Abstract

The irruption of the French Army in October 1806 to the German city of Jena is still a curious fact and full of interest for a meta-historical-philosophical analysis. That same day, in a workshop, a young private teacher watched as the Commander-in-Chief of said Army bursts into the plains, defeats the proud Prussian Army and enters the city victorious. Said professor wrote to a friend: “I have seen nothing less than history itself on horseback. Yesterday I saw Napoleon: in him the spirit of the world is embodied. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to observe such an individual, who, concentrated here in a single point, spreads out over the world and masters it”. The admiration and hope generated in a person by the irruption of an enemy in his country for the future of his country is, without a doubt, a new precedent in the world. Despite the Napoleonic invasion and political divisions, something held the Germanic peoples of central Europe together. This union went beyond facing a common enemy. This union would be strengthened in a few more years, until achieving full unification.
