that would be me!;) 🙋♀️ I see lots of Q connections with George Washington, Lafayette, and Q, so i've been reading about Napoleon too. have Always found him fascinating; but now looking towards his ideas on banking, the press and Jesus. AND think he might be an autist, had strict requirements on his traveling library.
He was a very unusual person, and his level of precision lent itself well to winning battles, because he always planned his battles with a heavy emphasis on artillery (where he got his start). At that time, the fops that ran these wars were enamored of cavalry charges and knew a lot about moving troops around the battlefield, but very little about artillery. So he chewed these dumbasses up into little pieces and shat them out before breakfast.
He then applied his attention to detail to the laws of France, and even to the house numbering/addressing system. Our current system is basically the mailing/house numbering system he created. Fortunately for us, we didn't inherit his legal system (at least at first) because "Napoleonic Code" begins with the idea that everything is illegal unless permitted, and that everything needs to be codified. Whereas English Common Law begins with the premise that everything not expressly forbidden is legal, and what is not codified is assumed to be legal.
His supporters were fierce and clashed significantly with the Jacobites, in what was basically a "Counter-revolution". The Jacobites were Proto-Bolsheviks, basically. Total Commie assholes. Their name offers a hint as to why. Napoleon offered a return to the Rule of Law, despite it being perhaps heavy handed. But heavy handed Rule of Law was better than the Reign of Terror.
He was exiled to Elba, an island near Corsica/Sardegna. "Able was I, ere I saw Elba." A famous palindrome.
Napoleon was a weirdo, so "autist" probably fits. He evidently also nearly never bathed, etc.
The problem with all of this stuff is that it is most likely that the history books that praise him were probably written by his supporters, and the ones that criticize him were probably written by his detractors. So difficult to know what is "really true".
My favorite paintings of him are by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. But perhaps the most famous painting of him is the spectacular "Le Premier Consul franchissant les Alpes au col du Grand Saint-Bernard" by Jacques-Louis David.
My favorite quote from Napoleon is "Impossible n'est pas français." I wish more French people would adhere to that idea.
great post/thanks for sharing details! gives me something to look up. And I especially like learning about the 'exile', was fascinated with that as a kid. will also be interesting to look into the people reporting on Napoleon; sounds like they liked to focus on his 'faults'.
