Did Napoleon say that "Europe ends in the Pyrenees"?
Napoleon said that Napoleon easily captured Madrid and destroyed Spain. Later, he thought that the Spanish royal family was weak and the Spanish army was vulnerable and could not be compared with other European countries. So when he crossed the Pyrenees on his way back to his army, he said contemptuously to his entourage, "Europe ends here", meaning that Spain is not worthy of being a European country, in order to laugh at and despise Spain.

This is a typical Napoleonic language. Pride is almost arrogant, self-confidence is almost conceited, and there is no mercy when laughing at opponents who are defeated by themselves. Napoleon's famous saying similar to this sentence is:

"Soldiers! The 4,000-year history of ancient Egypt and successive pharaohs are watching you! Let's go To conquer them! "

"I don't have my own industry. My industry is my glory and reputation! "

"All I left my son was my name!"

"Even if my empire and great achievements are completely destroyed, the glory and great history I created will still inspire thousands of young people in Qian Qian in the future! They will March in my name! "

"Many people will criticize me after I die, but that has nothing to do with me!"

"In my dictionary, there is no such word as' impossible'!"

"If there is no great achievement in life, it is better to die."
