Pasquale Paoli was a general who liberated most of Corsica from the Genoans, then lost it to France.
His father Giacinto Paoli had fought the Genoans, and both were in exile in Naples, even serving in the Neapolitan army, before he returned and led the Corsican government before he renewed his war against Genoa.
The French were invited by Genoa to protect the fortifications, so Paoli didn't fight them, but after the sale he continued the struggle against France.
