Start studying about Napoleon I always remembered reading about how his father send him to the military school in France even though he was a Corsican, he because formally trained as both artillery and infantry officer. And of course his rise started at Tulon. Then the whiff of grapeshot then the actions of Italy, then the Egypt expedition, then the coup d'etat of 1799. Then after again, victorious against the Austrians and 1800 in Italy that's what cemented the path to become emporer of france. <br>Also Napoleon actually really was loved by his soldiers since Italy. And they were intensely loyal to him even though you're great respect for them. Dying men would scream "vive le emperor" as he would come by. <br>But Napoleon was a brilliant tactician and a masterful soldier. Just like his heroes Alexander and Caesar.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to when Napoleon went to Egypt and watch them come ashore, find the pyramids, burial sites and the Rosetta Stone. I think that would be amazing to go back and watch all that happen unfold. That would've been an amazing part of history to witness. As well as going back and seeing Ceasar and Caligula and their ships, empire, and just how the average person lived their day 2k years ago up until 300 years ago. It doesn't seem like much changed in that course of time, yet so much happened that it would be astonishing to see firsthand.

His legacy is not only in France, but a Dutchman, I can say our legal system, a bunch of words in our language and the last names, were all a result of Napoleon! It was not all bad stuff! And let’s face it, the alternative were the British, not much to choose those days!

Napoleon is arguably the classic example of being in the right place and time.

Phoenix is way too old for that role.  Napoleon was already in his final exile when he was the age of Joaquin Phoenix.  Napoleon's rise to power is made less stunning in being portrayed by a late middle aged man.  He was only 25 when he became a general and 33 when he became first consul.
