  • Notes 
    • After a period as a victorious General in the revolutionary army from 1796 to 1799, First Consul in 1799 then Emperor of the French People in 1804, Napoleon I established a hereditary imperial regime. His two-stage abdication (in 1814 and again in 1815 after the "Hundred Days") put an end to his attempt at instigating this system since his son, the King of Rome, did not succeed him.

      The Bonaparte family also gave Europe several kings or princes from among Napoleon's brothers and sisters.

      One of their children, Charles-Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte had himself elected President of the French Republic in 1848 after the revolution that ended the July monarchy. He then re-established the empire in 1852, as his uncle's heir.

      Napoleon III remained Emperor of the French People until 1870 when military defeat during the Franco-Prussian War led to his downfall and the proclamation of the Republic.

      This being so, the Bonaparte dynasty had only two members on the throne of France. At present, the claimant to the throne from the Bonaparte family is Charles Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born in 1950.
    • "Le 25 oct 1796

      Comme il va, ce jeune Bonaparte! C'est un heros, un geant, un sorcier. Il triomphe de la nature et des hommes; il a tourne les Alpes, comme si elles n'existaient pas; il a cache dans sa poche leurs terribles rochers, et il a mis son armee dans la manche droite de son uniforme. Il semblait que l'ennemi ne voyait ses soldats que lorsque il les lancait comme la foundre de Jupiter, qui semait partout la terreur et terrassait les bandes eparses des Autrichins et des Piemontais. O, comme il va! Des le premier pas dans la carriere du comandement, il a coupe le noeud gordien de latactique. Sans s'embarasser du nombre, il attaque partout l'ennemi et le bat en detail. Il connait la force irresistible du choc - et c'est tout. Ses adversaires persisteront dans leur tactique banale, soumise aux plumes des Cabinets; et lui - il porte son conseil de querre dans sa tete. Il est libre dans ses operations, comme l'air qu'il respire; il marche, il agit, il triomphe au gre de ses desirs. Et tendis que le monde europeen et la tactique se renouvellent, je lanquis dans un lache repos, je succombe sous le poids d'une vie inactive et oisive. Voici ma conclusion: tant que le General Bonaparte conservera sa presence d'esprit, il sera vaiqueur; les grandes combinaisons de l'art militaire lui sont echues en partage. Mais si pour son malheur il s'elance dans le tourbillon politique, s'il rompt l'unite de la pensee - il se perdra."

      A letter by Souvorov to his nephew - Prince Gorchakov.

    • "Bonaparte was a lion in the field only. In civil life, a cold blooded, calculating unprincipled usurper, without a virtue; no statesman, knowing nothing of commerce, political economy or civil government, and supplying ignorance by bold presumption."

      Thomas Jefferson July 1814.

      • "Canned" food - Nicholas Appert won a prize from the French government in 1809 of 12,000 francs for developing a method of preserving food using heat for use of the French Army and Navy. In a typically French fashion peas, beans and vegetable soup were first preserved in glass champagne bottles. Setting up the world's first bottling plant in 1807, Appert preserved such food as asparagus, meats, gooseberries and prunes. As Napoleon was reputed to have said, "An army travels on its stomach."
      • Beet sugar - Because of England's command of the sea lanes, France was cut off from the traditional West Indies sources for sugar cane. Napoleon offered a large prize for a commercially viable method to extract sugar from beets.
