I have been to Les Invalides and seen where Napoleon I is buried. The military museum there is also very impressive. As an aside, Napoleon III's son went with the British Army to fight in the Zulu War in 1879 and was killed in combat.

INCORRECT! *Napoleon conquered Moscow and occupied it* to stay warm for a very cold winter before starting out back for France. Why don't you go read about it? As for Napoleon, Napoleon did what Hitler could not -- conquer Moscow. The jacking around with subjugating the Balkans first cost himself valuable weeks that he could've put to better use taking Moscow, or at least taking part of the city to ride the winter out warmly with.

Some years ago, I took my mother to Paris and at the Trocadero I posed her in just about the same spot that Hitler stood in that famous shot you see in the thumbnail. We reminisced a little about her wartime experiences, touched on some of the moments that almost ended her life, being just a teen during the occupation and the amazing good fortune she had to make it through those years. I pointed out that Hitler stood just about where she was now and despite all the German's efforts, 70 years later, she was still around and able to stand in that exact same spot. She will be turning 100 in a few months time and it makes me proud that after everything she went through, hopefully she will see that milestone. If anyone deserves it, she does. I have to make sure I fill in the blanks of her wartime experinces as a testiment to her life. Bless you mum. ❤

@@Bastille9513 De Gaulle wanted France to lead a united Europe, independent of United States influence. Great Britain preferred closer ties with Washington against the Soviet Union. For this reason, De Gaulle continually rebuffed Britain's entry into the European Common Market (now the European Union) throughout the 1960's. It was not until 1973, three years after De Gaulle's death and four years after he had resigned as French president, that Britain was finally admitted to the Common Market (only to withdraw in 2016).

There's a theory that Napoleon's look-alike brother Joseph may have secretly exchanged places with Napoleon, before his final exile to St. Helena Island in the south Atlantic. Joseph was once made King of Naples (1806-1808) & later King of Spain (1808-1813). The person known as "Joseph" later secretly immigrated to the U.S. and lived in a mansion in Bordentown, New Jersey, NE of Philadelphia, PA. At the time, "he" was influential in "high society" & foreign relations with France, and may have socially interacted with the wealthy DuPont family in the nearby State of Delaware. The DuPont Company was famous for producing gunpowder & later a licensed maker of Alfred Nobel's dynamite. Of course, Napoleon I was the one involved with U.S. President Thomas Jefferson in the 1803 $15 million "Louisiana Purchase" sale of 828,000 sq. miles of land.

@@2adamast Sorry, don't have a year date for when the British went looking for a possible Napoleon in the U.S., although it was likely later than the War of 1812-1815. There was no available forensic method by which the British could have determined for certain whether the person living at the Bordentown, New Jersey mansion was Napoleon vs. Joseph Bonaparte, given enough intentional secrecy.

I’m genuinely surprised of two things. First Mark hasn’t covered the French popular party as in the French fascist party yet. The second for how much Napoleon Bonaparte’s family was involved in France during World War Two.
