Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Alexander I, Vol. 2 of 3: Emperor of All the Russians The pride England is gratified by the common saying that during her long war with France she with a population of fifteen millions, was opposed to the master of Europe; and many French historians go further and call Napoleon the master of the world. But in reality he had no more influence in Russia during the time he was her ally than England possessed in the dominions of Napoleon III. Russia was no more subservient to the French conqueror than England was to France during the Crimean war and her press never lent its pens in those days to a fulsome adulation of its ally. The brothers of Napoleon were seated on the thrones of Holland, Naples and Westphalia, the last kingdom being partly formed out of the ceded dominions of Prussia; and a gay young sailor speaking Corsican French, but not a word of German, was enthroned among the potentates of the Fatherland; but Alexander, if he had chosen, might have seated his brothers on the thrones of Sweden, Roumania, and Poland.
