4
00:00:12,330 --> 00:00:14,850
On June 26th, 1813,
5
00:00:14,850 --> 00:00:18,100
Austrian Foreign Minister Klemens von Metternich arrives
6
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,393
in Dresden, the capital of the kingdom of Saxony.
7
00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:28,890
His destination is the Palais Marcolini,
8
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:30,520
just outside the city.
9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Napoleon is waiting there.
10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,640
The French emperor has set up his headquarters
11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,673
in Dresden during the Armistice.
12
00:00:38,980 --> 00:00:42,450
Napoleon is nervous, his leadership is being challenged.
13
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:44,313
Warning signs are everywhere.
14
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:52,013
He and his allies still control Europe,
15
00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:55,330
but he suffered a serious defeat
16
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:57,193
in Russia a few months earlier.
17
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:00,420
Battered by freezing temperatures
18
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:03,893
and the czar's troops, the Grande Armée is worn down.
19
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:07,110
In Southern Europe, Spain advances
20
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:10,290
and drives Napoleon's troops out of the country.
21
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:12,780
Now Prussia and Russia have become allies
22
00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:16,200
to wage war against Napoleon, and the English king,
23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,653
Napoleon's archenemy, helps fund this alliance.
24
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:23,810
But where does Austria stand?
25
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:26,060
Will it remain devoted to Napoleon?
26
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:27,483
The emperor needs an answer.
27
00:01:31,983 --> 00:01:33,936
(slow orchestral music)
28
00:01:33,936 --> 00:01:38,519
(general speaking in foreign language)
29
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:47,500
Metternich presents Napoleon an ultimatum.
30
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Either he accepts a peace plan,
31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,203
or Austria joins the enemies.
32
00:01:58,390 --> 00:02:02,010
{\an8}The two discuss the situation for more than nine hours,
33
00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:04,100
{\an8}a duel between Napoleon, the soldier,
34
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,640
{\an8}the son of the revolution, and Metternich,
35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,183
{\an8}the diplomat from a long line of nobility.
36
00:02:10,129 --> 00:02:14,296
(slow orchestral music continues)
37
00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:23,733
The future of the continent is at stake.
38
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,930
Europe's fate will be sealed by the time the day ends.
39
00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:51,126

{\an8}(Napoleon speaking in foreign language)
47

Despite the disaster in Russia,
48
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,033
Napoleon still thinks his military has the upper hand.
49
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:45,730
He sets up a new army,
50
00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:48,213
launches a counterattack, and triumphs.
51
00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:53,373
He moves to Dresden to attack the Russians again from there,
52
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:59,483
but he'll need Austria's support for that, and quick.

{\an8}(Thierry speaking in foreign language)
56
00:04:43,748 --> 00:04:45,560
Austria and France have been enemies
57
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,190
for a long time.
58
00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:50,810
Austria has been defeated four times by the French emperor,
59
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:54,300
in Arcole, Marengo, Austerlitz, and Wagram.
60
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:56,500
Only loyalty to the alliance would be a reason
61
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,110
for Austria to support France now.
62
00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:02,681
Austria is not much of a partner and Napoleon knows that.

