I will endeavor from this new year resolution to do much better in directing my passion towards this part of my life and giving my followers great content put into a military history background with a great narrative as a commander directing soldiers upon the field of battle.
I wish to apologize to everyone that has been waiting for so long for me to get out another episode. I honestly had to do serious soul searching after my father passed away in July of 2020 and have only recently found a great job with Presbyterian College-International Office.
#OTD Eylau concludes- Battles such as Austerlitz and Jena were seen as expected but the terrible winter conditions, scare resources in Poland, and the suicidal tenacity of Russian soldiers proved to the grand armee' that this victory would only come with a terrible body count.
#OTD July 1402, a battle was fought outside Ankara. On one side was the army of Amir Timur, “the last of the great nomad conquerors,” who had spent the two preceding decades building a vast empire. On the other was that of the Ottoman ruler Bayezid I ‘The Thunderbolt’.
#OTD Wellington’s victory on 22nd July 1812 over the French army of Marshal Marmont, during the Peninsular War, leading to the re-capture of Madrid; also known as the Battle of Los Arapiles or Les Arapiles.
@mcribbHistory was this Wellington’s finest hour?

The Second French Empire declared war yesterday-North German Confederation falling superbly into Prince Bismarck’s trap. “Not through speeches and majority decisions will the great questions of the day be decided-but by iron and blood.” One Empire must fall for another to rise!

"Over the course of almost a decade of reporting on America’s war in Afghanistan, senior administration officials often told me that the Afghan war was hard to fix and easy to ignore because there was no public pressure to change course or review goals." mwi.usma.edu/access-denied-t…
Just to show how humble I am towards Arthur Wellesley-The Duke of Wellington. I wish @mcribbHistory to analyze this video to see what he agrees upon and what the YouTuber could’ve done a better job at. See I’m impartial except on Napoleon’s reforms 😅😅.

#Yesterday July 7th, 1807 Napoleon-EOF seals an alliance with Tsarist Russia and its impressionable young Tsar-Alexander I. As we all know this created peace in Europe and both men had absolutely no political differences when it came to the Poles or Trade. Right @JSC1812 🤣🤣🤣🤣
#OTD The Battle of Wagram ends with a French victory. Napoleon may not have known it but this would be his last decisive victory and be a precursor to far greater casualties. The marriage between Napoleon and Marie Louise now took place to seal peace with France and Austria.

#OTD Napoleon's multinational grande armee crossed the Niemen River in modern Lithuania, marking the beginning of his invasion of Russia. Only 1 in 6 of his men would return alive. While that loss of men seems crazy, the loss of trained cavalry proved to be far more decisive.
