Napoleon Was Once Attacked by Bunnies

Bonjour, brain-havers!

Today, we dive into a historical event so ridiculous, so wildly under-taught, that it’s been buried under centuries of serious wars, dramatic paintings, and France’s eternal identity crisis over baguettes.

No, not metaphorical rabbits.
Actual. Fluffy. Hopping. Bunnies.

It’s 1807. Napoleon has just signed the Treaties of Tilsit, ending a long string of battles between France, Russia, and Prussia. The man is riding high on victory vibes.
