Materials for the manufacturing of gunpowder were getting scarce after Napoleon's many campaigns and their battles. The French had to scour new areas and come up with new ways of creating gunpowder which indirectly led to the discovery of iodine. This hatched another struggle about who would get the credit of the discovery of this new chemical element. |

It would have been a taboo for Napoleon to move into the King and Queen's palace at Versailles especially since he was trying to sell a certain amount of democracy in Napoleonic France. It would have been a social faux pas. He could still have some swash by putting up a new palace to rival the one of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. There was still the threat of the social dropsy where all the power settles in a certain limb. Here, of course, it was with the army of Napoleon.

Louisiana Purchase
Napoleon's plans for an expanding empire in the New World never got past the larva stage because of the whimsy of fate in placing a man on the prowl much like Bonaparte-- TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE-- in a place he needed to keep on a steady keel. No social change could be tolerated. L'Ouverture's leadership certainly took a plume out of the hat of Napoleon's brother-in-law Charles Leclerc who had Bonaparte's agency in Haiti. |
