His assistance in creating the united German nation-state and empire is invaluable.

He would be if he hadn't colossally fucked up with Prussia. I mean, he was going well and he suddenly took absolutely shit decisions. Same as Napoleon Sr., but Nap Jr. fucked up even worse.

>not looking at his legs

faggot

Napoleon III was nowhere near as interesting or successful, and the french are ashamed of him today, which is part of why nobody talks about him

He got BTFO by the Prussians, rather than having a glorious last stand against all of Europe. But when I was in Paris this summer, I was blown away by how much his reign influenced the city's design and culture.

Pretty sure he played a major role of the modernization and cultural expansion of Paris.

Third Republic propaganda destroyed his image in order to assert its own legitimity + the fact that Victor Hugo, today largely considered by the french as the greatest french author of all times, didn't like him. But he was indeed a great man and a great emperor.

It wasn't really his decision, he faced a lot of pressure coming both from his government and from his wife but Napoleon III didn't want the war. Unfortunately he was very ill at this time and eventually gave in to the warmongers.

The German Empire was no united German nation-state. It was a collection of German countries under a Prussian hegemony.
