This is a powerful new account of a chapter in history that is crucial to understand, yet often overlooked. For 150 years, from the reign of Louis XIV to the downfall of Napoleon, France was an aggressive imperial power in South Asia, driven by the pursuit of greatness and riches. Through their East India company and state, the French established a far-reaching empire in India, only to see their dominant position undermined by conflict with Indian rulers, competition from other European nations, and a series of fatal strategic errors. Exploding the myth of a benign French presence on the subcontinent, Robert Ivermee's extensive research reveals how France's Indian empire relied on war-making, conquest, opportunistic alliances, regime change and slavery to pursue its ambitions. He considers influential French figures' reactions to the collapse of the imperial project, not least their deployment of new ideas, like freedom and the rights of man, to justify fresh ventures of domination--even as colonial authorities failed to acknowledge the equality of French India's diverse indigenous peoples, both before and after the French Revolution. From great power rivalry to informal empire and entrenched inequalities, Glorious Failure: The Forgotten History of French Imperialism in India (Oxford UP, 2025) tackles topics that remain vital and urgent in today's world.

Alexander der Große: Vor über 2300 Jahren eroberte er in nur zwölf Jahren ein Reich, das von Griechenland bis an die Grenzen Indiens reichte – größer als alles, was die Welt bis dahin gesehen hatte. Mit kaum zwanzig Jahren bestieg er den Thron, mit zweiunddreißig war er bereits tot – und doch hat er die Geschichte für immer geprägt. Seine Feldzüge gelten bis heute als Meisterwerke der Kriegskunst, studiert von Feldherren wie Hannibal, Cäsar oder Napoleon. Er hatte die Welt in Staunen versetzt, die Grenzen des Vorstellbaren verschoben und einen unvergesslichen Eindruck hinterlassen. Es ist – ohne seine Fehler und Brutalität zu vergessen – die größte Geschichte der Menschheit. Viel Spaß mit Teil 1!*Die verdammt blutige Geschichte der Antike. Jetzt im C.H.

(Host: Christine) One of Napoleon Bonaparte's favorite methods of expanding control was to place his siblings in positions of power. Here, Christine takes a look at the lives of Napoleon's three dynamic sisters (Elisa, Pauline, and Caroline), their rise to imperial prominence, and how they were impacted by the fall of their brother.

The night before the Battle, General Weyrother, who coordinated the advance, traveled to Kutuzov's quarters in a castle near Austerlitz for a council of war. Kutuzov was a reluctant and relegated host.   Weyrother is presented as full of vigor while Kutuzov was morose, with his uniform unbuttoned and nearly asleep in a chair. Weyrother was familiar with the terrain but was unable to competently explain the nature of this Moravian land. He spoke in front of an enormous map and went through the battle-plan. It involved a flanking maneuver and pursuit over a forest as well as descriptions of how the columns would march. He was exhausted and lost all sense of deference to the other attendees. Kutuzov's response was to snore – at one point waking up startled and giving a condescending “YES! YES!,” and nodding off again.   Tolstoy then symbolizes how some high-level officers are said to have reacted at the historic encounter.   Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Buxhöwden, hardly paid attention. Like many of the Russian  officer class, his name had German roots.  Mikhail Miloradovich  “with wide-open eyes and a mustache twisted upwards,” sat in a military posture remaining silent.  Unimpressed, he complained to himself but loud enough to be heard, “A geography lesson!?”  Dimitry Dohktúrov, a small and modest man.  was studying the unfamiliar localities on the map and found the plan confusing.  There was also Count Louis Langeron, a French émigré, who gazed at his delicate fingers twirling a gold snuffbox. He tried to contribute his own ideas but was rebuffed.  A prominent Polish official, Ignacy Przebyszéwski,  was  described as carrying a dignified politeness. Thus, the command was an eclectic mix of ethnic Germans, aristocratic Russians, a Frenchman and even a Pole. Late in the council, Langeron finally got a chance to convey how difficult it would be to carry out such a strategy since the enemy's position was only assumed and Bonaparte might attack and render the plan worthless.  Tolstoy expresses that those spoken down to could have advised Weyrother about military matters. It is a hindsight presentation of a doomed mission. Historically, Weyrother would not have been spearheading the effort if Gen. Johann Schmit had not been killed. Weyrother met all objections with contempt, finding it ridiculous to debate a disposition approved by the Emperors. He felt the only thing to fear was the French retreating. He noted: “If Napolean could attack us, he would have done so today.” When Weyrother is nearly finished, Tolstoy brings in the fictional Andrei to get into the mindset of the noble officer who faces such an affair. Andrei asks for a clarification but Weyrother cuts him off with  “Gentlemen, the dispositions for tomorrow—or rather for today, for it is past midnight—cannot be altered. You have heard them and we shall all do our duty. Before a battle, there is nothing more important than to have a good sleep.”  Andrei could sense that nobody was inspired by the talk.  He wondered how Alexander was not influenced by Kutuzov's reticence.  He realized all their lives were placed at needless risk.  He considers, “It is very likely that I shall be killed tomorrow” and  a series of memories arose.  Andrei remembered parting from his father and dwelled on his wife and her pregnancy. In a softened mood he went out into the early December night. “Tomorrow everything may be over for me and these memories will be no more.”  He became certain he would be called to account as a soldier and man.  He pictured the battle in light of the sober analysis from Kutuzov. He imagined having the opportunity to firmly express his opinion of the futility of the present course to Kutuzov, Weyrother and the Emperors. While they would be impressed, no one would listen to him. He visualizes the forthcoming hesitation. He senses that his Toulon (the famous battle that catapulted Napoleon's career)  will present itself and envisions taking a regiment and leading it victory. He even pictures Kutuzov being removed appointed in the Commander's place! However, another voice suggesting he would be wounded or killed.  He considered, “I don't know what will happen, but admits he desires Glory -- to be known to men and loved by them.”  He finds no Fault that earthly glory is all that he lives for! In pursuit of such esteem, he fears nothing, neither his own death nor the loss of his family.  Though his family is precious, he has psyched himself up to point that he would trade them all for just a moment of that glory.

