Autistic Good

what are some good beginnner books about Napoleon?

Underrated if anything. You'll hear some pretty idiotic things about him from those without knowledge of him. A real "philosopher king".

What is he doing with that little girl?

>>1554047
He seems to be reading a book while she sleeps

>>1553965
He is greater than Alexander. Alexander had no administrative skills and had his army handed to him. Alexander was a tactical mastermind but that's about it.

Napoleon started from nothing from a newly conquered territory, his laws and ideals influenced the whole world. He is a rags to riches story.

He's literally greatest European ever.

This, my prof in uni said the most inspiring thing about him is how a no name from bum fuck Corsica could rise up and put all of Europe at his knee, no faggy aristocracy or kings needed.

Pretty inspiring desu

Does your prof also like Genghis Khan? Napoleon was him 2.0.

Actually that's not a fair comparison. Genghis Khan died in a victorious battle whereas Napoleon died of exposure in the middle of nowhere.

By the French people you mean a bunch of bitter soldiers who wanted their empire back?

Those guys picking him again just weakened their country further, and France's history since then has been a string of European defeats leading up to its current situation of near-collapse.

Anyway, French conservatives had been repressed and massacred in the Vendee so they weren't going to start stirring up trouble when his defeat was guaranteed by the massive alliance against the guy.

Lmao get off 4chan Metternich

>Wage wars that kill millions of Europeans

And that's were you lost credibility
The Napoleonic Wars were started by Britain in 1803 with the 3rd coalition
Then the 4th coalition war was started by Prussia and the 5th one by Austria
Nappy conquered Europe in self defense against British funded aggressions

>>1554656
Good question
More than that died at Badajoz alone

>>1555566
Eternal Anglo strikes again.

>>1553893
By modern popular consciousness?
He's considered almost Hitler 1.0, so massively underrated.
By the historicallay literate?
He is given his just due, as a flawed but great leader that was too ambitious for his own sake.

>>1555693
As well, we would still probably be using his artillery tactics if indirect artillery hadn't been invented.

>>1553982
Nahh, its just that he had is mostly remembered because of his fuck up against Prussia.
