    1. The 1850s were a wild time in the US.
    2. Mao Zedong was too toxic for the Communists (also killed 45,000,000 of his people)
    3. For those who don't know, Marshal Louis Berthier was called ,,Napoleon's wife'' due to constantly being with Napoleon as his chief of staff, all the way from Italian campaign in 1794 to first abdication in 1814. He is also regarded as one of the best military and operational organisers in history.
