Question

Napoleon in the given picture is depicted as a postman. What does each letter falling from his bag represent?

विकल्प

• Number of wars he fought.

• Letters he posted to the monarchs.

• Territories lost by him.

• Areas conquered by him.

Answer 1

Territories lost by him.

Explanation:

1. Napoleon is shown as a mailman in the picture to show how he was losing control of lands.
2. The letters falling out of his bag stand for the lands he lost, especially after the Napoleonic Wars when he started to lose power.
3. Napoleon lost many of the lands he had once taken over after his failed invasion of Russia in 1812 and his subsequent losses at Leipzig in 1813 and Waterloo in 1815.
4. By "delivering" the lands back to their original masters, this satirical picture makes fun of his downfall.
