Send me a message In the summer of 1794, Horatio Nelson lost the sight in his right eye on a small Mediterranean island. That island was the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. And for two years — it was British. This is the story of the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom 1794-1796. Chris Green is The History Chap; telling stories that brings the past to life.
