I LOVE DEAD GUYS

@gabrielferaud / gabrielferaud.tumblr.com

Things that I like, primarily reblogs. The history of Napoleon and coalition wars, chess, chess history, classical lolita fashion.

Still frame from WikiLeaks "Collateral Murder" video, captured moments before U.S. helicopter pilots would go on to kill civilians and journalists in Iraq in 2007 while casually joking about it. Whistleblower Chelsea Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison, none of the perpetrators were charged

just saw someone use napoleon as an example of "left wing antisemitism" like theres a lot to get through with this statement 😭

People will just say anything nowadays

How does one achieve this though???

i do not know, probably zionist brainrot... but like left wing napoleon really ? He, the imperialism man, left wing ?

Not Zionist brainrot— I think the much more common Zionist perspective would be that Napoleon was a pioneer to their cause, because of his (alleged) interest in establishing a Jewish state in what is now Israel/Palestine:

(I’m sharing a common Zionist perspective on Napoleon, not endorsing it)

i love how every time tigran petrosian is mentioned on reddit, pipi in your pampers gets brought up, imagine naming your kid after someone and then your kid does something so embarrassing that it messes with the other guy’s legacy

"...the Austrian army ... carried most of the burden of the war on land. Though repeatedly defeated, it always rose again..." 

Just some more Austrian Empire uniforms.

Anonymous asked:

According to wikipedia, Napoleon had an affair with Madame de Vaudey. So far every source I read has different explanations of the affair, and it's driving me crazy. Do you have any information?

Never heard of her and I would like to know about it.

oh, I remember reading about the confrontation between Napoleon and Josephine that was caused by their affair, always felt bad for her because it seems like she was forced to stop working for Josephine because of an affair that she was never in a position to say no to in the first place
