Napoleon Bonaparte: Elba Island
built 222 days ago
Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 in Ajaccio on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. Corsica is part of France. Napoleon came from a large family. He had the nick name of "Le Petit Corporal" - or the Little Corporal.

Napoleon settled down to a life of routine. He got up late, breakfasting about 10 AM, but seldom went out. He was free to go anywhere on the island so long as he was accompanied by an English officer, but he soon refused to comply with this condition and so shut himself up in the grounds of Longwood. He wrote and talked much. At first Las Cases acted as his secretary, compiling what was later to be the Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène (first published in 1823). From 7 to 8 PM Napoleon had dinner, after which a part of the evening was spent in reading aloud—Napoleon liked to hear the classics.

The allies exiled Napoleon to St. Helena, which is an island in the middle of the Atlantic (or somewhere around there). On this island a bunch of commies tried to brainwash Bonaparte with Gerard Way's dulcet tones. This time, the whiny liberals were told to stuff it, and Napoleon didn't get any military units to play with, not even his plastic army men, which he so dearly loved to blow up with fireworks. They didn't even let him bring his Risk™ board, either, even though nobody plays Risk™ on St. Helena. This left him with absolutely nothing to do, except pacing, counting the dots on the ceiling tiles in his bedroom (69,105), and scrimshaw. They ... took away his platform shoes, which meant he had to go back to moping about his shortness.

On April 6, Napoleon abdicated in favor of his son. When the allies refused to accept this, he made his abdication unconditional on April 11. He then was exiled to the island of Elba, where he was given sovereign power and introduced administrative, economic, and political reforms.
