Which famous French landmark did Napoleon save from demolition?
Norte Dame Cathedral
Did Napoleon Bonaparte have Parkinsons?
No, Napoleon didn't have a crippled arm. Some people believe this because many of his portraits depict him with his hand held in his shirt. This was a position that many men took when their portraits were painted at that time as it was a way to show the man's good breeding. He was simply following the style of the day.
What flamboyant marshal did Napoleon place in command of his cavalry?
Napoleon Bonaparte [August 15, 1769-May 5, 1821] filled the office of Marshal of France twenty-six times during his First Empire [1804-1814]. Perhaps his most flamboyant choice to put in charge of his cavalry was brother-in-law Joachim-Napoleon Murat [March 25, 1767-October 13, 1815]. Murat was known for quick thinking and quick wit, good looks, and daring cavalry charges. For example, he managed to move cannons all the way to the center of Paris without attracting the attention of rambunctious, rampant rioters. At his execution before a firing squad, he refused to have his eyes covered, or to sit down: "I have braved death too often to fear it." His final words were, "Save my face - aim for the chest - fire!"
Why was France ready to accept an emperor for life after they had just been through a revolution?
France was completely destroyed after the revolution. None of the other European countries wanted anything to do with the violent French anymore and since the French had killed their monarchs (and about 30.000 others), and as the revolution backfired also a lot of revolutionaries, France had become rudderless and was one huge chaos. Napoleon Bonaparte took advantage, and committed a coupe, making himself the controller of France and turning it into an Empire by crowning himself emperor. France had been desperate for someone to step up with a plan how to save this bankrupt and blood drenched country, and Napoleon was the man to do it. France was exhausted of fighting and all the blood and executions. The French had to admit that their revolution was no success and they had lost all credibility to the outside world. They needed a hero and found one brave enough to take the job.

What is french pastry named napoleon?
I'm going to have to say France, because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also the king of France Emperor of France during the French and Indian War. I'm pretty sure he also sold the USA, the Louisiana Purchase. True, the cake did originate in France. But not because of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French call the cake Mille-Fueille, which means "thousand leaf." It is also called the vanilla-slice, cream-slice, and custard-slice in the UK. The cake originated from France in 1651, which was nearly 100 years before Bonaparte was even born. This clearly proves Napoleon had nothing to do with the naming of the cake, or even its origination (which is still unknown, save for where and when. As for who made it originally, no one knows).

In 1798, Napoleon attacked Alexandria and Monge was anxious to join in the attack. Napoleon would not allow it: after all, Gaspard was 52-years-old!
