@Simdaperce

-Despite the errors he may have done, he remains universally aclaimed by those who know anything about history of warfare as one if not the greatest modern-time military leader. Once was Wellington asked:"Who is the greatest general ?"Wellington answered :"In Past,in Present,in Future - Napoleon."

@Simdaperce Von Blucher did alright against him.

Is the music that keeps playing from the soundtrack of Bondarchuk's War and Peace?

@redarrowhead2 Humanity is horribly disturbing. In a world with murder, rape, hate crimes, political corruption, sociopaths entering high-ranking government positions, famine, disease, war, genocide, child labor, slavery, and anything that hasn't occurred to me at the moment, humanity is one of the most disturbing things out there. If you want to be really horrified by humanity, try reading something about the Holocaust. 17 pages into "Night" by Elie Wiesel, and I'm already feeling misanthropic.

Napoleon established hegemony over most of continental Europe and sought to spread the ideals of the French Revolution, while consolidating an imperial monarchy which restored aspects of the deposed ancien régime. Due to his success in these wars, often against numerically superior enemies, he is regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time by most military academies to this day...which teaches his strategies applicable still in modern warfare....
