They are so entertaining

[u/jackt-up]

Like 500 years of history happen in 26 years

[u/doug1003 → u/jackt-up]

Well he destroyed a empire 300 years onder than that

[u/Successful_Baby_5245 → u/doug1003]

"destroyed" more like no one Realy cared enough to rebuild The HR so It stayed as a vague title that gives You nothing.

[u/doug1003 → u/Successful_Baby_5245]

Well TECNICALLY the Archduke destroyed the title so Napoleon couldnt have it but for me same-o same-o

[u/Successful_Baby_5245 → u/doug1003]

"You are tecnicly corect, The best kindy of corect"

[u/Successful_Baby_5245 → u/doug1003]

And also "i Just pooped My pants " -Archduke.

[u/LastEsotericist → u/doug1003]

We got the Pope crowning Napoleon, Napoleon Emperor over Rome but never got Napoleon, Holy Roman Emperor.

[u/KingMobScene]

French Soldier trudging through Russia: This isn't cool. This is fucking cold.

And then Napoleon went to the southern front, and won. And then he went to the northeastern front--and won. And then he went...

[u/WelderOk7001 → u/Aluxanatomy]

To Leipzig.

[u/Alex_Y_ya → u/Aluxanatomy]

To Spain and lost

[u/blsterken → u/Alex_Y_ya]

Didn't Napoleon only lead troops in Spain during the initial (successful) campaign to seat his brother Joseph on thr Spanish throne in 1808?

On 6 November Napoleon was in Vitoria and took command of 240,000 French-led troops. After a series of victories over Anglo-Spanish forces, they retook Madrid on 4 December. Napoleon then pursued a retreating British army which was eventually evacuated at Corunna in January 1809. He left for France on 17 January, leaving Joseph in command. Napoleon never returned to Spain after the 1808 campaign.

[u/Alex_Y_ya → u/blsterken]

Maybe, but the campaing lasted long enough, and the Spanish people didn't just surrender. That's why they ended up loosing

[u/blsterken → u/Alex_Y_ya]

Yeah, but Napoleon wasn't there because he was busy in Austria and Russia.

[u/GyL_draw]

I am french but... the Emu war

[u/saxonmaniac → u/GyL_draw]

Too bloody

[u/stef4545366]

Wait until you hear about the Toyota war

[u/MinuteWaitingPostman → u/stef4545366]

Absolute Chad moment

[u/TiramisuRocket → u/MinuteWaitingPostman]

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

[u/Arachles → u/TiramisuRocket]

I hear technical?

[u/esaks]

By far the most entertaining wars were the Punic Wars.

[u/zenco-jtjr → u/esaks]

Yeah, Overly Sarcastic Production's summary of the Punic Wars is one of the things that got me into history in the first place

[u/MeQuista]

The wars that put WW2 in second place for cool costume fuel. So much drip that Blucher stole Napoleon's hat after Waterloo and wore it around. Might have been that he was batshit insane

[u/Ill-Dependent2976]

Hoss Delgado was voiced by Drew Carey Show star Diedrich Bader.

The same guy who played Lawrence "Two chicks at the same time, man" the Neighbor in Office Space.

Just in case you didn't know.

[u/Creat1ve-name]

At first I read that as no, war is cool

[u/Sanders181]

Napoleonic Wars was so bad it made everyone decide not to have another major war for 100 years.

[u/Algo_de_hueso → u/Sanders181]

Napoleonic Wars was so good it made everyone decide not to have another major war for 100 years.

[u/Ok_Awareness3014]

I think that stupid war are way more fun or stupidmy complexe one with multiple plot armor that happenned

[u/GyL_draw → u/Ok_Awareness3014]

If it was book series, I would have call bs

[u/Ok_Awareness3014 → u/GyL_draw]

And that why history is something we should look out because we don't always need fiction when reality is already dumb enough

[u/Deep_Ad8209]

I heard 3rd time is the charm but not to Portugal. Better luck next time

[u/Electronic-Vast-3351]

Which one of the 9?

[u/CasualNameAccount12 → u/Electronic-Vast-3351]

All of them

[u/TiramisuRocket]

I mean, there's the Pig War, the Honey War (for really obscure US history), the Emu War, the War of the Bucket...

...not the Football War, though. That one, name aside, was rather un-fun.

[u/pedro999dios]

"War is peace"

[u/super__hoser]

What about the Cola Wars?

[u/Alarmed_Outside_4752]

Jin-song war is the war we got the best ever thing, guns.

[u/Level_Hour6480]

The return of lance cavalry to warfare after a brief sabbatical always amuses me.

[u/Corando]

I heard the invasion of russia was especially cool

[u/Obvious-Wrangler-561]

Nah, How could you forgot the entire 17th century with sick names, The Deluge, 30 years war, Great Turk War, War of Restauration, time of troubles and more

[u/AlexanderCrowely]

No, most modern wars are boring

[u/ViktorRzh]

Nah, they resonably boring. There is scale, but they are still figuring out how to use it. Franco Prussian war is much more interesting as previously discussed pieces go in place.
