Was Napoleon unironically a genius?
>total nobody at 25, no connections, no wealth. (Italy was a backwater shithole similar to Louisiana)
>became the most promising Politician just 10 years later with nothing but his charisma
>created the most gigantic mass movement in human history from scratch. (Democratic Bonapartism)
>created an entire ideology from scratch. (Democratic Bonapartism)
>got rid of hunger and unemployment
>gave a defeated and demoralised people their
faith and confidence back
>told the French they're the best people in the world in a time when they were considered a joke
>literally risked his own life in French Revolutionary Wars for his nation
>whenever he spoke the crowd became fucking ecstatic, almost like under a spell
>conquered all of Europe and almost Russia
>conquered more territory than Caesar or Alexander in a ridiculously short time
>withstood the entire planet for 12 years
>still lost due to betrayal by Murat and Grouchy
>went down fighting till the last second, didn't even consider surrendering.
>Was charismatic enough to avoid execution unlike Mussolini.
