So, when I say that, you can say to me: "Yes, but Johan, you still chose the century of all wars, you deliberately took an example that shows that you are lucky to have been born in 1982". Let's do the experiment again, push a little and say: "OK. I was not born in 1882 but in 1782". There, I would have been 7 years old at the time when the French Revolution broke out and France was torn apart, literally torn apart, and when Europe was also literally torn apart, the continent was torn apart. There were a lot of wars. We are talking about the Napoleonic Wars.
the Napoleonic Wars, we are not talking about wars solely linked to Napoleon Bonaparte's desire for domination. We also talk about it in the Authentic French academy , I did a complete module on Napoleon Bonaparte, we talk about that, and we talk about it a little in the module on the French Revolution. The Napoleonic Wars are essentially the continuation of the French Revolution since there was a whole set of coalitions and these are all the kings of Europe who did not want Europe to transform into a set of republics. All the kings of Europe allied themselves to wage war on France and its revolutionaries.
So if I had been born in 1782, I would have indonesia whatsapp number data lived through the French Revolution when I was 7 years old, but I would have spent my entire youth, my adolescence and even until I was 32, since the Napoleonic Wars lasted until 1814-1815, I think it was 1814, I would have been 32, so until I was 32, I would have lived through the war. And again, there was a good chance that I would not survive all of these wars.
And it wasn't over. If I had been lucky enough to survive, it wasn't over because, once again, those who are members of the academy and who have seen the module, we made a module called "The History of France from the French Revolution to Today", the history of France since the French Revolution, we explain to you a little how everything worked. We show you the First Republic, Napoleon's Empire, the restorations, the kings who came back, the Second Republic, the Third Republic. We also talk about... besides, it's between the two, between the second and the third, the Second Empire etc. And up to the Fifth Republic, we explain a little how it all came together. It's really a fascinating story.
