The Death of Napoleon' captures the general's final moments

Napoleon Bonaparte, the former French ruler who once ruled an empire that stretched across Europe, dies as a British prisoner on the remote island of Saint Helena in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

The Corsica-born Napoleon, one of the greatest military strategists in history, rapidly rose in the ranks of the French Revolutionary Army during the late 1790s. By 1799, France was at war with most of Europe, and Napoleon returned home from his Egyptian campaign to take over the reins of the French government and save his nation from collapse. After becoming first consul in February 1800, he reorganized his armies and defeated Austria. In 1802, he established the Napoleonic Code, a new system of French law, and in 1804 was crowned emperor of France in Notre Dame Cathedral. By 1807, Napoleon controlled an empire that stretched from the River Elbe in the north, down through Italy in the south, and from the Pyrenees to the Dalmatian coast.

Beginning in 1812, Napoleon began to encounter the first significant defeats of his military career, suffering through a disastrous invasion of Russia, losing Spain to the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula War, and enduring total defeat against an allied force by 1814. Exiled to the island of Elba, he escaped to France in early 1815 and raised a new Grand Army that enjoyed temporary success before its crushing defeat at Waterloo against an allied force under Wellington on June 18, 1815. Napoleon was subsequently exiled to the island of Saint Helena off the coast of Africa. Six years later, he died, most likely of stomach cancer, and in 1840 his body was returned to Paris, where it was interred in the Hotel des Invalides.

There is “Company” generated and distributed history of Napoleon and then there is History. His crime was the same as Hitlers. They got tired of giving their contries sweat to the Company banks and swithched systems in midstream. Instantly they became public enemy #1.
Here is an alternative view.

Check out this under 10 minute vid:

At just past 2 minutes elapsed, it explores all the folks getting pictured (painted in Nappy’s case) with their hand hidden — what kind of occult symbolism is that??

It is obvious from the picture that Napoleon had an extremely small dick … 1 to 1.5 inches, tops. This is why, probably, he failed to rise to the occasion.

The hidden hand is the clue that it is our old friends down at the global entertainment office of BS. Same/Same today with different degenerate actors.

And on what island did he die, what did he die from, before he was dug up 20 years later and transported back. (lead lined coffin does not allow putrefaction to take hold easily.)
I, in my younger, travelling days, did urinated just outside of his first resting place even though he was not home.
That place has very good Coffee, though a little expensive…. and arrogant a$$holes abound
