    Of course it includes a lot of areas with people who majorly at his time didn’t even speak french. The time of the french revolution was when they ran over minorities like never before.

    I love how not even Napoleon or Hitler claimed Switzerland, even though they’re ethnic Germans/French.

  3. don’t ask for the “natural borders of germany”.

    i assume it’s a coastline. of a continent.

    The concept of the ‘*frontières naturelles*’ predates Bonaparte, and he expanded Metropolitan French territory considerably *beyond* these ‘natural’ borders.

    Now ask, what the “natural borders of Germany” are, have a look at the intersections and wonder, why Germany and France went to war so frequently in history

  6. I think Geneva would be included in this too – they annexed it as soon as they could during the Revolutionary period.

    The ‘natural borders of England’ should include at least 70% of France let’s be real..

    At least give us Normandy and Brittany (it’s in the name dude).
