Наполеон перетинає Альпи | Дорога до Маренго | Реакція на епічну історію

In this reaction, the creator continues the series on Napoleon from Epic History, focusing on his crossing of the Alps in 1800 and the strategic preparations for the Battle of Marengo. The video is largely a silent reaction, with the creator adding context where possible. He discusses Napoleon’s role as First Consul, the consolidation of power after the coup, political stabilization, the creation of institutions such as the national bank, and the strengthening of internal security. He examines the strategic position in Europe, with Austria as the main threat—especially in Italy—and the importance of Italy as both a military and political prize. The creator also covers how Napoleon assembled and presented his reserve army, the role of propaganda and inflated numbers, and why deception and perception were as important as raw strength. He then delves into the crossing of the Alps, the logistical nightmare of moving men, artillery, and supplies, the night marches, the silence, avalanches, and the transport of artillery over snow, separating myth from reality. He discusses Fort Bard and early battles, the siege of Genoa and the humanitarian catastrophe, the siege of Mazzenna, the advance to Milan, and the Battle of Montblanc, highlighting the risks of dividing forces and the confrontation that would shape the campaign.
