Why is it that we refer to him in his first name as opposed to his last like every other historical figure?

He would have wanted it that way. He wanted to be on a first-name basis with the world

Monarchs are referred to by their first names and he was an Emperor.
>>
>>2451604
>Why is it that we refer to him in his first name
Because he was a monarch you troglodyte. Have you ever heard anyone referring to Nicholas II as "Mr. Romanov"?
>>
>>2451604

boring topic

>Napoleon was everything stormfags pretend Hitler was

how true is this?
>>
You can refer to him as "Bonaparte" if you want. No law against it; unless proposition 308 passes, which we're all praying will.
>>
>>2451904
>Have you ever heard anyone referring to Nicholas II as "Mr. Romanov"?

Yes, the bolsheviks and other assorted socialists did so.

Do you niggers have to shit up every thread with this bullshit?
>>
>>2451909
The Polish national anthem calls him Bonaparte.

Although that's because it was written when he was a general.

Why is it that we refer to him for what he is as opposed to his tribal name like every other historical figure?
>>
>>2451604
You're right. The only people commonly referred to by their first names are Monarchs and Emperors, and it's not like he's famous for being an Emperor or anything.

How about an actual thought provoking topic?

Robespierre was closer to Hitler than Napoleon was. Discuss
>>
>>2451937
Did Poland even exist then?
>>
>>2451991
Nope.
>>
>>2451907
If by that you mean
>Got increasingly ambitious and irrational
>didn't know when to give up
>was incredibly abusive to his "allies"
Then yeah, Napoleon was like Hitler.

Realistically, though, there really isn't much similarity beyond the very superficial.
>>
>>2451991
It had ceased to exist two years before.

Which is why you had tens of thousands of Polish volunteers under general Bonaparte in northern Italy and later through the Napoleonic wars hoping to secure the aid of Revolutionary France in restoring Poland. Which is why https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Warsaw was a thing later on.

Not very. Napoleon was quire racially progressive for the time. He even had a black general.

>>2451985
yeah... napoleon was also guilty of genocide on haiti - but robespierre was by far closer to hitler than anyone else during the revolution

fortunately ( or unfortunately) he wasn't has successful has hitler was in his quest to get his nation rid of what he saw has the enemy of the people

Wellington wasn't his name, but title. His name was Arthur Wellesley
Salah ad-Din was his laqab (so pretty much a title too). His first name was Yusuf, and patronimic bin Ayyub.
