How did Corsica, Napoleon's birthplace, upset the French?
Because Napoleon was a talented man at that time, he was dissatisfied with France's belonging to Corsica, so it had a great shock to France. Napoleon not only upset the French, but also brought them a lot of development.

Corsica originally belonged to the Italian Republic of Genoa, but Genoa was sold to France in 1768. Because Genoa almost lost control of Corsica, frequent anti-Genoa movements made the situation in Corsica turbulent for a long time. 1755, Kojima's national leader Pauli established the Republic of Corsica, which pushed the anti-Genoese atmosphere to a climax. The defeated Genoa saw that the pressure was hopeless, so it used the "waste heat" of several coastal towns to throw this hot potato to France. At this time, although France under the leadership of Louis XV was at the end of feudal autocracy, its military strength was still sufficient to deal with stragglers and irregulars. In just a few weeks, Corsica's resistance was put out, and Corsica was incorporated into France on 1768. The following year, an era that was repeatedly celebrated was born on the island. This is Napoléon Bonaparte.

Napoléon Bonaparte was born in ajaccio, Corsica on 1769. At this time, Corsica only belonged to France for about a year. He is the second child, with an older brother Joseph, and later three younger brothers and three younger sisters. This is the situation of Napoleon's family. Napoleon, 27, was appointed commander-in-chief of Italy, hoping to crush the external military threat voluntarily. Repeatedly defeated the elite of the Austrian army, the money sent from the front line reached 5 1 10,000 francs, helping the financially strapped governor to temporarily solve his urgent needs.

The rise of Napoleon in the French Revolution pushed France to an unattainable height. In fact, Napoleon had a long-cherished wish to promote Corsica's independence. After graduating from the Royal Military Academy in Paris, he was active in Corsica. At that time, his ambition was to drive France out like Pauli, the national leader of Corsica, and even he was dissatisfied and resentful of his father's submission to the conquerors at that time. It was only later that his historical achievements that shocked the world made him no longer satisfied with Corsica's independence.
