    REMINDER: Napoleon wasn't French

    He was Corsican. Why do so many of you keep calling him a French Military Genius.

                      Maybe because Corsica is part of France ?????

                      Corsica is one of the 26 régions of France,
                      Just like Martinique, Cayenne, etc ...
                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                              Why should I forget ... I never said that Corsica IS France ....

                              It is just like Quebec ... it is not Canada

                              or Texas is not the USA ...

                                          The city state of Genoa held sway over the island for centuries before ceding Corsica to France in 1768 to help pay off a debt.

                                          Napoleon born in 1769.

                                              GFY is like a tabloid. They always claim to check facts but spew the biggest load of garbage

                                              Next question Alex. Can you find the fucking place on a map without gambling with a pin??

                                                              1 - Was Napoleon French or Italian (Genoese)?

                                                              On 15 May, 1768, France and Genoa signed a treaty, on the terms of which France was to take possession of Corsica and keep it until Genoa could pay back what it owed to France. In reality, France bought Corsica, spending 40 million livres. Then on 15 August of the same year an edict was passed linking Corsica to France. Certain of Napoleon Bonaparte's detractors declared that he was not French because he was born in 1768 and not 1769, and that his date of birth had been falsified, it being unthinkable that the emperor of the French not be French himself. However, no serious proof has ever been produced to challenge the accepted date of 1769.

                                                              Seems like he was born before that gay sounding place was made apart of france. therefore...he is not french by definition. only in the heart of you fairy french homos.

                                                                              Thus he is described as a French military genius for that reason.

                                                                              A better way to word it would have been "He was a great military genius of France", naming the country he represented rather than implying he was French, which as you said, he is not.

Of course his detractors are going to make up shit about him. Are you not at all familiar with politics? Find me a serious piece of evidence that the man was actually born in 1768. He was French. This thread is stupid.

Napoleon was born in 1769. Corsica is a part of France. By your logic, a Californian isn't really American because the area now known as California wasn't always part of the United States.

                                                                                                                          Thus he is described as a French military genius for that reason.

                                                                                                                          Capiche? :D

                                                                                                                          And does it matter? Between the 16th and 18th centuries in Europe there were constant wars between nations some gaining terriroty at some points and losing at others.

                                                                                                                          I'm reading The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers by Paul Kennedy right now. It's absolutely incredible how much fighting was going on in the pursuit of economic, national, and religious power and domination. I guess it's never really ended from the Habsburgs, to Napoleon, to Hitler in the 20th century.

                                                                                                                          I think of the Netherlands as a happy place full of pot smokers. Back then they were involved in so much war, lol.
