History stories Part 3:
When Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt, the Egyptian government at the time were desperate to gain his favour. In order to please him, they sent him two young, teenage girls to "do as he pleased with". Upon seeing the two girls, Napoleon was openly disgusted by this:
A) He wanted Egypt as a land of conquest.
B) He was still had affections for his wife, Empress Josephine.

As such, he promptly sent them back. Unfortunately, it would be an understatement to say that the Egyptian ministers did not get the message...



... since they sent Napoleon back two ten year old boys.
