Durante la invasión de Rusia en 1812, el ejército de Napoleón enfrentó múltiples adversidades, entre ellas, un factor químico poco conocido: la desintegración de los botones de sus uniformes. Con temperaturas que alcanzaron hasta -30 °C, los botones se desintegraron, dejando a los soldados incapaces de abrochar sus abrigos y exponiéndolos al gélido clima ruso. Esta situación agravó la ya precaria condición de las tropas, contribuyendo significativamente a la derrota de la Grande Armée en territorio ruso.

This chapter begins to highlight the optimism of the Coalition approaching the Battle of Austerlitz. We also experience a rare crossing of the major characters, Nicholas and Andrei. While Nicholas was riding with the Pavlograd Hussars, Boris was serving more comfortably with the Imperial Guard, accompanying Czar Alexander as he traveled toward Olmütz, Moravia, a mostly German speaking enclave of the Holy Roman Empire that sits along a tributary of the Danube River. The allies were uniting in their largest numbers with plans to square off against Napoleon's Grande Armée.   Kutúzov's forces already reached Olmütz while the Guards were stationed 10 miles away.  All units were preparing to be reviewed by Emperors Alexander and Francis II.   Nicholas receives a note from Boris, informing him that Boris arrived with the letter and money from his family. Nicholas was elated as he was dire need of funds and set off at once to find his childhood friend. Rostov's unit was no longer on the run, so his camp swarmed with sutlers (civilian merchants). The Hussars held feast after feast, celebrating and receiving honors. Nicholas attained a promotion to cornet, a relatively low officer's rank.  He also had to buy Denisov's horse, “Bedouin,” after his trusty “Rook” fell in battle. With such expenses, he was in serious debt.  Nicolas is over asking himself – Why am I Here? The morale of his unit infused him with a proud spirit, as he never obtained any personal glory. Nevertheless, he proudly dons his crumpled hussar cap and shabby cadet jacket.  He wishes to appear more seasoned than anyone he will come across.   Commanded by Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, the Imperial Guards made their march west as if on a pleasure trip, with knapsacks on carts and the finest of provisions from Austria. While supplies to Russia's fighting regiments was notoriously poor, the Austrian authorities made sure the Imperial Guard and Emperor were well taken care of.  Everywhere they stopped, bands and fanfare welcomed them and a grand ball was organized.   Boris had marched along and been quartered with Berg, who was promoted to Captain, mostly for competently arranging financial matters. Berg was rising in accord with his ambition.  Boris also had his eyes on advancement, making acquaintance of many of influence. He received a letter of recommendation from Pierre and become acquainted with Andrei, through whom he hoped to gain a post on Kutuzov's staff. Nicholas finds Boris & Berg sitting, clean and neatly dressed, at a table in tidy quarters, playing chess. Nicholas enthusiastically greats them and imitates their old Nurse's mangled French, saying “Petisenfans, allay cushay dormir!” Meaning, Oh children, go to sleep. All can immediately spot how much each has changed. They had not met for half a year and each young man had taken such important steps along life's Road.  Boris rose to meet his old friend and Nicholas initially resisted because he wanted to roughhouse with Boris. Still, Boris acted in accord with etiquette , embracing Nicholas and kissing him three times. They then boisterously exchanged greetings and took notice of the attractive German land-lady. Nicholas points out how both his friend had become dandies.  Soon they ordered wine. Boris soon asks Nicholas about his experiences and if he has been under fire. Without speaking, Nicholas smiled and shook the cross of St. George fastened to his uniform and showcased his  bandaged arm. The background of this award is significant as St. George (of Cappadocian Greek origin) was a 4th Century Roman Soldier who converted to Christianity and was martyred when he would not recant his faith.  There is also a legend he slayed a dragon when a lovely princess was going to be sacrificed to the beast. Paintings and awards often depict his symbolic victory over evil. The figure and tale holds immense significance in Russian history.

