Safe and strong France. Most of the wars he fought he did not start.
>>68582934
Get destroyed by the only real Empire that have ever existed.
>>68582934
Polish independence.
>>68582934
Destroy the eternal teuton and perfidious albion.
>>68582934
To spread the ideals of the revolution throughout the world while maintaining a strong French nation. Only managed to do the former.

True but compared to a lot of generals he was. Washington was 6'2" and the Marquis de Lafayette only a little shorter than Washington.
You know I don't even like France but imagine if they conquered Russia and had so much sex with Russian women that Russians would be Western European now.
>>68582934
Like Hitler get as many Europeans killed as possible.

Was creating a new absolute monarchy part of the "ideals of the revolution"?
>>68585555
Not to excuse him but Napoleon was equally to blame for their fighting. Even when he defeated the Prussians, Napoleon complained about him.
>>68585678
1. It clearly wasnt absolute, à lot of power was still held by the parlement.
2. It was at a time when France was attacked from all sides, desperate measures were needed.
>>68582944
not want he wanted faggot
>>68585678
Yes, he like the Soviets after him totally didn't throw all of the revolutions ideals in the trash to set himself up as an absolute ruler.
>>68585537
Very unfair. He didn't start the conflict with Britain, Prussia or Austria. He brought war to them, but he was attacked in a first place. And also all of those coutries were more authoritarian by the time than France was. Not trying to say he was a good guy, but the guys he was fighting were worse.
>>68583032
In all fairness he was in fact who did make practical reality the enlightenment for the average Joe in Europe.
Whatever it was, the Perfidious Anglo won again.
