Is there a more interesting & influential leader in world history than Napoleon?
>>81362780
Napoleon was maybe a dictator, but he was such a genius that you couldn't be against him if you lived in France
>>81362780
as french I would say Napoleon was awesome. Charlemagne was too.
I would add in my personal favorite : Julius Ceasar
>>81362956
I heard that in votes for him, the amount of total people voting was lied about but the actual votes to make him consul for life / emperor were overwhelmingly in his favor.
Then again it wasn't a secret ballot so maybe people were scared.
Still, he was only exiled to islands. Twice. By his enemies! Maybe even they didn't hate him so much.

And today we have Hollande and we are not allowed to defend ourselves
Literally worst time to be French
"The most terrible of all my battles was the one before Moscow. The French showed themselves to be worthy of victory, but the Russians showed themselves worthy of being invincible."

my top 5
Louis 9
Capet
Philippe 4
Napoléon
Philippe 2
>>81362780
He was pretty great. There seems to be a tendency to try to represent him as a proto-Hitler.
>>81363203
Louis IX , don't forget Louis IX
>>81362780
Napoléon was a great conqueror and like all great conquerors he was greedy of fame and territories which led to rapid collapse of all his conquest.
Marcus-Aurelius was probably the wisest and at the same time most capable leader the western world ever seen (maintaining an Empire is harder than creating one).
There are too many great leader in western history to try to rank them anyway, we just need one right now before everything goes shit and muslims become permanent part of Europe.
Do people like Arthur de Gobineau who at least partially blame the French Revolution for the downfall of Europe like or dislike Napoleon?
"Si quiconque s'avise de médire de la foi chrétienne, il ne faut la défendre qu'avec l'épée, et on doit donner de l'épée dans le ventre autant qu'elle peut y entrer."
“En effet, j’ai regardé et examiné son Alcoran et je n’y ai vu qu’ordures et impuretés, tandis que d’après les sages anciens, voire même les païens, l’honnêteté est le souverain bien dans cette vie”
