Napoleon’s First Campaign Ep5: Rivoli

In 1796, at the height of the Revolutionary Wars, Napoleon Bonaparte took command of French forces in northern Italy. He was just 26 years old and had never commanded an army before. Within weeks, he had turned his ragged, demoralised troops into a ferocious fighting force, defeating the Austrians and knocking Piedmont out of the war. With success, Napoleon began to believe it was his destiny to shape the fate of nations. In this series, we follow Napoleon’s first glorious campaign step by step. 👕 Buy posters, t-shirts, hoodies, mugs & stickers at our merch store: Thanks to PMF Productions for their help in creating this series, check out their channel here: @PMF_Productions And thank you to Keith Rocco for permission to use his artwork in this video.
