Napoleonic History

Napoleon's invasion of Russia

In 1812, Napoleon led the largest army Europe had ever seen into the heart of Russia. He sought a swift victory to crush his last great rival. What he found instead was a vast, unforgiving land and a relentless enemy. This is the story of a military machine brought to its knees not by a single army, but by scorched earth, a brutal winter, and an adversary that refused to fight on his terms. It was a gamble that led to the death of an empire and forever changed the course of history.

The siege of Toulon

In 1793, a major French port city fell to enemy forces, threatening to collapse the young Republic. The siege to reclaim it was a disaster, a bumbling failure against a seemingly unbreakable defense. But then, an unknown and ambitious artillery captain stepped forward. He saw what no one else could, turning the battle's focus and using his sheer will to launch a daring assault. This is the story of a gamble that proved his genius and ignited the career of a man who would become Emperor.
