Loved by his people a charismatic demagogue rises to ultimate power. This week Neil takes us across revolutionary France as Napoleon Bonaparte, a true military genius, becomes emperor. A brilliant soldier and leader, Napoleon captivates his country and makes the rest of continental Europe cower. On land, he was militarily unsurpassed, but at sea his naval ambitions were thwarted by Horatio Nelson and the British navy at the Battle of Trafalgar.To help support this podcast & get exclusive videos every week sign up to Neil Oliver@Patreon.comhttps://www.patreon.com/neiloliver Neil Oliver’s Websitehttps://www.neiloliver.com Check out my shop for t-shirts, mugs & other channel merchandise,https://neil-oliver.creator-spring.com The series Instagram account is called, ‘NeilOliverLoveLetter’https://www.instagram.com/neiloliverloveletter Neil Oliver History Podcasts,Season 1: Neil Oliver's Love Letter To The British IslesSeason 2: Neil Oliver's Love Letter To The WorldAvailable on all the usual providershttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/neil-olivers-love-letter-to-the-british-isles Hosted on Acast.
