I Blame Communism

I don't know. I have a hard time seeing Napoleon as that different from Tsar Alexander, or Pitt the Elder, or most politicians of his day. Expansion through force of arms was how it was done. He just was super good at it.
You think I like those guys?
(Actually one does have to feel sympathetic to poor Alex given all the crap he went through; but the British ruling classes were, as we know, just plain bastards.)
Like I said, a great man: extremely competent and no warlord. But he still let his ego kills thousands of people.
