In October 1813 Napoleon faced the combined might of the Sixth Coalition (Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sweden) near Leipzig, in what would prove to be the decisive battle of his career. Outnumbered, virtually encircled, Napoleon opted for a high-risk strategy of striking against Scwarzenberg’s Army of Bohemia, before the other Coalition armies could come to his aid. The four-day Battle of Leipzig would be the largest and bloodiest battle in European history before the First World War, and one that changed the destiny of Europe.

I hope you enjoy the latest video in our Napoleonic Wars series! As far as I'm aware, this is now the most detailed coverage of the Battle of Leipzig in an English-language documentary. It's a very neglected battle, particularly among English-speakers, but deserves to be much better known and understood. Not only was it fought on a vast scale, but this is where Napoleon's empire suffered its mortal blow.
Please check out our sponsor The Great Courses Plus, as one way to support the channel, or our merch shop or Patreon page. See the video description for recommended books and track listings.
For those interested in details: for the battle, I've used a VERY rough scale of 1 big block (of 4 smaller blocks) = 1 infantry division, or roughly 5,000 troops. That means a small block is roughly half a brigade / 2-3 battalions, or 1,250 troops. For artillery, roughly 1 cannon icon = 50 guns (in reality, of course, guns were much more widely dispersed across the battlefield). For cavalry, the scale is roughly double that of infantry, so one big block = 2,500 cavalry. However cavalry operated in much smaller formations than this, so they, plus smaller units and skirmishers, should be thought of as operating in most of the gaps between units on the map. For anyone interested in detailed orders-of-battle for Leipzig, I recommend this page from The Napoleon Series: https://www.napoleon-series.org/military/battles/leipzig/c_leipzigoob6.html
fabulous history of the french Empire and Napoleon ! it make my day ….!!!
11:43 What a foreshadowing
I was there
How was Bernadotte ever made a Marshall of France??
He seems better at avoiding battle then actually fighting one.
He failed to do anything at Jena-Auserstedt – failed at Wagram – and now did not do much here.
Waiting for 1814 now

Napoleon lost his mojo.
PLS DO A SERIES JUST LIKE YOUR NAPOLEON SERIES ABOUT THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
I think the question ‘What if Napoleon won the battle of Leipzig’ is a far more interesting matter than the Waterloo one after watching this.
Can we get a series on the Italian campaign? The Egyptian campaign? It goes from Toulon to Austerlitz. WTF?
What program did you use for editing? Sony Vegas Pro?
This is what a boss fight looks like.
25,000 dead each day!
Dictators and their dreams 👿
It would be awesome if you guys could make a series from the american civil war after Napoleon's .
Can we not gloss over the fact that the prussians were commanding Russian soldiers? And they were putting them in the front line and the prussians in reserve?
Are you still making these videos yourself even after the Alexander the great documentary. Just curious.
11:20 why is it always the Prussians?
excellent
Hello epic history , first I just want to say big fan of your work . Just all the effort and information you put in is amazing . I just wanted to ask something , I know you guys did a video on the Russian Revolution , but I was hoping you guys could do a series on the Russian civil war . Since your almost finished with Napoleon . It's just a really interesting and confusing topic for me . Please reply if you have anything in plan for it in the future .
İs Murat French ?
Pas de sous-titrages en Français ! dommage .
Can you imagine being a peaceful farmer living you life in the fields close to Leipzig when all of a sudden a battle for the continent takes place in your front yard?
Hitlers War- What The Historians Neglect To Mention
https://archive.org/details/HitlersWar-WhatTheHistoriansNeglectToMentiontestVersion
You guys put into context the battlefield and tactics so clearly, I felt as though I was there in 1813 hovering over Leipzig.
Another truly amazing job guys. These battles are always passed over. The history books go from the retreat from Moscow to the battle of Waterloo. I am truly excited to see the remarkable struggle that took place in between. Thank you Epic History Tv.
Napoleon was somehow enemy of France for slaughtering it's people
The shortest world war was 4 days,not four years
Complete history of the roman empire/republic
Dos ejercitos rusos y prusiano rodean desde diferente flancos al ejercito frances imperial de napoleon
I wonder what Napoleon ate for breakfast
Love your content. Can you please make a series of world war II.
Soon we will be fighting each other again… see you on the battlefield, fellow Europeans.
nice music at the end. badass napoleon 32:40 😎
Please do one about the battle of cartagena de indias
There is NO PANDEMIC. In fact there ARE NO malign 'VIRUSES' – it's ALL LIES! And here's why, EXPLAINED in detail, no stones unturned. The supremacist genocidal global elite want the rest of us dead, and 'covid-blabla' is a vital part of that long-standing plan. They already have worldwide Information Dominance, and by way monopolizing media and of the Tyranny of Small Steps, soon they will have Physical control over all populations on earth. You're already dead, unless enough of us wake up NOW and ACT…

*************
"Viruses" probably doesn't even exist…
"For almost one year we have been asking authorities, politicians and medical institutes after the scientific evidence for the existence of such viruses that are said to cause disease and therefore require "immunization". After almost one year we have not received even one concrete answer which provides evidence for the existence of those "vaccination viruses".
The conclusion is inevitable that our children are still vaccinated on the basis of scientific standards of the 18th and 19th century. In the 19th century Robert Koch demanded in his generally accepted postulates evidence of the virus in order to prove infection; at Koch´s time this evidence couldn´t be achieved directly by visualization and characterization of the viruses, because adequate technology wasn´t available at that time.
Methods of modern medicine have profoundly changed over the past 60 years, in particular by the invention of the electron microscope.
[OBS!!!] And still all these viruses we get immunized against have never been re-examined using this technology?"

How about a American Revolutionary war series???????
This is the best documentary channel in all of entertainment. You guys deserve an Academy Award for this. I literally felt like a French soldier fighting for one of my idols, Napoleon Bonaparte!!!!!
Beware
The 12 year old historians have invaded.
Bonaparte had clearly lost his spark in the later campaigns. He would partly gain it back in the final battles to defend France, but it was too late. It is hard to see what he was trying to achieve by staying put and slugging it out on the defensive. Once the the concentration against Schwartzenberg failed, the younger Napoleon would have gone back to maneuver, looking for another day to strike the enemy off guard or in detail. God knows why he let Allies corner him like that. He should have pulled out after the 1st day.
I’ve been looking forward to this, but also not so due to the loss of Poniatowski.