{\an8}(Napoleon speaking in foreign language)
76
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,370
It takes nine years
77
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:36,870
until Napoleon rules all of Europe.
78
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:39,750
The borders of France, claimed by the revolution,
79
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:41,470
behind the Pyrenees, the Alps,
80
00:08:41,470 --> 00:08:43,483
and the Rhine are extended further.
81
00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:51,800
At that time, the French empire consisted
82
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,550
of 134 governmental ministries,
83
00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:58,493
from Hamburg to Barcelona and from Rome to Amsterdam.
84
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,590
This empire is extended by a number of states
85
00:09:02,590 --> 00:09:05,773
on its borders, all under Napoleon's control.
86
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,290
One area is particularly important, Germany,
87
00:09:11,290 --> 00:09:13,920
also known as the German Confederation,
88
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,520
which Napoleon separated from the two opposing great powers,
89
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,190
Prussia and Austria.
90
00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:21,340
He created this new political entity
91
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:23,343
immediately after coming to power.
92
00:09:27,084 --> 00:09:30,417
{\an8}(slow orchestral music)
93
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:35,180
{\an8}Nine years earlier, Napoleon is crowed at Notre Dame.
94
00:09:35,180 --> 00:09:38,410
{\an8}He uses this occasion to announce his plans for Europe,
95
00:09:38,410 --> 00:09:40,173
but especially for Germany.
96
00:09:44,097 --> 00:09:48,390
"I don't succeed Louis XVI, but rather Charles the Great."
97
00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:51,700
Napoleon sees himself as the heir to this emperor,
98
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:55,173
who ruled both Germany and France around the year 800.
99
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:00,630
That's why he also travels to the old coronation city
100
00:10:00,630 --> 00:10:02,523
of Aachen, a pretentious move.
101
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:09,653
{\an8}(Thierry speaking in foreign language)
102
00:10:23,288 --> 00:10:27,788
(Michel speaking in foreign language)
103
00:10:39,020 --> 00:10:40,550
His plan worked.
104
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:43,580
In June, 1813, he not only ruled France,
105
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:45,810
but also large parts of Germany,
106
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:49,573
much to the annoyance of Emperor Franz and Von Metternich.

{\an8}(Napoleon speaking in foreign language)
112
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:21,940
When Napoleon comes to power,
113
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,460
Europe is ruled by the Holy Roman Empire
114
00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:25,773
of the German nation.
115
00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:32,400
By 1800, it's only an unconsolidated association.
116
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,180
It encompasses the center of Europe
117
00:12:34,180 --> 00:12:37,190
and is a German speaking and cultural region.
118
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:40,123
The Germany we know today didn't exist yet.
119
00:12:40,123 --> 00:12:44,623
(Emilie speaking in foreign language)

(Ute speaking in foreign language)
121
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:27,870
This combination of different territories
122
00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:30,693
includes free cities like Frankfurt and Hamburg,
123
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,290
but it also includes regional powers,
124
00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:36,353
like Bavaria and Saxony,
125
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,363
and two powerful adversaries, Prussia and Austria.
126
00:13:48,050 --> 00:13:49,970
This territory was mostly governed
127
00:13:49,970 --> 00:13:53,483
by a Habsburg from Austria for nearly 600 years.
128
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,620
That was obviously the greatest influence
129
00:13:56,620 --> 00:13:58,740
on this German speaking cultural region
130
00:13:58,740 --> 00:13:59,903
in the heart of Europe.
131
00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:07,730
This territory was mostly governed
132
00:14:07,730 --> 00:14:11,740
by Habsburg from Austria for nearly 600 years.
133
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:15,530
The territories on the left bank of the Rhine are annexed.
134
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:18,863
(slow orchestral music)
135
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:24,310
Napoleon, who's not emperor yet,
136
00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:26,400
is definitely involved in this.
137
00:14:29,619 --> 00:14:34,619
(Jacques-Olivier speaking in foreign language)
138
00:14:53,038 --> 00:14:54,920
(slow music)
139
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,350
Napoleon entangled three
140
00:14:56,350 --> 00:15:00,893
particular territories, Baden, Württemberg, and Bavaria.
141
00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:06,000
Their ancestral riches are geographically far apart.
142
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,320
The territorial reorganization of 1803 gave each
143
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,790
of them connecting regions,
144
00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:12,983
which were up to seven times larger.
145

{\an8}(dramatic orchestral music)
146
00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:21,603
{\an8}And more will follow.
147
00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:26,763
The French emperor crushes his enemies at Austerlitz.
148
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:35,830
Baden, Bavaria, and Württemberg fight alongside him
149
00:15:35,830 --> 00:15:37,423
and they're rewarded for it.
150
00:15:41,339 --> 00:15:45,922
(Thierry speaking in foreign language)

