Why did Jean-Bédel Bokassa crown himself Emperor of Central Africa? Was it old-fashioned dictatorial megalomania? Did he have an heir? And what was his inspiration? Was it Napoleon? Was it wewuzzing? Or something else?
And furthermore: Are there any other instances in the 20th century where a republic reverted to monarchy, even if only temporarily?

he was trying to legitimize his power in the most impressive way he could
> Did he have an heir?
yes, he had 15 wives and more than 50 sons
also the political party he founded is still active so his glorious dinasty may one day return

Why did William I crown himself Emperor of Germany? Was it old-fashioned dictatorial megalomania? Did he have an heir? And what was his inspiration? Was it Napoleon? Was it wewuzzing? Or something else?

>>1983392
He was a clever man, so this is probably true.

>>1983446
Nice try but William did not crown himself and he was already royalty.
Bokassa wasn't even son of a chieftain or something like that.

>>1983363
It was napoleon I think.
