Approximate Route that Napoleon took from Elba to Paris in 1815:

Includes alleged newspaper article titles recounted by Alexandre Dumas.

I’ve never read any of Dumas’ books, but was he mildly obsessed with Napoleon? All the time I see stuff he wrote about him. He wrote a whole thing detailing the Paris apartment Napoleon lived in during the early 1790s. He wrote plays about him, included him in his books, and even researched newspaper titles about him.

"Crimean Khanate at 4 points in time. Orange filling = Crimea 2nd half of the 15th century Yellow border = changes by the end of the 15th century (Ottoman Intervention) Green border = by 1550 Blue border = by 1600 (first fully bordered to be taken with a grain of salt)" - 27.01.2022 "I actually had more sources but just didn't bother adding more layers to it. Some places especially along the coast only got a yellow border - it didn't change unless painted over. It did not have defined borders in most areas until very late." - 27.01.2022 "also mind you not all Crimean Tatars lived in the khanate, especially westwards there were people living formally speaking under other political entities. (only formally because at least for those that were nomads there are no borders)" - 27.01.2022
