Hello Great Minds!
For the first time this season, I managed to get a Great Mind released on time, so Happy Tuesday!
Napoleon III is a figure who did the unthinkable! He was one of the most influential figures of the nineteenth century world. He ruled in the days of Lincoln. He rose from obscurity to the heights of greatness... Yet, most don't even know that I am not talking about Napoleon Bonaparte!
Napoleon III was a man with a vision. A modern man in a constantly changing age. A Great Mind that aimed to reignite the Golden Age that his uncle, that is Napoleon Bonaparte, started, but he was not a man of ruthless and bloodthirsty conquest… most of the time.
"Le Petit," Louis Napoleon, the President and Emperor of France, may just be the Great Mind that fell the hardest this season, but I guess you'll have to listen to find out how...
Key Topics: Second French Empire, 19th Century France, Victor Hugo, 1848 Revolutions
Cheers!
