George Washington: The Greatest Man Since Napoleon?

Napoleon was simply more intelligent. I like Washington alright, but overall he was the spearhead of a great many great men.

This is a thread about WA being the greatest man since Napoleon, I don't want to bother comparing them. Compare him to anyone who came after Napoleon.

>Since Napoleon
>Older than Napoleon

OK but you know what I mean, right?

I'm an Ameriboo and I like Washington a lot, but you can't compare him to one of the few conquerors of Western Europe and an Emperor.

I'll grant you that Washington found much more dignity in both defeat and retirement than Napoleon did.

What if Gaius Julius Caesar and Washington swapped places?

The Americans would have far more decisive victories and Washington maybe doesn't piss off enough people to get stabbed.

>>1441496
Complete and utter failure on either side's part, since they were essentially fighting against opposite principles.

What if Julius Caesar and Qin Shi Huang switched places?

Good politician tho

Washington's presidency, at the end of his life, ended before Napoleon became first consul.

Up to that point he had just been an exceptional general in Italy, although the Egyptian campaign went nowhere.

Napoleon must have been like 9 when Washington took the reigns of the Revolution in 1776.

Not really after.

He's based because he kept the army together in spite of all setbacks
