Which Island Was Napoleon Born On?
Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the island of Corsica. Corsica is located in the Mediterranean Sea, southeast of mainland France and west of Italy. Napoleon was born on August 15, 1769, in the city of Ajaccio, which is the capital of Corsica. At the time of Napoleon’s birth, Corsica was under the control of the Republic of Genoa, but it was later sold to France in 1768, just a year before his birth.
