    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

        Then the chuckleheads would complain that they got some Italian guy to play him.
