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.

Whenever the British, Portuguese, Austrians, Russians or any other forces managed to capture one of Bonaparte's metal eagle standards, they would celebrate such an occasion with their own flags billowing around as well as with their cloaks and other parts of the uniform perfectly in place. This was an advent to showing as much patriotism as possible. Not as barbaric as the old placing of the heads on spikes, but it certainly drove the point across to the on watching Napoleonic armies and their allies.

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.

Bonaparte's lofty ambitions swung even higher upon victory after victory. These induced an idea of invincibility in both Napoleon's Marshalls, his ordinary soldiers as well as in himself. With emphasis on the hyphen, many a would-be Napoleon's were created in the atmosphere of unlimited possibilities that Napoleon created.

Default Napoleon's need for money and a big defeat.

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.

Charles Leclerc was the brother-in-law of Napoleon. Leclerc's wife was a younger sister of Napoleon. She still looked up to the more elder of the siblings in Napoleon and the older members of the family. The family did however insist on worthy suitors for its unwed members because of their very recent status change. Not exactly a quirk of the nouveau riche though to look for very attractive mates with respect to titles, holdings and position whenever their was a vacancy in the family tree.