00:15:57,816 --> 00:16:02,316
{\an8}(Michel speaking in foreign language)
152
00:16:27,676 --> 00:16:29,430
At the beginning of 1806,
153
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:32,660
Napoleon controls all of Southern Germany.
154
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,060
The Holy Roman Empire is only a shadow
155
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:39,110
of its former self once it's lost important territories.
156
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:40,300
A few months later,
157
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:43,253
Napoleon delivers the final blow to the empire.
158
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,600
On July 12th, 1806, 16 German states sign a treaty aligning
159
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,893
themselves with the new ruler of Europe.
160
00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:58,610
They form the Confederation of the Rhine,
161
00:16:58,610 --> 00:17:02,573
the third Germany, alongside Prussia and Austria.
162
00:17:04,296 --> 00:17:08,963
(Johannes speaking in foreign language)

{\an8}(Michel speaking in foreign language)
164
00:17:44,074 --> 00:17:45,910
By 1808, approximately
165
00:17:45,910 --> 00:17:49,273
20 more states had joined, including Saxony.
166
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:55,340
The Confederation is now more than a security zone.
167
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:58,180
The heart of Europe is under Napoleon's control,
168
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,443
but this coalition has a weakness.
169
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:03,870
The treaty certainly envisions
170
00:18:03,870 --> 00:18:06,480
forming a genuine political unit,
171
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,563
but this political concept is never fulfilled.
172
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:14,870
There's no common authority, no common laws.
173
00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:18,480
In reality, neither the emperor nor his allies strive
174
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,703
for state unity.
175
00:18:22,073 --> 00:18:26,740

(slow music)
178
00:19:04,770 --> 00:19:06,770
Napoleon only had one objective
179
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:09,850
with the third Germany, to weaken Prussia,
180
00:19:09,850 --> 00:19:12,070

This Austria, which had dominated the continent
182
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,530
for centuries, which he had defeated four times
183
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:19,713
and ultimately ended its reign.

{\an8}to control the Confederation of the Rhine as he pleases.
210
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:27,650
In October, 1806, he defeated the Prussians at Jena,
211
00:26:27,650 --> 00:26:30,183
as well as Austria and Austerlitz.
212
00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:35,020
He uses these victories
213
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:38,850
to reshape the Confederation of the Rhine once again.
214
00:26:38,850 --> 00:26:42,053
He creates a new state from the ground up, Westphalia.
215
00:26:46,140 --> 00:26:49,790
This state was to serve as a model for the whole of Germany.

is king of this new state.

to be France on German soil,
232
00:30:20,010 --> 00:30:22,730
initially divided into eight sections,
233
00:30:22,730 --> 00:30:24,873

35,000 customs soldiers are deployed
256

at all borders of the empire.
257
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:18,670
Napoleon wants to stop the import
258

of English merchandise onto the continent.

267

The people there quickly learn
268
00:35:43,860 --> 00:35:46,210
to get around the French emperor's blockade
269
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:48,596
by any means necessary.

Isolation doesn't only create problems,
281
00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:39,213
it also encourages local manufacturers.

(Ute speaking in foreign language)
283
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:21,630
But these few positive aspects can't compensate
284
00:38:21,630 --> 00:38:24,533
for the general feeling of a deep injustice.
285
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:28,400
Because of Napoleon's Europe,
286
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,653
not everyone benefits the same way.
287
00:38:32,150 --> 00:38:36,520
In the French empire, for example, goods circulate freely.
288
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,700
In the allied countries,
289
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:40,260
which include the Confederation of the Rhine,
290
00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:43,050
the emperor taxes whatever he wants.
291
00:38:43,050 --> 00:38:45,263
Opportunities are certainly not the same.

(soldier speaking in foreign language)
296
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:36,260
The continental blockade is
297
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:40,950
constantly undermined, so Napoleon increases the controls
298
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:43,100
and makes the penalties harsher.
299
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,350
If it's not food, he sometimes has merchandise burned
300
00:39:46,350 --> 00:39:48,443

the continental blockade is France first.

On the other hand, the injustice
307

of this economic policy strikes a chord

strained the relationship between Napoleon

341
00:47:25,700 --> 00:47:28,480
how many soldiers each member state must transfer

344
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,203
It amounts to 120,000 Germans in the Napoleonic forces.

in Napoleon's Germany.
358
00:50:08,370 --> 00:50:10,290
The Confederation of the Rhine states
359
00:50:10,290 --> 00:50:13,050
constantly encounter his troops.
360
00:50:13,050 --> 00:50:15,900
Even though Napoleon insists that his soldiers behave
361
00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:18,683
in a commendable manner, they're rarely welcome.
362
00:50:24,580 --> 00:50:27,290
{\an8}People remember one story in particular.
363
00:50:27,290 --> 00:50:31,470
{\an8}In August, 1806, Johann Philipp Palm is arrested
364
00:50:31,470 --> 00:50:33,347
by the French in Nuremberg.

