In this episode, we uncover one of history’s most absurd yet true stories—Napoleon Bonaparte, the brilliant military strategist, brought to disgrace not by armies, but by *rabbits*. In 1807, his chief of staff arranged a celebratory hunt, unknowingly gathering tame rabbits instead of wild ones. Rather than fleeing, the rabbits *attacked*, swarming Napoleon and even chasing his carriage as he fled. A bizarre but documented historical event, this tale proves that even the greatest conquerors can be outwitted by the most unexpected foes.
Napoleon, *outwitted* by fluffy little invaders? **TRUE**—as documented by historian David Chandler in *The Campaigns of Napoleon*. Source
