Napoleon did not conquer Europe with gold.
He conquered it with debt.

This documentary explains how Napoleon financed his wars, how the Napoleonic Wars were funded, and how debt replaced gold as the foundation of military power.

After the French Revolution, France was bankrupt.
The old tax system collapsed, inflation destroyed savings, and trust in money disappeared.
Yet Napoleon built the largest army in Europe.

This video explores:
– how wars were financed in the 18th and 19th century
– Napoleon’s war economy and military logistics
– how occupation economies funded expansion
– why debt became a tool of empire-building
– how financial systems sustain military power
– why empires collapse when economic growth stops

Rather than focusing on battles, this film examines the economic history behind the Napoleonic Wars, the role of debt, credit, taxation, and delayed payments, and how war finance shaped European history.

This is a story about:
– war economics
– financial history
– history of money
– how governments finance war
– how debt survives when empires fall
