the napoleonic wars truly were the first example of war propaganda
First Napoleon himself used it, then the brits against it with the short/don't bath for weeks/angry conqueror
The satyre comics from back then are pretty funny

>>848027
Mostly Anglos.

Yeah, realize that most men and countries of the 19th and early 20th centuries that have bad reputations also tended to be ones who Britain felt posed the biggest threats to its attempts to keep continental Europe weak.

Funny how that works.

Basically this

It has nothing to do with how many wars you start.

Agreed, quality over quantity. What's more impressive, someone who have slept with 100 girls or someone who spent a night in Megan's foxhole?

After seeing this word beaten to death and robbed of all meaning in the past year it's pretty funny to see a real example.

what did he mean by this?

Bet you to 2 to 1 it's actually an open relationship on both ends.
>>
>>848001

Just because he didn't "start" that many wars doesn't mean he didn't catalyze them.

Britain declared war on Germany in WWII, but that doesn't mean that Britain was the aggressor, just the one who sent the declaration of war. Napoleon clearly desired to conquer as much as possible (consider his Egyptian campaign, which was half just to satisfy his stiffy for Alex da Great), and it was reasonable to declare preemptive war on him.

Don't forget, Nappy spent some time wanting to invade England, and even wrote about the difficulties in doing so and potential ways to surmount those difficulties.

Britain declared war because Germany was invading an ally.

Napoleon did nothing hostile to provoke Britain's declaration of war in 1803. He also wasn't planning an invasion before that point, otherwise he would have already set up preparations near Calais like he did after the war began.

Unless you think that wanting to invade someone because they're constantly blocking your trade, attacking your ships, funding your enemies, convincing empires to attack you, and support dissent in your provinces is unjustified. In that case you're view is okay.
