View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Napoleon's often-overlooked Polish campaign of 1806-1807, which led to the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw. They discuss the Battle of Eylau, the bloodiest engagement of the Napoleonic Wars up to that point, and the decisive Battle of Friedland. Lucas explains Napoleon's pragmatic alliance with the Polish nobility, the establishment of the Duchy as a French satellite state, and the introduction of the Napoleonic Code and emancipation of peasants in Polish lands. The episode also covers the role of Polish lancers, the Treaty of Tilsit, and the long-term legacy of the Duchy for Polish national aspirations. Key figures include Tsar Alexander I, King Frederick William III of Prussia, General Bennigsen, and Polish leaders like Prince Józef Poniatowski. #Napoleon #PolishCampaign #DuchyOfWarsaw #BattleOfEylau #BattleOfFriedland #TreatyOfTilsit #PrincePoniatowski #PolishLancers #NapoleonicWars #Europe #Poland #1807 #GrandeArmée #Bennigsen #Emancipation #NapoleonicCode #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
