Explanation: Prussia, getting rather irritated at Napoleon's meddling in its sphere of influence in Germany, declared war on France without consulting its allies or making a deeper plan than "Fight Old Boney" in 1806. In the past decade, France had already thrown back several massive coalitions that had been arranged against it, and Napoleon himself had delivered a crushing blow to the Third Coalition consisting of most of the major powers of Europe just a few years before.
... Napoleon destroyed the entire Prussian army and took the country inside of three weeks.
I more want an explanation of the photo lol
You know how sometimes you're super full after a big meal and you want to take a snack for later in the day but you don't want it to get stale so you leave it in the original wrapper? Same thing.