In the sixth and final installment on the French Revolution, Dan takes a deep dive into one of history's most influential and controversial figures: Napoleon Bonaparte. After winning victory for France in Northern Italy, the brilliant young general has the attention of the French Directory. A campaign in Egypt and victory in another war will put Napoleon in a position to become Emperor. But across the English Channel, Great Britain continues a naval blockade and a diplomatic campaign to unite Europe against the new French Empire. To hold onto power, Napoleon will battle a series of coalitions, each time hoping it will be the last. Win or lose, one thing is certain: Europe – and the world – will never be the same.

S'il a disparu depuis, remplacé par la Journée Défense et Citoyenneté (JDC), la question de de son retour continue d'interroger. Pour revenir sur l'histoire du service militaire, Virginie Girod reçoit David Chanteranne, historien spécialiste de Napoléon. Sous l'Ancien Régime, "il n'y a pas cette idée de conscription, de faire un appel sous les drapeaux de l'ensemble d'une génération. On fait davantage appel à des mercenaires" précise l'historien. Les armées sont engagées en fonction des besoins et des guerres que l'on entreprend. La Révolution française est un tournant La France, menacée de toutes parts par les monarchies européennes, doit défendre son territoire. "On a besoin de troupes et on va donc recourir au tirage au sort pour désigner les conscrits" raconte David Chanteranne. Après l'appel à "la patrie en danger" en 1792, c'est la loi Jourdan-Delbrel de 1798 qui fonde véritablement le service militaire. "Cette loi est d'abord faite pour compenser la diminution du nombre d'engagés volontaires après la chute de Robespierre" explique David Chanteranne "quel que soit votre condition à 18 ans, vous êtes appelé. À 20 ans vous devez vous engager sous les drapeaux pour servir. La loi met en place 5 ans de service. En fonction des besoins, on pioche dans ce contingent militaire très important. C'est l'idée que par la masse, on peut repousser l'adversaire". La mesure rencontre parfois une opposition farouche : "il va y avoir énormément de déserteurs et de personnes qui vont chercher à passer outre cet appel". La loi va ensuite évoluer au fil des siècles. En 1813, avec le désastre de la campagne de Russie qui a décimé la Grande Armée, la conscription est étendue aux jeunes de moins de 20 ans : "ce sont les fameux Marie-Louise, du nom de l'impératrice qui signe le décret" ! À l'aube du XXème siècle et de la Première Guerre mondiale, les besoins en hommes se font plus importants et la loi de 1905 créée véritablement le service militaire universel en supprimant les tirages au sort et les dispenses. La fin du service militaire en 1997 répond à une nécessité de professionnalisation explique David Chanteranne : "il faut être plus efficace parce que la technologie l'exige et il faut utiliser les forces vives pour autre chose". Mais le dispositif n'est pas supprimé ! Il est seulement suspendu. "La suspension permet justement, en cas d'évolution de simplement tout remettre en place" souligne l'historien.

