Napoleon Bonaparte II to his men after surrendering at the Battle of the Marne in 1854. The peace terms allowed his soldiers to return to France and to civilian life, but his abdication and exile were required by the Anglo-Prussian Alliance that defeated France in the Five Years War. France would be carved up, with some territory going to Belgium and Prussia, Brittany becoming an independent puppet of Britain, the north of France being turned into a Kingdom of Normandy led by a restored Bourbon monarchy (and subject to the whims of the Prussians and British in economic affairs) and southern France forming into the Republic of Aquitaine.
Napoleon II would travel to the United States with his family, and his grandson, Emile Bonaparte, would become President of the United States in 1904, and led the Atlantic Pact (United States, Brazil, Argentina) and their ally Prussia to victory against the Anglo-Austrian Alliance in the Global War, which ended in 1910 with the dissolution of the United Kingdom and the creation of a German Empire led by Prussia.
My people! One hundred years ago today, your grandparents stood here and said to the British: No more! Never again! In that act of defiance, we won ourselves a nation. Now I ask you to make the same choice - the Chinese may not have come with soldiers, but they threaten to steal our nation from us all over again. Will you honor your grandparents, or will you slink off into the silence and shadows, throwing away all they sacrificed for?
