Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

This means the Pichegru and Moreau plot. The subsequent murder, or sorry, completely legal execution of the young prince of the house of Bourbon-Conde. "It is worse than a crime, it is a blunder." This all hastens the inevitable - the crowning of Napoleon as Emperor.
It is as Emperor that Napoleon goes out to smash the armies of the Two emperors (Czarand Kaiser) at Austerlitz. Though Napoleon has quite the assist from Franz Weyrother.