El 9 de noviembre de 1799 (18 del mes de brumario según el calendario republicano) tres hombres: Emmanuel Sieyès, Roger Ducos y Napoleón Bonaparte, se hicieron con el poder en Francia mediante un golpe de Estado que ponía fin al periodo del Directorio, un sistema que había nacido cuatro años antes tras la reacción termidoriana. Napoléon era el más joven y el único que tenía mando sobre tropas. Su prestigio era muy grande. Venía de vencer en Italia y en Egipto y contaba con grandes apoyos en París donde su hermano Luciano se había hecho con la presidencia del Consejo de los Quinientos. Del golpe del 18 de brumario surgió un nuevo sistema que bautizaron como Consulado. Tres cónsules gobernarían de forma colegiada bajo una nueva constitución. Pero pronto Napoleón se impuso a los otros dos, los apartó y se encargó de redactar la llamada constitución del año VIII. Durante cuatro años ejercería como primer cónsul, al principio de forma temporal, luego vitalicia tras conseguir una paz muy ventajosa en Lunéville y Amiens con austriacos y británicos. En 1804 para consolidar y expandir su poder decidió coronarse emperador en una aparatosa ceremonia en la catedral de Notre Dame. Todo el poder, ya sin cortapisas, era suyo. Se cerraba de este modo la revolución francesa que había empezado quince años antes con el juramento del Juego de Pelota en Versalles durante la reunión de los Estados Generales. Francia regresaba a la monarquía, pero con una nueva dinastía que reclamaba su legitimidad en la propia revolución. La guerra volvió pronto al continente. Se formó una coalición contra Francia, la tercera, a la que Napoleón venció en el continente en la batalla de Austerlitz, pero fue derrotado en el mar en la batalla de Trafalgar. Esta guerra supuso la disolución del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico tras mil años de historia. En 1806, la cuarta coalición se levantó en armas contra él. Napoleón derrotó a Prusia en las batallas de Jena y Auerstedt, envió a su ejército a Europa del este y derrotó a los rusos en la batalla de Friedland, obligando a las potencias derrotadas a aceptar los duros términos del tratado de Tilsit. Dos años más tarde, los austriacos le desafiaron de nuevo en la guerra de la quinta Coalición, pero Napoleón volvió a imponerse en la Batalla de Wagram. La suerte le sonreía en el continente, pero Gran Bretaña, que dominaba el mar, le era esquiva. Para obligar a los británicos a negociar en 1808 invadió la península Ibérica, derrocó a Carlos IV y puso en el trono español a su hermano José. Españoles y portugueses se rebelaron. Los británicos corrieron en su ayuda y se le abrió un frente en el sudoeste de Europa que duraría varios años. El descalabro en España preludiaría su derrota en Rusia. En 1812 envió un gran ejército, la Grande Armée, para someter al zar, pero fracasó. Tras ello se formó la sexta coalición que venció a los franceses en la batalla de Leipzig. La coalición invadió Francia y ocupó París obligando a Napoleón a abdicar en abril de 1814. Le forzaron a exiliarse en la isla de Elba, junto a las costas de la Toscana, pero se las arregló para escapar un año después. Retomó el control y los aliados respondieron formando una séptima coalición que derrotó al último ejército napoleónico en la batalla de Waterloo en junio de 1815. Tras ello los británicos le enviaron a la remota isla de Santa Elena, en el Atlántico sur, donde moriría en 1821 a los 51 años. El impacto de Napoleón y las guerras que provocó en Europa durante tres lustros fue muy duradero. Obligó a las potencias a buscar un concierto estable en el Congreso de Viena. En los países que había ocupado nada volvería a ser igual. Las tropas napoleónicas habían exportado la revolución por toda Europa, algo que tendría consecuencias muy serias en las décadas siguientes. En Francia introdujo numerosas reformas legales y administrativas muchas de las cuales han pervivido hasta nuestro tiempo.

La richesse des formes de l'infographie, alliant récit et modélisation des données historiques, permet de renouveler en profondeur l'histoire de l'empire napoléonien. C'est le pari des auteurs de ce livre conjuguant la finesse d'analyse de Frédéric Bey et Vincent Haegele au talent du data designer Nicolas Guillerat. À travers une nouvelle narration aussi ludique qu'esthétique mêlant considérations globales et singulières, concepts et émotions, c'est toute la complexité d'une période fascinante qui est restituée. L'Empire français et ses caractéristiques politiques, économiques et territoriales, la Grande Armée ou la marine impériale et leurs ennemis, les guerres et les coalitions, l'action et le poids de Napoléon, la chute de l'Empire et son bilan, autant de sujets que cette approche aussi rigoureuse qu'originale espère mettre en lumière grâce au supplément de sens porté par l'infographie. Frédéric Bey est notre invité sur Xpresso, il était en direct sur Twitch, où les auditeurs pouvaient poser leurs questions.

