Thank you Stegiel, I'm immensely grateful for this post. 1. "Refresher" on this bloody period of the French history was led to by my contemplating and comparing Hitler to Napoleon (tbh its way over my cognition but I can't help myself) although it seems I can comprehend what I'm reading just fine, it is thinking of those events in the context of wider human history that does "my head in" (still, I enjoy the mental gymnastics). 2. I absolutely had no idea of any of what you have presented here and, I'm absolutely sure that if I had ever came across it in my past ( more serious studying times) I would have remembered.

So this is why I'm so happy about this post. Bonus: contemplating how it corresponds with our current circumstances. Thank you 😊
