Napleon, Hitler and a Russian Winter

Oh the french will have your head from that, (Ironically he was Italian)

born in a french territory. what more do you need?

napoleon was french.

Corsica was personal territory of the French king at the time of Napoleon's birth. The Genoans handed Corsica over to the French one year before his birth. And in May 1769 the Corsicans lost the battle of Ponte Novu and France gained control of the island.

Of course. Still he was born in French territory was recorded as a French citizen

Still napoleon was recorded as a French citizen

Doesn't matter was he born week after the island got in to French hands or day after.

Napoleon spoke better Italian then French, he was born of Italian parents. The only thing that makes him a French citizen was Corsica become a part of France a year before his birth.

SO? If somebody who doesn't speak Finnish, doesn't have Finnish parents etc etc born here in Finland he is still a finnish citizen
that applies also to napoleon

Napoleon was known under his birthname Napoleone di Buonaparte until his twenties...

Wasn't slavery abolished after the French Revolution, but reintroduced during Napoleon's reign?

D3adtrap, you are making no sense.

I did. It was a shitty analogy. Try to make more sense.

Napoleon would have been French only by a register. Everything else was Italian. It just depends on what he preferred to call himself.

It's difficult to portray sarcasm through text. It may sound good in Finnish, but it's confusing in English.

hehe well citizen applications was the same in France as its now
He was both Italian in culture French legally
meaning napoleon was French
if he was marked French!

do you mean "well citizen applications was the same in France as its now"
Yes born in French territory gave you French citizenship. But your parents had to have lived in France at least a little while before you birth to be accepted as a French citizenship
(well yea it is different from us now, but the fundamental idea is not)