Pfarrer Josias Burger war zu Besuch im Landesmuseum und erlebte zwischen Königen und Kaisern eine hölzerne Gottesbegegnung. Davon erzählt er ausführlich in dieser Ausgabe – ergänzt durch royale Geschichten von Sissi bis Napoleon dem Dritten. Moderator Chris Strauch gerät derweil ins Schwärmen über Romy Schneider in ihren Sissi-Filmen. Schnell stellt sich die Frage: Wie viel Authentizität darf es sein? Ein Begriff, der längst zum Modewort geworden ist – und von den beiden Podcastern kritisch auf den Prüfstand gestellt wird. Am Ende bleibt die Frage offen: Muss der Bart ab?

Who was Napoleon Bonaparte, and was he the greatest war general? Today, we take a closer look at the rise of one of the most famous world leaders. We'll talk about why Napoleon Bonaparte is important, the French Revolution, various battles, the occult figures in Napoleon's life, and other interesting topics... WELCOME TO History CAMP!

You can send a text, include contact info to get a response. Napoleon never intended to invade as far as Moscow.  It was just supposed to be the 2nd Polish campaign.  But Napoleon's hammer blows kept missing.Napoleon's blend of insightful planning and terrible planning for the invasion led to the temptation to do what the Empereur knew was wrong.  Just go a little deeper.There were at least 3 inflection points that historians point to that could have led to more success and a very different world for us.  These include the movement east from Smolensk, the long stay in Moscow, and finally the December 5 decision to leave Murat in command of the French army at Vilnius.And from the view of Russian decision making we have the quite severe limits on Alexander's freedom to make the kind of decisions Napoleon needed him to make.  And also there were the arguments made by Kutuzov, among others that Russia should not push into Germany.There will be another episode on the topic the following week.

He tells her that her family has been evicted, but urges her not to go and help them. He confesses to the murder to Sonya. She responds with deep pity and promises to support Raskolnikov and not abandon him. She is shocked when he tells her that his situation and poverty was not the motive for his crime. He says "I was ambitious to become another Napoleon; that was why I committed a murder." He also confesses that he feels detached from other people and believed and still maybe believes that he is superior to most other people. Sonya tells him that he has been punished for turning away from God. He reaffirms that the crime was fueled by self-absorption, that he wished to prove that he was extraordinary and able to take actions that ordinary people cannot. Sonya tells him that he must confess to his crimes publicly for God to give him peace. At first he is resistant, but soon consents. Sonya promises to see him in prison and support him. She also gives Raskolnikov a pendant crucifix to wear, like the one she wears, saying that they will both bare their crosses. Then Lebezyatnikov knocks on the door.

Are the antiques in the Tower of Terror just a bunch of old junk, or are they actually telling a story you haven't noticed before?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into the Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within the design. In this episode, we focus on identifying the artifacts found in the second half of the Echo library preshow room, exploring the details and artifacts you may have missed. Along the way, we discover some props that have changed, explore women's fashion in the 1930s, and discover a unique way of keeping the Hollywood Tower Hotel guests sober.

Today's brief poem goes out to teachers everywhere as they return to work. Good luck and happy reading.“Poet Seamus Heaney described Holub's writing as ‘a laying bare of things, not so much the skull beneath the skin, more the brain beneath the skull; the shape of relationships, politics, history; the rhythms of affections and disaffection; the ebb and flow of faith, hope, violence, art.' In 1988 poet Ted Hughes called Holub ‘one of the half dozen most important poets writing anywhere.'” This is a public episode.

