most of them were, Louis-Napoleon did a darn fine job in the Netherlands though.He may have been better off doing less; more pauses for consolidation, more political exploitation after the battle, some sign that peace with him was actually possible instead of the never ending treadmill of violence that actually happened. Oh, and stop giving his family jobs for which they were hopelessly unsuited.
for a long time napoleon thought he couldn't father children (josephine de beauharnais made him think so), until after a while the truth came out when he knocked up a mistress.
however for quite a while he acted reckless simply because there wasn't an aspect of dynasty. What if he does become a father earlier, he might change his strategy somehow.
