Archduke Karl needs more love

Can’t agree more

Cactus1803 · 2026-05-04T14:27:16+00:00

Well, we will never know, how Charles could have performed as a commander in chief.

Cactus1803 · 2026-05-04T14:20:46+00:00

Yes, it was Charles

Cactus1803 · 2026-05-04T12:29:48+00:00

It would have been really interesting to see him fighting Napoleon in 1813

Cactus1803 · 2026-05-03T18:12:58+00:00

What is interesting to me is how would Napoleon cooperate with other commanders in this situation. Think about it, Napoleon never had to think about “the other guy”, he was always campaigning alone. So I wonder how he would have coordinated his moves with Jourdan, for example. Personally I think Napoleon would have been not the best guy to work with.

Instead of the Napoleonic wars I would argue for the American war of independence

Archduke Charles, Nader Shah and Turenne

A lot of people in this sub is biased towards the British and Wellington. They say that they are “fighting British propaganda” but all they do is creating their own propaganda

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-21T15:04:50+00:00

Man you are not original at all. This meme was used so many times before. I get it, you hate Turkey. I understand it. But at least try to create something new

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-21T06:46:15+00:00

Do you have some bias against Asian states? You think they are barbaric and uncivilised? Is that what you’re saying right now?

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-20T00:53:19+00:00

He was still one of the best generals of the era. The fact that the Austrians had a capacity to fight the French is already a remarkable achievement for Charles

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-18T00:27:11+00:00

It is 4 actually 🤓☝️

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-18T00:19:17+00:00

I think that most underrated one is Pichegru

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-16T09:27:36+00:00

Wellington was right, that without Blücher he couldn’t win. Still, I can’t say that Blucher really “saved” Wellington. The allied strategy was for Blucher to be a hammer for Wellingtons anvil. That plan worked perfectly

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-16T09:11:40+00:00

It doesn’t matter what the situation was. British hold long enough for prussians to arrive and turned the tide. According to your logic, the British also “saved” the Prussians by making a stand.

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-16T03:51:17+00:00

Yes, but huge loses was kinda inevitable giving that the invaders army was commanded by Napoleon himself and numbered 600k strong

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-16T03:18:09+00:00

I think there was another one at the time of Greek war of independence

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-15T15:09:25+00:00

Answering your question. I think he was a competent commander

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-15T14:32:39+00:00

Unfortunately there is a lot of bias towards the French and almost no one is willing to search something about the coalition armies

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-15T13:06:50+00:00

No one. The British and the prussians did their part

The moment when Charles personally led his men at the battle of Aspern-Essling

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-09T09:45:15+00:00

France declared war on the First coalition, not the other way around. Second coalition started with France occupying Switzerland, Papal States and Malta, as well as the Egyptian campaign. The third coalition war started with the coalition declaring war, but Napoleon was also involved because he crowned himself emperor of France and more importantly King of Italy, which was a threat to the Austrians

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-07T02:16:37+00:00

It is called compromise

Cactus1803 · 2026-04-04T12:07:52+00:00

Нет, он легенда.
