What if Napoleon Never Rose To Power?

Napoleon has been riddled down to a caricature in modern media, but we often forget our entire modern life is directly from his actions and the aftermath of his wars. What if Napoleon never actually came to power? Here is one alternate scenario.

[@SmartassX1]

@@beyondblesscrissy4063 Actually the paintings are very accurate and much better than the extra poor quality early photographs. For propaganda reasons, the paintings always had him on a horse, or something, that sort of made him seem taller. By the time he would have been photographed, he would have been very elderly.

[@micfail2]

@@SmartassX1 he didn't need help to seem taller, he was slightly above average height for the time. the commonly believed myth of him being short is due to the fact that the French used a different measurement system (their inches were longer) and using that system he was 5 ft 2, so people assume he was short not realizing that if you translate that to imperial units he was 5 ft 7.

Napoleon was so infinitely greedy and narcissistic, he'd have eventually made a mistake turning the bankers against his imperial coat. Without the consent of Benjamin Délessert, Guillaume Mallet, Jean Frédéric Perrégaux and Jean Barthélemy, he couldn't even move a thumb. A conqueror needs huge funds in attempt to centralize vast political entities. Until his first exile, this team of swiss bankers helped Napoleon as he rewarded them with the incomparable privileges offered by the creation of the "Banque de France". Note that Napoleon was the mere shadow of himself during the hundred days: without any financial backbone, he became a standard military leader aided only by a handful of fidels.

[@nozoto]

***** Napoleon had a reputation of invincibility before the Berezina battle, and from the moment he had taken on this setback, it was the start of his fall as an eminent military figure. That's the ransom of glory. Besides, the same dynamic occured more than one century later with the nazis' rout at Stalingrad. Rekindled by this consideration and lead by brilliant characters like the general Arthur Wellesley of Wellington, the coalition was able to get rid of Napoleon for good. The emperor was returned his own medicine: many of his officers had been corrupted. This kind of sabotage takes down anyone, no matter the skills. Even with a draw or a victory à la Pyrrhus, it's likely the empire wouldn't have lasted long. Oddly enough, the stock market of London was convinced of Napoleon's victory, due to the weak circulation of information at the era. That's how the patriarch of the Rothschild family had become insanely rich, as everyone sold shares for a vile price to take shelter! These imbeciles were very little aware of the proceedings of a war, but once again the very rich are like that: visceral cowards who agree to send the poor to sure death but fear when it could potentially backfire.

10:30 It was disease, not just the cold, that decimated Napoleon's armies in the Russian campaign.

[@lucofparis4819]

It was the scorch earth tactic that killed the most, actually, long before winter even came. A winter that equally killed the French _and_ Russian troops, primarily due to disease and cold, but mainly because it was a particularly harsh one, even by russian standards. All of those soldiers had winter clothing by the way.

[@Alorand]

Not only disease and cold. A lot of people forget that he invaded in June, and Russian HEAT killed a lot of people before they reach Moscow, along with disease killed most men. And there were also bloody battles at the begining of the invasion, the Russian army was extremely large too. Then, when retreating to Poland, it was winter, disease, starvation and the Russian cavalry harassing their back killed a lot of men. He had 600,000 men when invading, 150,000 when reaching Moscow and 50,000 when reaching Poland.

In 1808, as a consequence of Napoleon invansion of Portugal, the royal family fled to Brazil. Without this, they would just stay home. It is often said that Brazil´s territorial integrity comes from the fact above. So, without Napoleon, Portugal´s former colony in South America woul be pretty much like former Spanish colonies: a bunch of smaller countries all speaking Portuguese.

[@concept5631]

Interesting.

[@laerteVidalJunior]

As a Brazilian I can say that first, you wouldn't have favelas in Rio de Janeiro, second at the time we were on the gold cycle, so Yes we would still expand to the west for more gold, without Napoleon embargo of Europe to England, the English wouldn't need the New World to abolish slavery so soon because they would have a market for their Industrial Textiles, so many things could spiral from here, the next product from Brazil at the time was coffee, but without the Portuguese monarchy moving here to escape revolting Europe a bigger revolution could have happened, and different from most of the other countries in South America the Brazilian unit was formed during the gold cycle, we could have become more by cutting ties with Portugal after the gold, thanks to the administrative investments that the monarchy needed to do for the gold extraction, now a days from the region of the minas gerais we extract Iron, and other minerals, without the crown moving the center of Portuguese Empire to Rio.

