as usual and done. The Russian army fled and that's why he got to moscow
@@petersylvester23 yeah but didn't they have to use supply lines during the Russian invasion as a response to the scorched tactic? Which slowed down the usually fast Napoleon's army, contributing to their eventual defeat

When Napoleon dissolved the Papal States, the Roman Republic became a client state. Rome and surrounding Italian territory became part of it.
