The French Revolution - Napoleon Bonaparte Part 1 ~ The Alexander Articles

Napoleon Bonaparte: General, Conqueror, and Emperor. One of the most infamous and controversial men in history began his journey in the death throes of failed independence, and through the chaos of another greater revolution rose from obscurity to power by way of strategy and maneuver, both on the battlefield and in the halls of government. This episode Tim and Derek explore the tumultuous and bloody decade of the French Revolution. From the crowds cheering on Madame Guillotine in the Place de la Revolution to the blood-soaked fields of the Vendee, to the decrepit cold of the Italian Alps, follow us as we delve into the shattering of the foundations of an old world and the role of the man who would shepherd in a new one.

This week’s Rules are 

Every time France wins a battle- one sip

Every time someone loses their head to Madame Guillotine - three sips

Every time our main character bounces back from a seemingly career-ending turn of bad luck - shot
