Epic History TV’s second Napoleonic Wars compilation continues the story from 1809, with Napoleon triumphant once more over Austria. But the situation in Spain, where French forces battle a national revolt as well as Wellington’s small British army, continues to deteriorate. While worsening relations with Russia will draw Napoleon into a disastrous invasion, from which his Empire will never recover.
