Did Napoleon Bonaparte have Parkinsons?

No, Napoleon didn't have a crippled arm. Some people believe this because many of his portraits depict him with his hand held in his shirt. This was a position that many men took when their portraits were painted at that time as it was a way to show the man's good breeding. He was simply following the style of the day.


What flamboyant marshal did Napoleon place in command of his cavalry?

Napoleon Bonaparte [August 15, 1769-May 5, 1821] filled the office of Marshal of France twenty-six times during his First Empire [1804-1814]. Perhaps his most flamboyant choice to put in charge of his cavalry was brother-in-law Joachim-Napoleon Murat [March 25, 1767-October 13, 1815]. Murat was known for quick thinking and quick wit, good looks, and daring cavalry charges. For example, he managed to move cannons all the way to the center of Paris without attracting the attention of rambunctious, rampant rioters. At his execution before a firing squad, he refused to have his eyes covered, or to sit down: "I have braved death too often to fear it." His final words were, "Save my face - aim for the chest - fire!"


How did Napoleon try to save his power?

Napoleon attempted to save his power by implementing a series of reforms aimed at stabilizing France and consolidating his control. He established the Napoleonic Code, which modernized the legal system and promoted meritocracy, thereby gaining popular support. Additionally, he waged military campaigns to expand French influence across Europe, hoping that victories would bolster his legitimacy. However, his aggressive ambitions ultimately led to his downfall, particularly with the disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.

What is french pastry named napoleon?

I'm going to have to say France, because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also the king of France Emperor of France during the French and Indian War. I'm pretty sure he also sold the USA, the Louisiana Purchase. True, the cake did originate in France. But not because of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French call the cake Mille-Fueille, which means "thousand leaf." It is also called the vanilla-slice, cream-slice, and custard-slice in the UK. The cake originated from France in 1651, which was nearly 100 years before Bonaparte was even born. This clearly proves Napoleon had nothing to do with the naming of the cake, or even its origination (which is still unknown, save for where and when. As for who made it originally, no one knows).

Gaspard Monge characteristics along his biography?

LOYAL FRIEND Monge's abilities brought him to the attention of Napoleon and they were to become good friends, though he was more than twenty years older than Napoleon. In 1798, Napoleon attacked Alexandria and Monge was anxious to join in the attack. Napoleon would not allow it: after all, Gaspard was 52-years-old! Nevertheless, Gaspard left France but his boat was attacked - he defended courageously until Napoleon had to leave his main force to save his friend. Napoleon and Monge returned to France and the story goes that Gaspard had worn the same clothes for the entire trip. Monge continued to be friends with Napoleon, making himself a political victim of Napoleon's enemies - the Bourbons.