Der Film „Napoleon“ von Ridley Scott hat international für Aufsehen gesorgt. Oscarpreisträger Joaquin Phoenix spielt den gebürtigen Korsen und späteren Kaiser der Franzosen zwar eindrucksvoll, aber ist seine Darstellung auch historisch korrekt? In dieser „Zugehört“-Folge vergleichen wir die militärhistorische Person Napoleons als Feldherren mit dessen Inszenierung auf der Leinwand. Napoleon in der Geschichtsschreibung und im Kino: Feldherr, Filmstar, oder beides? Die Rolle von Napoleon Bonaparte in der Geschichte als Staatenlenker, Tyrann oder Führer der „Grande Armée“ ist umstritten. Ebenso seine cineastische Verkörperung von militärischer Genialität, politischer Raffinesse, verzehrender Liebe nach Josephine und roher Gewalt gegen seine Gegner. Nachdem das neue Werk von Ridley Scott viele Filmkritiker zu Diskussionen anreget hat, widmet sich unsere „Zugehört“-Folge aus militärhistorischer Perspektive dieser Kontroverse. Die Darstellung und die WahrheitNapoleon führte seine Truppen laut Abspann von Scotts Werk durch 61 Schlachten, darunter die denkwürdigsten und folgereichsten der europäischen Geschichte. Auf der einen Seite stehen Napoleons historische Siege, wie in der Schlacht von Austerlitz als „Schlacht der drei Kaiser“ gegen Österreich und Russland, aber auch Niederlagen wie bei der Leipziger „Völkerschlacht“ von 1813 die zu seinem Untergang und Verbannung führte. Während Leipzig nicht einmal mit einer Kurzszene von Regisseur Ridley Scott auf der Leinwand gewürdigt wird, inszeniert der Brite Austerlitz nahezu episch mit ikonischen Momenten. Aber hat sich die Schlacht aus dem Jahr 1805 so zugetragen wie dargestellt? Fragen aus Potsdam, Antworten aus DresdenFragen dieser Art beantwortet Dr. Gerhard Bauer aus dem Militärhistorischen Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden. Gerhard Bauer ist Wissenschaftlicher Oberrat und derzeit kommissarischer Leiter des Museumsbetriebes sowie wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Sachgebiets Uniformen und Feldzeichen. Er unterhält sich mit Major Michael Gutzeit, dem Leiter der Informationsarbeit des Zentrums für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr in Potsdam. Vom Aufstieg in Zuge der Französischen Revolution bis zur verheerenden Russland-Kampagne und letztendlichen Niederlage bei Waterloo: Beide Gesprächspartner erkunden gemeinsam Napoleons Wendepunkte und sein Schicksal - auf der Leinwand und in der Geschichte.

pWotD Episode 2398: Napoleon Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 263,914 views on Saturday, 25 November 2023 our article of the day is Napoleon.Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone Buonaparte; 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821), later known by his regnal name Napoleon I, was a French emperor and military commander who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804, then of the French Empire as Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and briefly again in 1815. His political and cultural legacy endures as a celebrated and controversial leader. He initiated many enduring reforms, but has been criticized for his authoritarian rule. He is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history and his wars and campaigns are still studied at military schools worldwide. However, historians still debate whether he was responsible for the Napoleonic Wars in which between three and six million people died. Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica into a family descended from Italian nobility. He was resentful of the French monarchy, and supported the French Revolution in 1789 while serving in the French army, trying to spread its ideals to his native Corsica. He rose rapidly in the ranks after saving the governing French Directory by firing on royalist insurgents. In 1796, he began a military campaign against the Austrians and their Italian allies, scoring decisive victories, and became a national hero. Two years later he led a military expedition to Egypt that served as a springboard to political power. He engineered a coup in November 1799 and became First Consul of the Republic. In 1804, to consolidate and expand his power, he crowned himself Emperor of the French.Differences with the United Kingdom meant France faced the War of the Third Coalition by 1805. Napoleon shattered this coalition with victories in the Ulm campaign and at the Battle of Austerlitz, which led to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1806, the Fourth Coalition took up arms against him. Napoleon defeated Prussia at the battles of Jena and Auerstedt, marched the Grande Armée into Eastern Europe, and defeated the Russians in June 1807 at Friedland, forcing the defeated nations of the Fourth Coalition to accept the Treaties of Tilsit. Two years later, the Austrians challenged the French again during the War of the Fifth Coalition, but Napoleon solidified his grip over Europe after triumphing at the Battle of Wagram.Hoping to extend the Continental System, his embargo against Britain, Napoleon invaded the Iberian Peninsula and declared his brother Joseph the King of Spain in 1808. The Spanish and the Portuguese revolted in the Peninsular War aided by a British army, culminating in defeat for Napoleon's marshals. Napoleon launched an invasion of Russia in the summer of 1812. The resulting campaign witnessed the catastrophic retreat of Napoleon's Grande Armée. In 1813, Prussia and Austria joined Russian forces in a Sixth Coalition against France, resulting in a large coalition army defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig. The coalition invaded France and captured Paris, forcing Napoleon to abdicate in April 1814. He was exiled to the island of Elba, between Corsica and Italy. In France, the Bourbons were restored to power.Napoleon escaped in February 1815 and took control of France. The Allies responded by forming a Seventh Coalition, which defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. The British exiled him to the remote island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic, where he died in 1821 at the age of 51.Napoleon had a lasting impact on the world, bringing modernizing reforms to France and Western Europe and stimulating the development of nation states. He also sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States in 1803, doubling the size of the United States. However, his mixed record on civil rights and exploitation of conquered territories adversely affect his reputation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Sunday, 26 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Napoleon on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aria Neural.

