>total nobody at 25, no royal connections, little wealth. (Italy was a backwater shithole similar to Louisiana)
>became the most promising Politician just 10 years later with nothing but his charisma
He had a lot of connections inside political circles. Him being named at the head of the Army of Italy was seen as blatant nepotism by other commanders like Masséna.
>still lost due to betrayal by Murat and Grouchy
Murat did little for Napoleon's defeat and Grouchy never betrayed. He fucked up one time but was a very capable commander, undefeated on the battlefield.
Also Waterloo was just a last stand, the real defeat was the battle of Leipzig and in extension, the campaign of Russia. But in overall, Napoleon simply lost because other nations figured out they should copy french military doctrine.
Also speaking of traitor but not mentionning Marmont, Bernadotte or Talleyrand...
