Caricature of Napoleon holding a baby wrapped in German flag colors, next to Germania in bed, with a map of fragmented German states.

Imagine a caricature illustration in the style of a 19th century political cartoon. In the center stands Napoleon Bonaparte, small in stature but with an exaggerated large bicorne hat and recognizable military uniform, looking slightly arrogant. Next to him a simple wooden bed, where the female figure "Germania" has just given birth to a baby "German nation", wrapped in cloth with black-red-gold colors. Germania is shown as a strong young woman with long flowing blonde hair and a shield leaning beside the bed with an imperial eagle symbol. Napoleon holds the newborn up like a midwife who wants to show the “new German nation” to the world, while Germania looks both exhausted and proud. In the background simple, clear classroom friendly setting: a map of Central Europe with fragmented German states behind them. Exaggerated facial expressions and body proportions, clean outlines, bright but not neon colors, easy to read at a distance, suitable for 9th grade history lessons, no graphic violence, no nudity.
