Napoleon Bonaparte almost signed up for the Russian army. If it weren't for his arrogance, world history might have turned out quite differently.
A pale, thin, and emaciated 19-year-old lieutenant entered General Zaborovsky's room. He asked to be accepted into the Russian army with the same rank as that of the French army—this was against the rules laid down by Queen Catherine the Great herself. Zaborovsky is a respected and seasoned general. He could allow an exception for some French generals, but with a lieutenant, it was difficult.
Disappointed by Zaborovsky's refusal, Bonaparte left the room. In fact, he almost rushed out and shouted contemptuously, "I will enlist in the Prussian army! "The Prussian King would grant me status as a captain!".
