Recap by Tammy AI
Dumas's father was an officer in Napoleon's army, I want to say he was big in the Egypt campaign, so no surprise his wee lad used him in the Count of Monte Cristo
Good to see it back. Although it was briefly mentioned when Napoleon invaded Russia, the comparison gets made of Nazi Germany suffering the same fate is a bit of a myth that they were not broken by winter. Poor logistics definitely was a factor though which was exacerbated by winter
It should be worth saying that Napoleon isn’t from a Wealthy family, he’s dirt poor which is why he has to go to military school etc. he changed the laws so that ranks were based on experience and not on what family you came from. The French Revolution was all about removing inherited power based on birth right
Wasn’t dirt poor by any means, don’t know where you got that from. Definitely had a chip on his shoulder but he came from a family of minor nobility and certainly wasn’t poor.
You can't let Shane run point on mythstories. It's the verbal equivalent of an amphetamine dosed mouse lurching from cheese to cheese, desperate to escape the maze.
So happy that this is back. Love listening to these two chatting shit about anything
Delighted to see this back 👌
The banter is great but as a history geek I prefer when Ciaran is the one sharing the history content
Buzzing this is back for a second series well done boys 😁😁