(slow music)
373
00:52:08,070 --> 00:52:09,310
But this execution
374
00:52:09,310 --> 00:52:11,670
has the exact opposite effect.
375
00:52:11,670 --> 00:52:14,980
It brings massive attention to Napoleon's adversaries.
376
00:52:14,980 --> 00:52:17,440
There are fundraising campaigns all over Germany
377
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,253
for Palm's widow and children.

380

The fall of Palm,

dead soldiers, economic policy,
382
00:52:51,620 --> 00:52:53,790
resentment against Napoleon is growing
383
00:52:53,790 --> 00:52:55,563
among the German population.
384
00:53:01,380 --> 00:53:05,020
The philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte accused Napoleon
385
00:53:05,020 --> 00:53:07,360
of abusing the ideals of the revolution
386
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,883
and establishing a tyranny in Germany.
387
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:17,447
Even more radically, the poet Heinrich von Kleist writes,
388
00:53:17,447 --> 00:53:21,210
"Kill him, the world court requires no justification,"
389
00:53:21,210 --> 00:53:23,603
and some people take his words to heart.

(slow orchestral music)
391
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:39,763
October 12th, 1809, Schönbrunn Palace.
392
00:53:41,070 --> 00:53:44,260
Napoleon has been here for a few months already.
393
00:53:44,260 --> 00:53:46,783
He's preparing a peace treaty with Austria.
394
00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:52,230
He's dismissing his troops as he does every morning
395
00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:55,150
{\an8}when General Rapp gives him a disturbing message.

but this assassination attempt really bothers Napoleon.
446
00:59:19,180 --> 00:59:22,050
How could a young German want to kill him?
447
00:59:22,050 --> 00:59:24,850
After all, he only wants the best for the German people.
448
00:59:33,710 --> 00:59:35,510
And what will happen to all he's achieved
449

if one day a maniac should reach his goal?

that he's been putting off for years now.

hasn't given him children.
454
00:59:56,470 --> 00:59:59,420
This failed assassination attempt reminds Napoleon
455
00:59:59,420 --> 01:00:02,160
that how desperately needs an heir to the throne,
456
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,623
so he divorces her.

since the defeat at Wagram.
475

This empire, which dominated Europe for a long time,
476
01:02:43,980 --> 01:02:46,580
is losing influence and power,
477
01:02:46,580 --> 01:02:50,240
and even worse, important parts of its territory.

{\an8}(Jacques-Olivier speaking in foreign language)

{\an8}that this marriage, which would unite the daughter

of the defeated with the conqueror,
482
01:03:23,730 --> 01:03:25,783
would be an opportunity for Austria.