Introducción: En la historia militar europea, pocos eventos han tenido un impacto tan significativo como la Batalla de Jena y la posterior caída de Prusia ante las fuerzas de Napoleón Bonaparte. Este enfrentamiento épico, que tuvo lugar el 14 de octubre de 1806, marcó un punto de inflexión en el poderío militar prusiano y consolidó el dominio de Napoleón en Europa. A través de una combinación de estrategia magistral, innovación táctica y un ejército disciplinado, el emperador francés logró una victoria decisiva que cambiaría el curso de la historia. Contexto histórico: En el escenario político de principios del siglo XIX, Prusia emergió como una potencia militar en Europa. Sin embargo, su tradicionalismo y falta de adaptación a las tácticas modernas la dejaron rezagada frente al genio militar de Napoleón y su eficiente ejército francés. Animado por la expansión territorial y el deseo de unificar Europa bajo su influencia, Napoleón dirigió su mirada hacia el este, con Prusia como objetivo clave. Desarrollo de la Batalla: La Batalla de Jena se llevó a cabo en los campos cerca de las ciudades de Jena y Auerstedt. Las fuerzas prusianas, bajo el mando del rey Federico Guillermo III, confiaban en su superioridad numérica y en las tácticas tradicionales de batalla. Sin embargo, Napoleón aprovechó la superioridad táctica de sus tropas y su dominio de la estrategia militar moderna para desbaratar los planes prusianos. Mediante la audaz maniobra conocida como "envelopamiento", Napoleón envió una parte de sus tropas a rodear al enemigo, mientras que otra se enfrentaba frontalmente al ejército prusiano. La coordinación y la disciplina de las tropas francesas, junto con el uso eficiente de la artillería, desencadenaron una debacle para los prusianos. A pesar de la resistencia ofrecida por algunos destacamentos prusianos, la superioridad táctica y la cohesión del ejército francés fueron determinantes. Consecuencias y la Caída de Prusia: La Batalla de Jena resultó en una aplastante derrota para Prusia. Las consecuencias fueron devastadoras: la desorganización del ejército prusiano, la pérdida de territorios y el colapso del sistema político prusiano. Las tropas francesas avanzaron rápidamente y ocuparon Berlín, humillando al rey prusiano y obligándolo a huir. La caída de Prusia ante Napoleón tuvo un impacto profundo en la estructura política de Europa. La hegemonía prusiana fue reemplazada por la influencia francesa, y Napoleón impuso reformas radicales en el sistema político, legal y administrativo prusiano. Estas reformas sentaron las bases para la modernización de Prusia y su posterior resurgimiento como una potencia en el siglo XIX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

December 2nd 1804, Napoléon Bonaparte is crowned Emperor of the French. Over the next decade, he will keep reforming and modernizing France, but he will also fight the rest of Europe. He will become master of the continent, defeating all his enemies on land, only to go too far and to see Europe strike back at him and at France.This is the second part of Napoléon's great adventure. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to listen to the first part as well as to my episode on the French Revolution. Let us follow Napoléon and the Grande Armée on the battlefields of Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain and France. And then we will land on a tiny island, on the middle of the Atlantic.

In January of 1807, Napoleon ordered his men to make winter quarters and turned his attention to an exciting, but dangerous new mistress with a hidden agenda. But before the month was over, fate would draw the Grande Armée back out on campaign.

