Eulogy Of Napoleon Bonaparte

Improved Essays
Today I was able to meet my love, Napoleon Bonaparte. I created a time machine, which took months of planning and money, but I made it so. I traveled back to the year of 1815, when Napoleon had his last 100 days of rule. This was the most pressing time for Napoleon. I would love to be by his side when he landed in France from St. Elba Island and took back France from Louis XVIII. I would love to see how he reunited the population once again, to take on the monarchies of Europe. I went along with Napoleon and told him to attack the Duke of Wellington much quicker and ensure that his forces were united. I told Napoleon to attack Blucher’s army first, before Wellingtons as Bluchers was much smaller. Napoleon was victorious against the Prussians.