01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,463
defeat, the beginning of the end.
535
01:13:23,090 --> 01:13:25,250
{\an8}Then the unthinkable occurs.
536
01:13:25,250 --> 01:13:28,490
{\an8}This apparently invincible man loses his army,
537
01:13:28,490 --> 01:13:29,883
{\an8}retreating from Russia.
538
01:13:30,890 --> 01:13:32,840
It had started so well.
539
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,970
Napoleon and his soldiers reached the gates
540
01:13:34,970 --> 01:13:37,103
of Moscow almost unhindered.
541
01:13:42,830 --> 01:13:45,950
But Czar Alexander has the city set on fire
542
01:13:45,950 --> 01:13:48,570
and refuses to negotiate.
543
01:13:48,570 --> 01:13:51,450
Napoleon has no choice, he has to retreat
544
01:13:51,450 --> 01:13:53,400
and helplessly watch how the cold
545
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,230
and reinvigorated Russian troops continue
546
01:13:56,230 --> 01:13:58,113
to wear down the Grande Armée.
547
01:14:05,051 --> 01:14:09,551
{\an8}(Gunter speaking in foreign language)
548
01:14:51,850 --> 01:14:54,880
This defeat has immediate consequences.
549
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,340
Prussia formed an alliance with Napoleon,
550
01:14:57,340 --> 01:14:59,730
but they now turn against France.
551
01:14:59,730 --> 01:15:02,750
Five other states leave the Confederation of the Rhine
552
01:15:02,750 --> 01:15:04,823
and join Napoleon's enemies.
553
01:15:11,290 --> 01:15:13,090
Rebels in Westphalia threaten
554
01:15:13,090 --> 01:15:15,323
to storm King Jerome's capital.
555
01:15:16,370 --> 01:15:17,773
The Germans revolt.
556
01:15:27,290 --> 01:15:30,600
In a few months, Napoleon assembles a new army
557
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,130
and regains the upper hand
558
01:15:32,130 --> 01:15:34,793
after a successful campaign in Saxony.
559
01:15:36,030 --> 01:15:39,680
He claims two victories against the Prussians at Lutzen
560
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:41,820
and against the Russians at Bautzen,
561
01:15:41,820 --> 01:15:44,170
but because his calvary is too small,
562
01:15:44,170 --> 01:15:46,490
he can't take advantage of it.
563
01:15:46,490 --> 01:15:49,063
Napoleon accepts a truce and moves to Dresden.
564
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:55,820
It was June 26th, 1813, and Metternich's time had come.
565
01:16:00,198 --> 01:16:04,698

(slow music)
596
01:25:14,630 --> 01:25:15,610
A few days later,
597
01:25:15,610 --> 01:25:19,203
Austria officially joins the alliance against Napoleon.
598
01:25:21,510 --> 01:25:22,640
On October 8th,
599
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,250
Bavaria leaves the Confederation of the Rhine
600
01:25:25,250 --> 01:25:27,150
and joins the enemy.
601
01:25:27,150 --> 01:25:31,260
Finally, on October 18th, the Saxon regiments change sides
602
01:25:31,260 --> 01:25:34,033
in the pivotal battle of the nations at Leipzig.
603
01:25:34,900 --> 01:25:37,863
Napoleon's entire confederation breaks apart.
604
01:25:40,070 --> 01:25:42,810
Napoleon crosses the Rhine on November 2nd,
605
01:25:42,810 --> 01:25:45,103
never again to return to Germany.

Five months later,
609
01:26:34,860 --> 01:26:37,313
Napoleon surrenders in Fontainebleau.
610
01:26:38,860 --> 01:26:40,890
The victorious powers meet in Vienna
611
01:26:40,890 --> 01:26:43,063
to create a new European order.
612
01:26:44,710 --> 01:26:46,860
The Confederation of the Rhine is replaced
613
01:26:46,860 --> 01:26:48,713
by the German Confederation.
614
01:26:49,930 --> 01:26:51,700
Prussia and Austria control it,
615
01:26:51,700 --> 01:26:54,493
exactly what Napoleon always tried to prevent.
616
01:27:01,010 --> 01:27:04,460
But traces of Napoleon's actions will remain.
617
01:27:04,460 --> 01:27:08,640
He united smaller territories into large political units,
618
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:12,083
ended servitude, and introduced religious freedom,
619
01:27:14,410 --> 01:27:17,743
and he helped to awaken a German national consciousness.

(somber orchestral music)
623
01:28:09,790 --> 01:28:11,800
A few years after their conversation
624
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,880
in Dresden, Napoleon characterized Metternich
625
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,120
as the only statesman to have existed
626
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,093
in Europe since the revolution.
627
01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,980
Metternich returned to the Marcolini Palace in 1858,
628
01:28:31,980 --> 01:28:33,933
a few months before his death.
629
01:28:35,510 --> 01:28:36,900
He wanted to visit the place
630
01:28:36,900 --> 01:28:39,453
where he faced the emperor one last time.
631
01:28:40,860 --> 01:28:43,100
In his memoirs, he honors Napoleon
632
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:46,683
{\an8}as the most amazing man who had ever come into the world.
633
01:28:47,581 --> 01:28:51,671
