May 5 marked the 200th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s death.
Following the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, Poles saw Napoleon as a possible saviour of the Polish nation. In 1807 Napoleon created the Duchy of Warsaw, a client state of France, and gave it a modern constitution, while a year later the Napoleonic Code also was instated.
Host John Beauchamp speaks to Marta Tomczak, PhD candidate from Warsaw University, about Napoleon’s lasting legacy in Poland.
In this week’s review:
- Polish president declares support for Ukraine’s EU ambitions
- Poland sees first Brazilian Covid-19 mutations
- Facemasks outdoors no longer required from May 15
