Napoleon wanted to go to AMERICA!
Just a note. When Napoleon abdicated the 2nd time, which was in 1815, after Waterloo, he deliberately left France in order to PREVENT A CIVIL WAR.
And the destination he really wanted to go to was … America … but the problem was that he surrendered to a British Royal Navy ship, and once on board, he was later turned into a prisoner of the British thereby preventing him from going to America.
What is less known is that Napoleon was poisoned by the British. That’s something that irks me a lot. That is like the Germans who were murdered by the British.
