    About the image:

    They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!

    Explanation: After the French Revolution, the old monarchies of Europe were very invested in crushing the French, to ensure no ‘dangerous’ revolutionary ideas took permanent root.

    France, both before Napoleon and under Napoleon, fought off the entire continent, essentially. Multiple times.

    If Napoleon was alive and the ruler during WWII, some interesting battles may have developed when the Germans invaded.
