As the emperor of France, why can't you speak the language of your country well?

Why Napoleon can't speak French well is a question that many people want to ask. I will give you detailed answers below.

European monarchies in modern history are very interesting. Sometimes a king or emperor is not a native at all, and often pulls a foreign relative down as king when his royal family has no heir. Sometimes the king or emperor is a native, but he doesn't know his own language at all! For example,/kloc-France, the famous Napoleon in Europe in the 9th century, was very poor. When he was exiled to the Atlantic Ocean after his defeat, his French spelling still had many mistakes! Then why didn't Napoleon, as the emperor of France, speak his own language well?

Speaking of this question, I have to mention the historical origin of Napoleon's birthplace Corsica and France! Corsica, Napoleon's hometown, is a relatively large island in the Mediterranean. It did not belong to France before 1768. But in 1768, due to the chaos in Corsica, the authorities sold the control right to France at a low price. France, a colonial country, certainly welcomes such a good thing and immediately sends troops to receive it. Napoleon's father was a noble officer in Corsica. He rose up against the landing of the French army, but his arm couldn't reach his thigh. After the failure of resistance, he admitted the occupation of the French army and became a French citizen. A few months later, Napoleon was born, so Napoleon became French, with a time difference of several months. If the French army invades again in a few months, it will be a question whether Napoleon is a hero of France!

Corsica's position

The key is that Corsica does not use French as the main language. Napoleon lived here for more than ten years, so French is not strictly Napoleon's mother tongue. Napoleon refused to recognize France as a teenager and was determined to drive the French out of Corsica. From these, we can understand that Napoleon's French is not so good! Napoleon's father was originally a pivotal figure in Corsica, and later he was made an aristocrat by the French king, so Napoleon was well influenced by the military in the family environment of an aristocratic officer! He later created a miracle in the history of world war with his outstanding military talent, so his idea of making Corsica independent gradually disappeared! He also gradually recognized France, because his wars and struggles were for the benefit of France. Even when he was crowned emperor in the Great Revolution, he was respected and loved by France.

But in fact, it doesn't matter what language Napoleon spoke. He is respected not only by the French, but also by his opponents. Napoleon's achievements are undeniable. His war defeated the last feudal forces in Europe!
