How Napoleon encourage his army?
He used many systems to encourage his army:
- emanated proclamations to the troops, explaining the aims of the campaign in being;
- on the eve of a major battle, he visited the camps and the bivouacs, conversing with the soldiers and sometimes he was able to recognize someone of them and the battle in which they fought;
- after a battle he visited the wounded, showing himself of being interested about their conditions; he then made introduce to him those among rank and file, who had distinguished themselves for their behaviour on the field, rewarding them with medals of merit, some money and promoting the bravest to a higher rank;
- he used to remind the soldiers that each one of them had in his knapsack the Marshal's baton, thereby making them understand the greater the courage and the spirit of initiative they would show, the higher would be the rank at which they could be promoted, regardless of the social class to which they belonged.
And it kept that promise, keeping their morale high and creating in his armies
a spirit of emulation and trust that motivated everyone to give the best of themselves.

Why is Napoleon considered to be a military genius?

How did Napoleon's hundred days end?
With Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815 and his renounce to all his rights as Emperor in favour of his son, on June 22, 1815. Twelve days later Napoleon
handed himself over to the British going on board of the HSMS Bellerophon.
Some people have stated this, for the following reasons:
- The Russian invasion utterly destroyed Napoleon's army. The biggest force he had ever mustered was irretrievably shattered in Russia. His veterans, his elite soldiers, died here in numbers he could not hope to replace. This made it possible for the Coalition to drive Napoleon into his first exile. When he returned in the Hundred Days, he resurrected what he could of the Imperial army, but too much of it was lying in Russian snow for it to be what he needed.
- Napoleon's defeat and ignominous retreat shattered the myth of invulnerability that surrounded Napoleon. Up to then, the Emperor had never lost a battle that he personally commanded (I am pretty sure on that fact). It demoralised his surviving soldiers, and more importantly, alienated his citizens. It greatly reduced his support and made it harder for him to reassemble his Empire when he returned during the Hundred Days.
After the 1812 invasion, Napoleon struggled to fight off the Allies and defend France. He showed some brilliant generalship in battles of this time, but the greatest general in the world cannot win without an army. The Russian invasion made it possible for him to be deposed once, and it was that, more than anything, that finished Napoleon. When he returned he was fated not to last long - All Europe united against him, for none could bear the thought of Napoleon ruling again.

What strategy of military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz was part of the Union's war efforts?
Military theorist had written extensively on the Napoleonic War and the military exploits of Frederick the Great.

The Union resorted to this strategy in the second half of the war.
What caused Napoleon Bonaparte to loose the war?
Historians come up with different theories (Assuming that the War at issue is the Battle of Waterloo) ranging from hemorrhoids, to constipation, to diarrhea, to dementia, to an untrained Army, to a lack of confidence, to missed communications, to errors by subordinates, to the weather, to simple things like being out Generaled by Wellington.
Some indeed may have been a factor.
Several combined could have made a difference.
The deciding factor was the competence of the individual British trooper, the long serving and poorly rewarded Non-Commissioned Officers and the junior grade officers at the front who refused to yield ground or break after repeated attacks.

Who was the greatest General outside of France in the Napoleonic wars?
There are several contenders: Prince Bagration is the only Allied commander who fought well (Against Marshal Lannes) at Austerlitz. The Archduke Charles consistently opposed Napoleon & both Aspern Essling & Wagram are to his credit. Prince Blucher too is consistant in his opposition, with poor forces generally. Kutaisov retires after giving battle at Borodino, although a defeat in reality for the Russians it dooms the French to anilhilation. The Portugese under the British Marshal Beresford, as well as Generals Hill, Murray & Graham all do sterling work in the Peninsular war: And then we arrive at the Answer: Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. The culmination of military domination of Europe at Waterloo, June 18, 1815, a 'close run thing' indeed is the final throw of the Napoleonic dice. Without Blucher it appears that the British will lose. Even allowing for Grouchys' lack of (decisive ?) action it seems to me that there are quite simply too many Prussians for the French to cope with. The British are too stoic in defence of the heights of Mont St Jean for Ney's great cavalry actions & the ground is simply too wet (& this is the main feature) for the great Napoleonic artillery weaponry to be effective. The British guns need no movement in defence. Wellington is realistic enough to state that had the Emperor been at Fuentes de Onoro he would have been defeated. (Which is not to detract from Massena) But both Marmont, who was wounded, at Salamanca, & Jourdan & Joseph (Napoleons brother) at Vittoria were not only defeated but comprehensively routed by Wellington: A so called 'Sepoy General' who couldn't attack ! And of course Waterloo is not only Napoleons last battle, it is also the final action of Wellington, and the difference between them ? Wellington does not lose a battle. Having said that there is a great deal of difference between commanding a (Great) army which Wellington had and being Emperor of France & the greatest military commander of modern history. Yes, I am a fan of Wellington, but comparison in Napoleons' 1805 campaign, Ulm & finally Austerlitz, and again Jena/Auerstadt in 1806 is difficult to envisage. Similarly the build up to Waterloo is so difficult to find fault with from the French point of view: Even allowing for the absence of Marshal Berthier (Napoleons Chief of Staff) sadly for the French the outcome was not what Napoleon desired.
