Fall asleep as we explore the funny (and rather boring) history of Napoleon.
He rose from a minor Corsican noble family to become Emperor of the French, reorganized half of Europe, invaded Russia, got exiled, came back, got exiled again — and somewhere in between found time to write extremely needy love letters to his wife. How did an artillery officer who finished 42nd in his class end up running an entire continent?
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
