My interest in the Napoleonic Wars was actually the result of several different things. It started off with reading Jane Austen novels and progressed from there. I found I wanted to learn about the Regency period in England and, of course, the war with Napoleon was a major part of this time period. It also intertwines with my addiction with ancient Egypt and how Napoleon’s French Campaign of Egypt led to the discovery of the Rosetta stone. I then decided to research Napoleon after having to study Waterloo in school and I’ve watched several documentaries about him. Furthermore, my studies of the French Revolution and how Napoleon managed to take over the French government because of the internal conflicts also interested me. I am a history nut, though, and anything historical will probably intrigue me. ;)