Andrea Dematteis"Il cavaliere di Hèdonville"Fusta Editorehttps://www.fustaeditore.it/Undici lettere scritte nella suggestiva grafia dei tempi andati, tra macchie di inchiostro e aloni bruni lungo le piegature. Ritrovate, con il mistero che celavano, sotto due secoli di polvere nel solaio di una vecchia casa.Lettere scritte dal fronte di guerre terrificanti, che un ignoto antenato, Giacomo Giacosa (Jacques), inviò alla giovanissima moglie Catterina (Cati) e al figlio Giuseppe, nato dopo la sua partenza.Jacques, che era piemontese, di Savigliano, fu arruolato da Napoleone nel 1803 e prese parte alle campagne decennali della Grande Armée, uno dei più poderosi eserciti della storia.Fu dichiarato morto in battaglia, a Toulouse, nel 1814. Ma proprio lì sta il mistero: stralci di una corrispondenza tenuta dal figlio mezzo secolo più tardi riferirono un segreto oscuro, ignorato per decenni. Ne emerse un dubbio atroce sulla sorte del padre, tuttora aperto perché i documenti rinvenuti nel solaio non rivelano se si scoprì la verità: Jacques sopravvisse alla guerra? E perché non fece ritorno?Di fronte a un enigma così toccante si avverte una spinta ad indagare e le ricerche condotte dall'autore, a Parigi e negli archivi piemontesi, forniscono riscontri convincenti per far luce sul mistero. Emergono i contorni di una vicenda davvero eccezionale, ricca di suggestioni: l'amore romantico che lega Jacques e Cati si scontra inesorabilmente con i complotti e con la guerra, in un crescente intreccio tra la Francia attraversata dagli ideali della Rivoluzione e il vecchio Piemonte nostalgico dell'ancien règime. Una vicenda che coinvolge in prima persona i grandi del periodo – Napoleone, Maria Luisa d'Austria, lo scaltro Talleyrand, Wellington – in un appassionante susseguirsi di intrighi e colpi di scena, che assume i contorni di un'incalzante spy story e tiene il lettore sul filo della tensione. Andrea Dematteis è nato a Torino nel 1965. Ha cinque figli e vive con la moglie Enrica sulle Alpi piemontesi, in Valle Varaita. Laurea in Medicina Veterinaria e Dottorato di ricerca in indirizzo ecologico, al termine di un intenso decennio dedicato alla professione di campo, nel 2002 assume la direzione di un Centro Ricerche universitario sulla gestione ambientale, promuovendo progetti di sviluppo sostenibile, in Italia e all'Estero.Docente di Ecologia presso l'Ateneo torinese per oltre vent'anni, ha pubblicato studi monografici e numerosi articoli scientifici attinenti al settore.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Dans Historiquement Vôtre, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach vous raconte le destin post-mortem d'un insurgé royaliste breton. Le 25 juin 1804, le général chouan Georges Cadoudal (1771-1804) est exécuté en place de Grève, à Paris. La dépouille de ce colosse au cou de taureau aurait ensuite été réduite à l'état de squelette et conservée par Dominique-Jean Larrey, le médecin de la Grande Armée, jusqu'à ce que la Restauration ne s'en mêle.

Le Maréchal Lannes n'a pas seulement été l'un des soldats les plus efficaces de la Grande Armée, il fut aussi le meilleur ami de Napoléon Ier. Sa mort tragique, à Essling, marque un tournant de la saga impériale.

