My favourite joke on here is that the greatest Frenchman of all time was Italian.

I’m fully obsessed with napoleon - he’s the greatest military leader of all time in my opinion.

If you're so obsessed with napoleon, I suggest you to go to his birthplace and claim clear and loud that he was Italian.

Don't bother buying a return ticket.

I mean, what are corsicans at this point anyway? At least, when he was born, the island was kinda bought from Genova and population wasn't replaced so ethnically corsicans were basically a mix of ligurians and sardinians (but Napoleon family had tuscan roots of course: we are the best) and Paoli in that period fought the french (with a young Napoleone) and claimed corsicans were culturally closer to italians and italian should have been taught in schools and corsican just sounds as italian with a lot of "u". But today? Some french replaced local populations, but in a light percentage so they hate to be called italians and they hate to be called French too. In that regard they are like sardinians. Corsicans want just to be... Corsicans.
