Napoleon Was Unstoppable and We've Just Realised Why...

My brand new Substack, where the ideas go further than YouTube lets me take them: https://michaelbutton.substack.com/ Napoleon is often remembered as a military genius. But was his success really about genius alone? In this video, we explore the deeper pattern behind Napoleon's victories, and why historians increasingly see his rise as the product of a revolution in warfare rather than a single extraordinary man. From the French Revolution to mass mobilisation, corps warfare, and the changing nature of conflict, this is the story of why Napoleon seemed unstoppable... and what history teaches us about periods of rapid military change.