Hey Identifier, #kanyewest #whitelivesmatter #coon PARIS — Yeezy is dead. Long live YZY. Stage three of the ambitions of Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — to dress the world has begun. Presumably that was supposed to be the takeaway from the surprise show of Paris Fashion Week, held off-schedule in an empty office tower just down the road from the Arc de Triomphe. Though it turned out to be only nominally a fashion show and more like “The YZY Experience”: a chaotic mess of self-justification, confessional, bone-picking and messianic ambition, with a “White Lives Matter” shot of shock and provocation that overshadowed the clothes on the runway. The rumors began during the weekend, just a day or so before the Balenciaga mud show. Ye was in Paris and was going to stage a fashion show — a little more than two weeks after ending his much-ballyhooed partnership with Gap. Maybe it would happen Monday? Maybe not; Ye had just fired his PR agency. No wait, it was happening; he had found another agency. Then, Sunday night, a digital invite arrived. For the next evening. Guests were asked not to share the address. Monday at 5:45 p.m., the Avenue de la Grande Armée was heaving with screaming fans and photographers. So much for secrecy. They outnumbered the show's actual attendees by what seemed like 100 to one. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/04/style/yeezy-kanye-west-paris-fashion-week.html Leave us a Voice Mail or Support https://anchor.fm/the-identity-booth/message https://anchor.fm/the-identity-booth/support Sub to the channel here https://www.twitch.tv/theidentitybooth Donate https://streamlabs.com/projecteto/tip The Goal: Try to Identify with you as you try to identify with me.

Every Russian knows him purely by his patronym. He was the general who triumphed over Napoleon's Grande Armée during the Patriotic War of 1812, not merely restoring national pride but securing national identity. Many Russians consider Field Marshal Mikhail Illarionovich Golenischev-Kutuzov the greatest figure of the 19th century, ahead of Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, even Tolstoy himself. Immediately after his death in 1813, Kutuzov's remains were hurried into the pantheon of heroes. Statues of him rose up across the Russian empire and later the Soviet Union. Over the course of decades and centuries he hardened into legend. As award-winning author Alexander Mikaberidze shows in Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace (Oxford UP, 2022), Kutuzov's story is far more compelling and complex than the myths that have encased him. An unabashed imperialist who rose in the ranks through his victories over the Turks and the Poles, Kutuzov was also a realist and a skeptic about military power. When the Russians and their allies were routed by the French at Austerlitz he was openly appalled by the incompetence of leadership and the sheer waste of life. Over his long career--marked equally by victory and defeat, embrace and ostracism--he grew to despise those whose concept of war had devolved to mindless attack. Here, at last, is Kutuzov as he really was--a master and survivor of intrigue, moving in and out of royal favor, committed to the welfare of those under his command, and an innovative strategist. When, reluctantly and at the 11th hour, Czar Alexander I called upon him to lead the fight against Napoleon's invading army, Kutuzov accomplished what needed to be done not by a heroic charge but by a strategic retreat. Across the generations, portraits of Kutuzov have ranged from hagiography to dismissal, with Tolstoy's portrait of him in War and Peace perhaps the most indelible of all.

REDIFF - À l'été 1812, l'empereur des Français se présente sur les rives du Niémen, à la tête de 680.000 hommes, la plus grande armée jamais levée. Après le brasier de Moscou, la Grande Armée sombre dans un enfer de glace. Le thermomètre chute jusqu'à - 30°, comme à Smolensk. Le froid colle les lèvres et gèle les membres. Celui qui s'assoupit ne se réveille pas. La faim tenaille les ventres. Les plus désespérés se livrent au cannibalisme. C'est l'horreur absolue.

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars profoundly affected all of Europe and became watersheds in the history of strategy. Until then, French thinking on war had dominated European discourse for a good two centuries, even though the word ‘strategy' had not yet been imported into European languages from the Greek. Crucial among the French thinkers of this period was Comte de Guibert (1743–1790), who has been called the prophet of the wars of the French Revolution, foreseeing the transformation of war into the people's cause, rather than merely that of their monarchs. In a republican spirit, Guibert dedicated his first work, the General Essay on Tactics, ‘to my fatherland' – reason enough to publish it anonymously, even though he noted that the king was part of his fatherland! Guibert – like Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz – changed some of his fundamental views during his lifetime. In his youth, Guibert wrote what would become a bestseller throughout the Western world, in which he made the case for an army of citizen-soldiers who would be unbeatable. However, after fighting in the French conquest of Corsica and then serving in the French War Ministry, he decided that overseas campaigns required a professional army. The arguments he put forward still stand up to scrutiny today. To discuss Guibert and his works, we are joined by Dr Jonathan Abel, Assistant Professor of Military History, US Army Command and General Staff College, the author of Guibert: Father of Napoleon's Grande Armée (2016) and translator of Guibert's General Essay on Tactics (2021).