[@RichardSpeights]

Napoleon offered a twelve thousand Franc reward to the first person who could successfully preserved food. The reward money motivated Nicolas Appert, a French pastry chef, to work on the problem. Eventually, after experimentation, he discovered the right methodology for preserving food, the canning process in glass jars, which housewives still employ to this day. This led to mechanized preservation of foods in cans and also led to Louis Pasture's pasteurization process. If Napoleon had not been the king of France, it may have taken another hundred years for the world to learn how to preserve food. This would have caused a major delayed in the modern age's progression.

[@Andulsi]

ShadowClaw98100 that s because Britain became a Franco Norman colony and your aristocracy is still Franco Norman. But you're not allowed turn you ire on your aristocracy. So you turn it on where they came from.

[@CountScarlioni]

No, our aristocracy *was* Franco-Norman. That altered dramatically with Henry Tudor who had Welsh-Flanders blood. At this point it has long been Anglo-German...mostly German. They only changed the name to "Windsor" during WWI because "Saxe Coburg and Gotha" sounded far too "Germanic" during a total war against Germany. The France-England thing is deeper than how you describe although I'll be damned if I could put it easily into words. Each nation had much the other wanted, and no matter how much political or military conflict occurred between the nations there was always this grudging admiration and respect for one another's abilities. Even Napoleon acknowledged a singular respect for his foes in Westminster. As for turning ire on the monarchy, Britons have made it something of a historical pastime. Having murdered, deposed, overthrown, revolted against and executed various monarchs through time, even a cursory glance through British history shows that they are fair game for the people's anger. Even Queen Victoria, that most celebrated of all British monarchs survived 8 assassination attempts and at least one direct assault by a mob.

One critical change completely missed: the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Britain completely crushed the French and Spanish fleets, giving them free reign over the seas, and the ability to expand and strengthen the empire globally to its full -and pretty terrifying - extent. Without that battle, Britain would have had to fight piecemeal against French and Spanish colonial forces. If Spain had retained its colonies, that might have proven more difficult. Also, the war of 1812. That war was mostly spurred by Britain being busy fighting France and using dirty tactics to acquire resources for that war. It was also not won by Britain and Canada (not really lost either, but definitely not won) partially because forces were split. If the French were busy killing each other, and the Spaniards possibly fighting the Americans, then Canada would not have been invaded, but the Loyalists who lived in Canada might have persuaded Britain to have another crack at the US while they were busy fighting Spain. Who knows, maybe the US would not exist at all?

You can’t argue that Napoleon just wanted power to himself. Don’t forget that France was the victim of various coalitions that attempted to destroy the ideas of the French Revolution, which is the very thing the French fought so hard for. They needed someone to lead them, to defend France, and defeat the enemy. And the person was Napoleon. To the French, he was a hero. Just look at the Hundred Days. The King sent an army to arrest Napoleon when he returned to Elba. Instead the army turned to his side after he used his charisma to remind them of one thing: Their Emperor was back. It was time to make France great again.

[@Yet.Another.Rapper.KiG.V2]

