Hitler. Most villainized.

Well he did get romanticized the romans nailed him to some 2x4's.

The most romanticized people who don't deserve it are the golden age muslims, Oda Nobunaga, vikings, and Caesar.

Oda Nobuwho?

Napoleon (mostly) isn't villainized in historiography. Even some really bad shit his army did in Spain is overlooked in favor of other more famous things he did.

Hitler is villainized for a reason and incomparable to Napoleon in almost every aspect.

Basically Japanese George Washington, Napoleon, and Caesar rolled into one. United a bunch of warring states and laid the groundwork for a strong central government. Tokugawa Ieasu took the reigns of that government; you've probably heard of the Tokugawa shogunate (turn of the 17th century until mid 19th century iirc). He's remembered in the west as being from the golden age of samurai, where bushido was very important. In Japan has remembered for ostensibly the same thing but has hundreds of movies, anime, manga, etc devoted to him.

I don't normally like these guys but they give a pretty glossy and basic chronology of why Nobunaga is so famous.

Juan, the Spaniards did more inhuman stuff to the French than the French could ever hope to do to anyone. Goya didn't depict it somehow.
I wonder why ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bail%C3%A9n#Fate_of_the_prisoners
" Prisoners were put on the uninhabited island of Cabrera. The Spanish government, was """unable""" to properly take care of the prisoners. Cannibalism was alleged to have occurred during times when the supply ships failed to arrive (i.e. often).[76] On 6 July 1814, the remaining survivors of Bailén returned to France: fewer than half remained, most having perished in captivity.[77] Many of the survivors never recovered their health after the experience.[76]
"

>Spain violated the treaty of returning the French POWs.
>Up to 30K soldiers were put on an island with no tree growing. Food ration was 3 ounce of grain a day per person.
>French rank officers unironically asked to be transferred to England because the English were more reliable than the Spanish, humanly speaking. (Unironically, again)
>all that for being guilty of bringing civilization to Spain
>Spanish resentment towards the French mostly the result of English propaganda, but ofc that is forgotten
Cabron still thinks the French are the bad guys, and Goya was a leading figure of ""journalism""

He was closer to Oliver Cromwell, a couple of decades before Cromwell.

Also bushido wasnt a thing during his time. There was samurai virtue which bushido was based on but it was far looser with its interpretation and adherence.

Bushido itself wasn't defined until the 17th - 18th century and wasn't established until like 1900.

This is why I'm not atheist because atheists are dicks most of the time, especially to religions that did more good to society than bad, regardless of the kill count.

I bet the people who would've read that magazine were fat as fuck. I'll never, ever understand American macho man mentalities when its more focused on juvenile and immature behavior than actually being a man and holding dear the responsibilities that come with it.

Doesn't change the fact that being a man in America is more concerned about owning guns and trucks than raising a family right.
