Pasquale Paoli was born in 1725 in Stretta, in the municipality of Morosaglia, Corsica. His father, General Giacinto Paoli, was a kind of prime minister in the short-lived Kingdom of Corsica under King Theodore I of Corsica and, in 1739, went into exile in Naples with his youngest son, Pasquale. In 1755, Paoli returned to Corsica as a 30-year-old ensign in the King's Corsican Guard and, as commander at the head of the Corsican guerrillas, fought the Genoese. He succeeded in expelling them from the interior and entrenching them in a few port cities.
