Napoleon: Why is it controversial to mark 200 years since the French military leader s death?

Napoleon may be the most recognised French historical figure worldwide but he is also one who remains somewhat controversial. Wednesday (May 5) marks 200 years since the death of the emperor and revered military strategist aged 51 in exile on the British island of Saint Helena. His death, much like his life, has become a subject of fascination, inspiring art and folklore. French President Emmanuel Macron is set to mark the anniversary with a speech a difficult exercise that other politicians have in the past eschewed. One of Macron s predecessors, Jacques Chirac, controversially did not mark the bicentennial of Napoleon’s Austerlitz victory in 2005.