@Orville Alexander Damn bro you're really far gone from reality. 1) All Trump does is lie. The count of his lies is heavy in the 5 figures. He literally can't speak once without saying something misleading or outright false, claiming "I never said that" when someone calls him on his shit. Politicians lying is nothing new under the sun, but at least most politicians try and cover their snakery and do so semi-adequately; Trump does his snakery loud, proud, and in broad daylight, and the brainless gobble it up. 2) Both establishment Democrats and all Republicans in Washington love war, it's what their donors and the military industrial complex want. If you're referencing leftists dismay to Trump abandoning our allies, the Kurds, left to be genocided by ISIS and the Turks, that is in no way the same thing as our desire to end the Forever Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to end our toppling of democratically elected leaders and funding of far right terror organizations abroad. If you think Obama was a war hawk (which he was, don't get it twisted), keep in mind that Trump dropped more bombs on the Middle East in his first year as president than Obama did his whole 4 years. The steady flow of innocent civilians and American soldiers massacred pointlessly has only grown to a torrent under Trump--there's a reason that 60%+ of American soldiers (and even MORE generals) despise Trump. 3) Leftists don't hate small business owners of any race, they only hate large businesses. You may whine, "WhAt aBOuT BLm?!?!?" but the FACTS show that 93% of BLM protests have been *completely* peaceful. Even Portland, supposedly fallen to chaos and bloodbath, only had riots the first night of protests, with the protestors dealing with their own bad eggs shortly. The mayor of Portland and the governor of Oregon told Trump, "hey, we're all good," and the authoritarian retard STILL sent militarized police, who, as they have done across the country, agitated protests. Agent provocateurs have ensured that every intention of keeping protests peaceful is ruined by cops desperate to try out their new militarized toys. 4) Biden has an average of a 10% lead in battleground states lmaooo "landslide" sure buddy, cope harder. 5) There has been zero evidence of the supposed fraudulent nature of mail-in ballots, but buy whatever unsubstantiated narratives you want I guess.

If Napoleon never came to power, nationalism, which was born in France, couldn't have spread throughout Europe, so Europeans would still think of allegiance to a sovereign monarch instead of allegiance to a homeland. Consequently, if such an infesting idea (nationalism) didn't spread in Europe, then it will also not spread on European colonies throughout the world. The reason why Europeans managed to control most of the world was because every people they found were divided--there were no nation-states, just tribes. In the 20th century when nationalism was quite entrenched throughout the globe, it became hard for the Europeans to keep their colonies because the peoples they ruled then became united--national revolutions were harder to stop than mere revolts by individual groups of divided peoples. So the bottom line is, if it wasn't for Napoleon, nationalism couldn't have spread through Europe and their colonies. Europeans didn't have to face a united national effort among the peoples they ruled. Europeans would still be in control of most of the world to this day. There would still be empires.

[@daman1209]

+BBBHuey Likely greater involvment in Spain during the 30s and Trosky was more of an internationalist. The military purges also likely would not have happened, so the army of the Soviet Union argueably could have been better equiped and more competent to fight the Nazi Germans. France and Italy could have become communist in post-world-war-2 europe. Stalin allowed fixed elections in the West immediaetly after the war (long story why, you can research that yourself), where as Trosky being more of an internationalist would have pushed communist spread in the west and in Greece. Greece's civil war possibly could have been avoided. Stalin gave greece to the british sphere of influence in exchange for control over Poland as a buffer state. Assuming the USSR won ww2 with Trosky it is debateable if another major international war would have happened in Europe. Stalin was a lot more conservative, nationalistic appraoch in international politics and focused on building a strong domestic core and maintaining his satelite states. Trosky on the otherhand wanted spread of communism in other countries even if it effected the stability of the Soviet union. Its very debatable. In my opinion its a case of choose your poison.

[@Atilla_the_Fun]

No, that was was the 3rd symphony. However, Beethoven crossed out the dedication when he found out Napoleon was not so "democratic" and more "emperor-like" (though he was later also in direct and formal contact with several kings and emperors...). The 5th piano concerto was actually dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, a patron and friend of Beethoven's.

[@ArmenianBishop]

@@TheodoreServin Thank You for the correction of my error. I did read several Beethoven Biographies, more than 4 decades ago; so long ago, that it slipped by me.

Hitler wouldn't be inspired by him and might not wish to be a political figure. Nazis would never exist, the Weimar Republic continues, Fascist Italy wouldn't have the strength, confidence and enough allies to declare war on Britain and France, Prime Minister Chamberlain would remain in power, Imperial Japan may or may not still declare war on the United States and the colonial rulers in Asia since the European rulers haven't been conquered and the Soviet Union would have no delay in war since the Nazis aren't there to cause trouble.
