Not morally, I mean were his actions bennifical to the French people
>>1935792
Really depends at what angle you look from.
>>1935792
He was benifical for all of mankind anon.
>>1935785
As a German I have to say that Napoleon had way more positive than negative effects on the world as it is today
>>1935792
Benefitial, of course.
>Nappy doesn't exist
>France loses faster
Although there was an amazing pool of great leaders at that time, Napoleon was obviously the best of all of them. He created tons of modern institutions and concepts, the napoleonic code, etc. Nothing would have been better if he had not existed, except maybe the state of the UK's finances.

As a Spanish I have to say that Napoleon did nothing wrong except losing, and that we should have kept his brother ruling this shithole. Maybe today we would have hope to be Italy-tier.

You would be much better off, since you would likely have been in a position to keep your colonies.
>>1935933
I couldn't care less about the colonies. Not returning to absolutism with a retarded king is enough.

>The economy, which was basically the entire reason the Revolution got kicked off in the first place, is still a complete mess by the time Napoleon gets into power
>He has it fixed within like a month
>The Napoleonic Code is still the basis of law for many countries today, including France
>Sends England into an autistic, spastic fit
Gee boss, I dunno
