what is your favourite history fact?

1) Napoleon was a big fan of fax machines.

2) the pyramids were older to the Ancient Romans than the Romans are to us now.

3) One of the oldest pieces of written language is a complaint about a huckster.

4) The Antikythera

5) "Sea People" came and wiped out a lot of ancient cultures. Obviously they weren't all Atlanteans but what if right!?

Alfred Tidey (British, 1808-1892) The Music Party, n.d. The key person in this painting is the dark-haired woman hiding at the rear. She is Lucia Elizabeth Balcombe, who was known to her friends and family as Betsy. Betsy was born in the United Kingdom in 1802, the younger daughter of William Balcombe, a British East India Company and colonial administrator. In 1814, Betsy's family returned to Saint Helena. There they resided in a cottage called ‘The Briars’. The British East India Company had long held a Royal Charter over Saint Helena, the small volcanic island in the South Atlantic to which Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled by the British Government. When the Emperor and his entourage arrived in 1815, Napoleon’s residence, Longwood House, had not yet been refurbished. Consequently, for two months he was housed in a pavilion near to ‘The Briars’ (the house of the Balcombe family). Although Betsy was fearful of Bonaparte the first time they met, over time, the 13 year old girl and the 47 year old emperor became friends. The French officers and servants were jealous of the young English girl, who addressed Napoleon as “Bony” without being reprimanded by him. In March 1818, the Balcombes left St. Helena and went back to England. She remained in contact with the Bonaparte family all her life.

All the people with hyper-fixations on the Napoleonic wars and all the people with hyperfixations on Soviet history (me) should team up and become one insufferable person

VANESSA KIRBY at the premiere of “Napoleon” on November 14th 2023 in Paris wearing ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

I'm always impressed by Vanessa's style and red carpet choices, but this look really wowed me. The dress is just so interesting, and really highlights Vanessa’s frame. I really liked the sharp neckline. The gold details looked absolutely phenomenal against the black dress, and Vanessa just looked like a bombshell. Absolutely beautiful look.

Napoleon's Most Unusual Defeat: The Day He Fled from Rabbits

🐇🐇🐇

Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history's most formidable military commanders, faced an unexpected and rather fluffy enemy in July 1807.

Following the signing of the Treaties of Tilsit, which marked a significant diplomatic success with Imperial Russia, Napoleon decided a celebratory rabbit hunt was in order.

His chief of staff, Alexandre Berthier, was put in charge of organizing the event. Berthier reportedly procured a large number of rabbits for the hunt, with some estimates suggesting several hundred, perhaps even up to three thousand.

However, the hunt took a bizarre turn. 🥕

When the cages were opened, the rabbits, instead of scattering in fear as wild game would, turned and charged directly towards Napoleon and his distinguished hunting party.

It turned out these were not wild rabbits. Berthier had sourced domesticated rabbits, likely from local farmers. These animals were accustomed to human presence and associated people with being fed.

The sight of the Emperor and his men, to this horde of bunnies, signaled an impending meal rather than danger.

The hunting party, armed with little more than riding crops and sticks, found themselves unexpectedly besieged. The sheer volume of advancing rabbits quickly overwhelmed the men.

Napoleon, the master strategist and conqueror of vast European territories, was forced into an undignified retreat. He scrambled back to his imperial carriage for safety, with some of the more audacious rabbits reportedly even managing to leap inside with him. 🐇

This rather comical "defeat" was later attributed to Berthier's unfortunate decision to use tame, food-expectant rabbits instead of their wild counterparts for the emperor's recreational hunt.

The incident remains a curious and often amusing anecdote in the otherwise imposing narrative of Napoleon Bonaparte's life and career.

José María Casado del Alisal (Spanish, 1832-1886) La rendición de Bailén (de la Tradición y de la Historia), 1864 Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid

The painting represents the capitulation of the French army to the Spanish troops after the first major defeat suffered by the invader in the vicinity of Bailén (Jaén), on July 19, 1808. Francisco Javier Castaños (1756-1852), captain general of Andalusia and head of the Spanish troops, and General Pierre-Antoine Dupont de l`Étang (1765-1840), commander-in-chief of the Gironde Observation Corps and one of Napoleon's greatest strategists, with the purpose of setting the conditions of surrender. Castaños, at the head of the Spanish army, made up of regular soldiers and local guerrillas, respectfully and with a friendly gesture greets the defeated Frenchman, removing his bicorn hat while bowing in courteous reverence. For his part, Dupont, with a serious and proud attitude, responds to this gesture by opening his arms in a sign of complete surrender, declaring himself a prisoner after handing over his sword - until then undefeated - to the Spanish general.