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: There will be many more effective altruist billionaires, published by Dwarkesh Patel on July 3, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Cross posted from my blog. Because of the generosity of a few billionaires, the effective altruism movement has recently come into a lot of money. The total amount of capital committed to the movement varies day to day with the crypto markets on which Sam Bankman-Fried's net worth is based. But the sum was recently estimated at 46 billion1. The movement has been trying to figure out how quickly it should give away this money. There's lots of fascinating questions you have to resolve before you can decide on a disbursement schedule2. An especially interesting one is: how many future billionaires will be effective altruists? If a new Sam Bankman-Fried and Dustin Moskovitz will join the movement every few years, then the argument for allocating money now becomes much more compelling. Future billionaires can handle future problems, but only you can fund the causes that are neglected and important today. Here are the three reasons I expect the number of EA billionaires to grow significantly. Effective altruism allows thymodic natures to achieve recognition and impact that is otherwise unavailable in the modern world. Effective altruism acts as a Schelling point for ambitious and risk taking founders. Effective altruism creates alignment in an organization and reduces adverse selection. Thymos In The End of History and the Last Man, Fukuyama argues that the leading contender for the final form of government is capitalist liberal democracy. Capitalism is peerless in satisfying people's desires and democracy is so far the best method of affording them recognition. His greatest hesitation about the sustainability of liberal democracies is whether societies where everyone has comfortable lives and no one gets special recognition can appease the appetites of the most ambitious personalities. As he puts it: [T]he virtues and ambitions called forth by war are unlikely to find expression in liberal democracies. There will be plenty of metaphorical wars—corporate lawyers specializing in hostile takeovers who will think of themselves as sharks or gunslingers, and bond traders who imagine . that they are “masters of the universe.” . But as they sink into the soft leather of their BMWs, they will know somewhere in the back of their minds that there have been real gunslingers and masters in the world, who would feel contempt for the petty virtues required to become rich or famous in modern America. How long megalothymia will be satisfied with metaphorical wars and symbolic victories is an open question. You can always have a great late night conversation by asking, “What would Napoleon or Ceasar do if he was born in modern America?” Surely the unique combinations of genes which make up the will and capacities of such men have not disappeared. But today their ambition cannot be exercised through great conquests and wars. So how is their energy redirected? The first place to look for modern Caesars or Alexanders is Silicon Valley. Napoleon's Grande Armée was basically run like a startup - extremely efficient and flexible, with quick promotion and delegation given to the most able and even quicker terminations provided to the least. Say what you will, they certainly knew how to capture bigger markets. When Napoleon told the Austrian statesman Metternich, “You cannot stop me, I can spend 30,000 men a month,” he was simply expressing the principle of blitzscaling. It would be much as if the Uber CEO told the Lyft CEO, “You can't catch up to us, I'm willing to burn 1 billion dollars of VC cash a quarter.” There are only a few startups whose mission is so intrinsically motivating that it would satisfy the most ambitious individuals of history. Sure, building a ...

Cela remonte à 1806, date à laquelle en toute modestie, Napoléon, après sa victoire sans appel à Austerlitz, décide de faire construire un Arc de Triomphe pour rendre hommage à sa Grande Armée, qui donnera son nom d'ailleurs à l'avenue parisienne qui descend à l'opposé des Champs-Elysées.

À l'été 1812, l'empereur des Français se présente sur les rives du Niémen, à la tête de 680.000 hommes, la plus grande armée jamais levée. Après le brasier de Moscou, la Grande Armée sombre dans un enfer de glace. Le thermomètre chute jusqu'à - 30°, comme à Smolensk. Le froid colle les lèvres et gèle les membres. Celui qui s'assoupit ne se réveille pas. La faim tenaille les ventres. Les plus désespérés se livrent au cannibalisme. C'est l'horreur absolue. Napoléon laisse le commandement à Murat et regagne Paris en urgence, car on l'a informé d'une tentative de coup d'État. L'empereur des Français entrevoit une cruelle vérité du pouvoir : du triomphe à la chute, il n'y a qu'un pas. Ecoutez Entrez dans l'Histoire avec Lorànt Deutsch du 11 février 2022
