Full transcript of Napoleon Was Defeated… By Bunnies
Napoleon Bonaparte — conqueror of Europe — was once defeated. Not by armies. By rabbits. It was 1807. He ordered a massive rabbit hunt to celebrate a peace treaty. His chief of staff sourced thousands of rabbits. One small problem — they were all domestic. The moment the crates opened, the bunnies didn't flee. They charged — straight at Napoleon. They swarmed his legs. His men fought them off with whips and sticks. Nothing worked. The greatest general alive was chased into his getaway carriage. By bunnies. Here's the lesson: even your greatest plans will meet resistance from where you least expect it. Adapt. Always.