Napoleon Bonaparte dreamed Paris would be the 'capital city of the universe' and much of what we see - and love - about Paris is thanks to him. The long straight boulevards, the fountains, the galleries and museums- even the bread that comes with European cuisine were brought in by Napoleon. He wanted to make it a city that reflected his imperial ambition. But this city shaped him too - Paris is where he went through his most formative experiences as a young man, where he first tasted power, seduction and revolution.Dan joins historian and expert guide Stephanie Paul in Paris to explore the story of Napoleon's early life here, how the city shaped him and how he created the Paris we recognise today.Click here for Stephanie's Napoleonic Paris Tour.This episode is part of our 'Dan Snow's Guide to Europe' Series.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.

I must've been a kid when I first heard the palindrome “Able I was ere I saw Elba”. Napoleon didn't mean a lot to me at the time. “Elba” meant even less. Decades later, I had learned a little more about Napoleon and his time there, but not that all that much it turns out. And then came Mark Braude's The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba from Empire to Exile (Penguin Press, 2018)… This unexpected and absorbing book delves into the story of Napoleon's exile on the island of Elba following his abdication in 1814. After his escape and return to France for the “100 Days,” Napoleon was, of course, finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815. The Invisible Emperor explores a period in between the “bigger-ticket” events with which readers may be more familiar, a time and space in which Napoleon at once out of sight and more in contact with everyday people than perhaps at any other point in his career. Written in multiple short chapters comprising four parts that follow the seasons of Bonaparte's ten-month stay on Elba, The Invisible Emperor reconsiders the Napoleonic legend from the point of view of a moment of relative quiet in a modest setting. Carefully researched and a pleasure to read, it challenges aspects of the towering historical figure's mythology. The space, timeline, and scale of this history may be small, but this is a Napoleon we don't typically hear about. Presented in a narrative rich with curious details and a surprising intimacy, The Invisible Emperor manages to humanize an epic history and life about which so much has been written over the past two centuries. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Simon Fraser University. Her current research focuses on the representation of nuclear weapons and testing in France and its empire since 1945. She lives and reads in Vancouver, Canada.

In this episode of The Tai Lopez Show, Tai unpacks the power of environment in shaping your long-term success, drawing from a viral tweet about Warren Buffett’s wisdom: “When a good manager meets a bad business, the bad business wins.” Tai expands this into life and wealth—how the wrong city, country, or social circle can quietly sabotage even the most disciplined person. You’ll learn: Why willpower is finite and can’t outlast a toxic environment How “flow maxing” can guide the cities you live in, the industries you choose, and the people you date When to move into big cities to grow your wealth—and when to get out before ambition consumes you The ancient “Lindy” principle for making better life choices Why knowing your genetic limits is as important in business as it is in sports The danger of never having an “enough” number, from Napoleon to modern billionaires How to rotate between environments for money, happiness, and long-term health If you’ve ever wondered where you should live to make the most money—and when to leave so you can actually enjoy it—this deep dive will change the way you think about your surroundings, your ambition, and your optimal stopping point.

Greg Jenner is joined in nineteenth-century France by historian Professor Olivette Otele and comedian Celya AB to learn about acclaimed novelist Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre was born to an innkeeper's daughter and a legendary Black general who fought for Napoleon. After his father's death the family grew up in rural poverty, but after a visit to Paris as a teenager, Dumas fell in love with the city and its theatre. Using his father's connections he found a job there and was soon a successful playwright, before turning his attention to novels. He was a prolific author, writing such blockbusters as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Christo. But amidst the writing, Dumas also found plenty of time for romantic dalliances, political entanglements, and global travel. This episode explores his extraordinary life and the incredible works of literature he created, set against the turbulent background of French politics in the years after the Napoleonic wars. If you're a fan of French revolutionary politics, trailblazing Black figures and the messy personal lives of best-selling authors, you'll love our episode on Alexandre Dumas.If you want more Black history with Professor Olivette Otele, check out our episode on the Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Napoleon Bonaparte's temporary return to power in France in 1815, following his escape from exile on Elba . He arrived with fewer than a thousand men, yet three weeks later he had displaced Louis XVIII and taken charge of an army as large as any that the Allied Powers could muster individually. He saw that his best chance was to pick the Allies off one by one, starting with the Prussian and then the British/Allied armies in what is now Belgium. He appeared to be on the point of victory at Waterloo yet somehow it eluded him, and his plans were soon in tatters. His escape to America thwarted, he surrendered on 15th July and was exiled again but this time to Saint Helena. There he wrote his memoirs to help shape his legacy, while back in Europe there were still fears of his return.
