Why did napoleon give up the hostile attitude that he had against France initially
Answers
Answer:
Napoleon was not yet 10 years old(1) when he left Corsica(2) for the first time on the 1st of January 1779 to go to the College in Autun(3), and later, on the 12th May in the same year(4), to the military school in Brienne. Granted a royal scholarship, he was to study in France(5) where, suffering existential pain and permanent melancholy, isolated and marginalized, he would retreat into his inner self in attempt to resist the hostility of his French classmates. To resist; this was his first independent action. A child in exile, dispatched by his family to a foreign country, an idealist and a dreamer, he remained a Corsican, nothing more, nothing less, and wished to remain so. “Peoples only get strength through nationality”, he was later to say(6). In 1784, in a letter to his father(7), instead of broccio or some other Corsican delicacy, Napoleon asked him to bring the History of Corsica by Boswell(8) and “other stories related to this kingdom”(9). His temperament spontaneously drew him to these dreams in prose, and the writings he asked for present Corsica as idealized, glorified, a lost paradise rediscovered. A paradise lost more than once, however.
