If Napoleon died in an explosion, would he have been known as Napoleon Blownapart?

lol

nb : peoplewho don't likehimsy "Buonaparte", south pronunciation.

Today we must admit Buonaparte was NOT a good thing for NOBODY. Millions of dead people, Empire instead of democratic system.  He is so typical "french politician".

1. he is a MIG   !   yessir.

2. he kills Duke of Enghien, noble, to show Napo is revolutionary.

 3. Then he became ... first consul, why not ?

4. Then he became our Bokassa, african .... EMPEROR.

5. Then he hated ENGLAND/UK as all ours ....KINGS. with all our admirals away, emigrating, he faced UK GB on seas:

Aboukir, antipasti , then ...... TRAFALGAR.

nb truth French know nothing about their history, happy few, and tourists in London coming from France say : "funny, those english people give defeat names to their big monuments and squares".

6. He politically started to create our next biggest enemies, Germany unified, his nephew finished the job (Napoleon III, creating ...Prussian opposition) !

7.   He got the universal symbol of the biggest defeat :                                         Waterloo.

8. He brought Code Civil.

9. Thanks to him, come back of ........Kings.

Napoleon Buonaparte is not only considered sometimes as brave, he is everywhere considered as synonym of madness.

Coming soon : brave France, Charlotte Corday.... NORMANDY!

You say French know nothing about their history! You should see the fairy tale nonsense most Americans know about history! Laughing

                              133 and 134 

There is a theory today in some french intellectuals saying that if people know nothing about history, there will be ...no wars anymore.

An example is .... formerly Prime Minister JOSPIN he was a teacher before politics, in history.  He was part of "La republique des professeurs", 'cause 80% have state jobs, know how to spend money, not to win it, definition of socialists in France ( not bashing, just FACTS). 

Jospin ex history teacher , said in Chambre of deputés :

"Gambetta , this Dreyfusard" ! Pb : Gambetta died many years before Dreyfus affair, some scandal typically french we have in our peaceful and quiet country !!!!

500 deputés could testify, one said Gambetta was dead, and our beloved JOSPIN :" He could have been dreyfusard!"

Even our teacher didn't know his own history, not really serious : he kept money from preceeding job when being PMinister; Socialism in France is just for poors, to help them to get rich. Like in The voice: everybody can be a Star, or the less u work , the more u get !

35hours a week , it is the Law! unique in the world. Nothing to do with highest unemployment rate here.

France the Brave too.

nb Just facts, no politics.

A REAL BRAVE - GAMBETTA - Minister he left Paris SIEGE 1871 in a BALLOON to get help in Province, Prussians were all around, for one of the biggest defeats we knew. Gambetta's action looks like de Gaulle without UK and USA :  a desperado attempt to continue lost war.

So the money to give to Prussian was bigger, lost of Alsace and Lorraine which were in 20th century major direct cause of only two world wars. Bismarck finished to create the biggest continental european power, preparing two WW ways.

Gambetta got a real good career till 188x.

TOULOUSE, France. To lose. In our country we love Poulidor who never won Tour de France, we always gforget Anquetil, who won 5 tours. France is a woman saying to the school friend : "you are first, your mother will be so happy." Here  a loser is always a hero, we know why he lost, reasons are the Other. A winner had just luck ! Rememeber hilarious chess player saying: he won because his rating was higher ! 

New reform this year is to put history optional, minister of Education is kabyle, north Africa. French will be optional language, it is not a question , just hey try to fix the year.

For a while  ...... ARMAGNAC !

Richtig Laughing Colin!  No debate about days on strike per thousand  workers (F 132/1000  ,  Germany 65) etc .... our country is competitive even if business and executives and bankers were hated by the power. We almost avoided a "COBanks" to explain they are bad. We see soon what happend to a worker, Marc Veyrat, he created  80 jobs. In France the Brave.

I saw review of women 75 years old at work in USA, in France it ...was 60  limit  , and now they fight since Juppé 1995 about the age of retirement. Genius Mitterand decided 60, to buy votes and be elected. It worked.

XIX th century was qualified by Victor Hugo "stupid". i have no special nostalgia, except the 60's  (1960's).

How dare you! lol Wink Even a great military expert like von Clausewitz, thought Napoleon's march against Moscow was 'worth a try'. Haven't you 'played' Napoleon when you were young and wanted to make an impression on the world? Laughing

ooops ! this one want to stay with us in Continental Europ.

The other Cameron will ask if UK is in Europ or not, they really don't know since ... 1429, just fact. Reason why they drive on the left side, France, nice, on the right side.

France don't know either, if you ask is UK in Continental Europ, 49.9999 say yes, 50.1111 say "NO". the day I'll vote, with only one vote, mine I'll be THE POWER. It is democracy, folks. Actually nobody will asks us if UK isin Europ or not, frenchies don't care, they don't speak english too, don't know geography, just english gal's geography, enough to continue mankind and friendship.

Back to the topic  -    France the Brave -

France is Marianne, a woman born in 1789. But before Marianne, and two emperors, three kings more, two + world wars, one occupation, the biggest armies defeat in all-wolrd, all times, five Constituions, "only", sixth is each new praesident announced, France existed. Normandy and vikings were the bravest frenchie of all times. Before them, the 1st chief, rare in France, everybody wants to be chief, boss, khalif in kalif's place, defnition here of the vizir.

1st french could be :   VERCINGETORIX (brave..and loser!)

Afficher l'image d'origine

After Alesia battle , 52 before Jesus Christ. Brave Vercingetorix surrenders to Caesar, Roman system letting to Gaule Province romaine peace during ...400 years !

VERCINGETORIX is not only brave to face roman army (crazy plan actually= he is brave to UNIFY 50 frenchies under chiefs. Even in one tribe, Francs Saliens, each chief killed brothers to stay underchief. Dangerous times.

After Vercingetorix, 400 years of peace, no stories if no wars, we got : CLOVIS around +500

Brave Clovis : he killed 9/10 of his family to keep control. Same management tools are today some civilizations.

Vercingetorix :    Bourgogne (most exensives wines in the world).  GAULOIS, GAULE, ROMAN COLONY.

Clovis : TOLBIAC   VICTORY AGAINST ALAMANS, allemands, 

GERMANY !!!!!!!!!!!!!  (already, unbelievible, but truth !!!)

      FRANC chief of FRANCS 1st KING of -----> France.

Avatar of Pulpofeira

I love Asterix too, but Vercingetorix wasn't a French, Marco.

Avatar of FRENCHBASHER

Right ! someone follows, one!  ty Pulpo 152.

in Asterix, a famous one :

"how many were they, the enemies? 

- they were ... one, chief".  

 (because of magical drink giving force, recurrent gimmick)

We wrote "could be 1st french" , a nuance who makes french diplomatic language, different from paella language! Vercingetorix , if he won, could be 1st french. But stayd gaulois, defeated, and PAX ROMANA came 400 years, showing either you're occupied and with no wars, villain colonialist ! , either you're are free with serious odds to lose life for reedom. Freedom AND life are rare, because you have to fight and take risks to stay in life. 

IN GAULE THE BRAVE, all frenchies grand father, he is gaulois, resists to roman occupation,  both braves.
