<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2037259, member: 24091&quot;]Napoleon III was an idiot.&nbsp; His end had as much to do with venereal disease as anything else, -not even his closest aids could trust him around their wives. Starting the Franco-Prussian War was another blot on his reign.&nbsp; But his coins are pretty cool, and he did make Paris what it is today.&nbsp; If you want learn more about him, a great book for you:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-III-His-Carnival-Empire/dp/0312018274" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-III-His-Carnival-Empire/dp/0312018274" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-III-His-Carnival-Empire/dp/0312018274</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of particular interest to some of us, the book covers Maximilian&#039;s disastrous reign in Mexico in great depth, something undertaken on a whim by Napoleon III who then bailed-out on Max and his wife.&nbsp; Max&#039;s wife then frantically searched all the courts in Europe looking for a monarch to rescue her unfortunate husband.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
