>"I saw the Emperor – this world-spirit – riding out of the city on reconnaissance. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to see such an individual, who, concentrated here at a single point, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it ... this extraordinary man, whom it is impossible not to admire." - Hegel on Napoleon
Was Napoleon an enlightened despot who laid the foundations of modern Europe or, instead, a megalomaniac who wrought greater misery than any man before the coming of Hitler?

Beethoven dropped Napoleon after he crowned himself. I think a lot of enlightenment people put their hopes in him but they were disappointed of him being more of the same. That being said the Napoleonic Code was revolutionary and as a man he had an extraordinary character. At any rate a Napoleonic Europe couldn't create a worst timeline than this one so thats something

Napoleon led the foundation for modern Europe, but probably the world would be better had he won.

He was an enlightened despot, probably among top 5 charismatic people in history. Napoleonic Code is a foundation of modern Europa. It would be interesting if he managed to defeat both Britain and Russia.
