A Brit reviewing a Corsican Frenchman providing the expected conclusion. Just an ordinary guy who folded when he came up against a 'proper' (British) army.

ha! so correct an assessment

He was an awful human

well he hypothetically could have invaded the uk. unlikely but not totally out of the realm of possibility.

200 years later brits still couldn’t forgive this great man for all that fear he gave them

On behalf of my countrymen here in Old England, I accept your thanks for Britain's leading role in saving the world from the Corsican ogre.

Thomas Jefferson was a zealous supporter of the French Revolution but ultimately concluded Napoleon was a military tyrant

The de Medici branded the Palazzo Vecchio, when they converted it from the the seat of government of the Florentine Republic, the palace of the de Medici duchy.

Ear a British talk about looted arts and artefacts and how bad it is it's a bit ridiculous 🙄 ..Napoleon stole from Europe the British Empire from the whole world 🌎

[@michaelmoorrees3585]

On that note, why are the pyramids in Egypt ? Because, they where too big to be moved to the British Museum.

[@brianwolle2509]

fine but try not to ask him about strategy and tactics... old nap was miles ahead of his opponents... defeated in 1814 only because it was decided that if napoleon was on the field, break off contact. only attack if he is not there.

[@sloths-df3gf]

The phenomenon began in Germany in 1813 with the Trachenberg Plan.

[@sloths-df3gf]

Wellington sniffed out the weaknesses in the revolutionary tactical system developed by the French in the 1790s, and used by Boney. As he said before going to Spain in 1808, "If all I hear about their system is true, I think it a false one against steady troops." He thereafter won every battle he fought against them.

[@garymoore2535]

Brian ...... You do realise that you said "Napolean was miles ahead in tactics" and followed this with he was only defeated by the TACTIC of avoiding direct engagement if he was actually on the Field. In other words your "tactical genius" was defeated because of one simple tactic ? Make it make sense ! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Did Napoleon do any good?

If that's a statue of Napoleon completely naked He had a nastier accident than the Austrian chap who james said wasn't a Womble

As an American, I much prefer George Washington. Preserved the republic and left office after two terms. No Waterloo for him!

[@scottpankonin1068]

Clickbait..

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

I have heard this English "scholar" before. A few things; he is not unbiased and ultimately he is English and therefore not objective. He is espousing a traditional view of Napoleon that frankly is getting boring and fits neatly into the English stereotype.

[@davidspence5567]

Well mybe we see things in him that French people refuse to see?

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

No, the English are just naturally biggotted and broken by their antiquated class system. The English, as they say, are bred for the yoke.

[@cmdrflake]

Bonaparte was a manifestation of self proclaimed importance. The similarities between Bonaparte and Hitler are remarkable.

[@ryanprosper88]

Ridiculous

[@FelixstoweFoamForge]

I agree. (And you are going to get hated for daring to say it).

[@FelixstoweFoamForge]

@@ryanprosper88 Explain why?

[@matsand4719]

Bonaparte set up the laws, Code Napoleon, which apply to all equally no race or section is lesser under the law. He left a legacy of public works and did not destroy cities

[@nuttygeezer708]

No they are not. Please study both.
