Epic History TV - Season 4 Episode 2 Napoleon's First Victory: The Siege of Toulon 1793
In 1793, amidst the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, France faced internal revolts and external threats, including the British occupation of Toulon, a key naval base. The inexperienced General Carteaux, with the aid of the young artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte, was tasked with retaking the city. Bonaparte, recommended by Saliceti, quickly organized the artillery, despite shortages, and proposed a strategy focusing on capturing strategic forts to bombard the Allied fleet. After initial setbacks due to Carteaux's hesitation, the professional General Dugommier took command, endorsing Bonaparte's plan. In a fierce battle, Bonaparte's leadership helped secure French victory, leading to his promotion to Brigadier General. The fall of Toulon marked a turning point for the French Republic, with Bonaparte emerging as a significant military figure, setting the stage for his future prominence.
