 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most well-known military leaders in history. He was a master of strategy and conquered many territories during his time as Emperor of France. However, Napoleon was much more than just a military leader. He was also a talented writer and enjoyed spending time with his family. However, Napoleon’s life was not without controversy. Here are some interesting facts about Napoleon that you may not have known!

Napoleon’s Early Life

He was originally named Napoleone Buonaparte, but he later changed how he styled his name. Napoleon was born on August 15, 1769, in Corsica. His father was a minor nobleman who had fought in the French Revolution. When Napoleon was young, his family moved to France, where he would eventually attend military school and begin his career in the military.

Napoleon Was a Talented Writer

Not many people know that Napoleon was a talented writer. He wrote a novella called Clisson et Eugénie, which was published in 1796. It was a love story about two characters named Clisson and Eugénie, and many believe it was based on Napoleon’s own love life. Some have argued that Napoleon was influenced by the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, particularly “La Nouvelle Héloïse” (1761), written during his exile in Switzerland, where he developed many ideas related to romanticism.

Napoleon Bonaparte Inspired the Term “Napoleon Complex”

The term “Napoleon complex” is used to describe a person who is short in stature and has an inferiority complex as a result. It’s characterized by overly aggressive or domineering social behaviour, where you feel the need to be superior at everything and possess all that someone else has even though it may go against your own values. This term was first used to describe Napoleon Bonaparte, who was said to be short. Napoleon’s short stature did not hold him back, as he compensated for it by seeking power and war. He led France to many victories in these fields throughout his reign (and those before).

Some Believe Napoleon Wasn’t Actually Short

Even though the term “Napoleon Complex” was coined after Napoleon Bonaparte, historians believe Napoleon was actually of average height. Napoleon Bonaparte was often surrounded by tall soldiers, so he looked short-statured in comparison. At the time of his death, he measured 5 feet 2 inches in French units, the equivalent of 5 feet 6 inches (1.68m) in modern measurement units.

His Wife Josephine Was a Controversial Figure

Josephine was imprisoned and scheduled for execution, but when the Reign of Terror ended, Josephine was released from prison. Josephine Bonaparte was Napoleon’s wife and Empress of France. She was a talented woman in her own right and helped Napoleon with his campaigns and with running the government. However, their marriage was not without controversy. Josephine was unfaithful to Napoleon, and he had several affairs of his own.
