    Napoleon’s first language was Italian, and he spoke French with a Corsican accent. France conquered the Corsican Republic in 1768, Napoleon was born in 1769 to a line of minor Italian nobles (not that Italy was an actual thing yet)

    TL;Dr he shouldn’t have a French accent because he didn’t have one

      Was the Corsican accent closer to an American accept though? Otherwise the point still stands
