I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.

I don’t know where this guy was from, but the Canadian accent is not very much different from the American one. The only place where i can think of is Quebec (which has a very “ugly” French accent - as opposed to the “pretty” Parisian French accent). The Maritimes have their own accent as well, but these people are more . . . hmmmm . . . friendly and likeable.
