Historical Background:

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), Emperor of France between 1804 and 1815, consolidated and instituted many of the reforms of the French Revolution. He is considered one of the greatest military geniuses in history and conqueror of the greater part of Europe. He commanded very successful warfare campaigns, although with certain similar defeats. His aggressive conquest wars became the largest military operations known until that moment in Europe, involving a number of soldiers never seen in the armies of that time. The flintlock rifles of this era had the mechanism of a flint or flint stone, which when the hammer was triggered, produced the spark that ignited the gun powder. In theory, a well-trained soldier could shoot five times per minute, but in normal combat it was a rate of two or three shots per minute.
