Tell me what what you’re favorite anecdote or fun fact from the napoleonic wars is
Mine is when during napoleons expedition in Egypt he brought along a team of scientists and Egyptologists and one thing they discovered was the “Rosetta Stone” a stone slab that had roman, ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian writing chiseled onto the stone and soon scientists were able to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs by using the Roman and Greek writings on the stone and for the first time in modern history scientists were able to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and it greatly expanded the field of Egyptology and our understanding of ancient Egypt.

Could there have been any other options besides the continental system?
Reading the effectiveness of napoleon’s continental system it is apparent that it did indeed fail to bring about economic collapse to Great Britain and bring about an end to the war.
But my question is what options could napoleon have taken aside from his continental blockade?
Because after the battle of trafalgar that ended napoleons goal to invade England for the foreseeable future. He did have a large fleet at Brest but that was being blocked by the channel fleet and other scattered squadrons of ships.
He did try to rebuild the French fleet’s but that would have taken a few years at least to try effectively counter the royal navy.
I just not sure what else he really could have done other than the continental system ineffective as it was.

Is North Korea basically a monarchy at this point?
I have been thinking about this recently and would like to know people’s thoughts on this.
North Korea touts its a a democratic republic state but its leaders have only been of the Kim family and when Kim jong un dies the leadership will go to his daughter from what I heard. So wouldn’t it make North Korea a pseudo monarchy state?
About this subreddit
Lately I have been seeing a couple of comments saying what this subreddit or is this a meme page? And no American really wants monarchy in the United States.
well for starters no it’s not a meme page. The main purpose of this subreddit is to mainly to discuss a couple of topics like monarchy, Napoleon history of those topics and whether a monarchy is possible in the United States which is understandable if you don’t think so that’s 100% fine I’m not here to persuade you I just want to know your opinion and discuss things.
To be honest I’m pretty sure why most people have joined this subreddit is because of Napoleon which is fine I don’t care 😂 I would be lying to myself thinking that you joined because you think exactly like I do.
I hope this posts clears some stuff up
Happy Mother’s Day!!!

Napoleon quote of the week 2
“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.”
I would like to preface this by saying that I would 100% love to hear your genuine thoughts on if there was a parallel universe and uncle Donnie was king how would you feel? What would your reaction be? And would you support him?
Ps I thought all those “no king” protests were hilarious 😂 especially in places like Britain where they have a king and the hypocrite dems in congress giving King Charles III a standing ovation during his speech😂
Yes apparently, just like his uncle Napoleon he was a terrible shot as well. The incident happened during his second failed coup attempt in 1840 during which Louis Napoleon ( Napoleon III) was exiled in England from his first coup attempt a couple of years before. he gathered weapons, uniforms and about 60 men chartered a ship and landed at Boulogne and tried to convince the local garrison to join there cause they didn’t and Louis napoleon and his men were quickly surrounded and during the confrontation he accidentally shot one of his fellow soldiers in the face.
Louis Napoleon and his followers were quickly arrested and he spent the next few years in prison. On 25 May 1846 he disguised himself as a worker and walked out of protest and fled back to England.
I can’t believe how quick I have to keep posting these 😂😂
It feels like yesterday we were at 25 which we were 😂 thank you!!
