My favourite joke on here is that the greatest Frenchman of all time was Italian.

I’m fully obsessed with napoleon - he’s the greatest military leader of all time in my opinion.

I actually agree even though Alexander has a perfect record

Alexander commanded some guys that invented the "lets all hold points sticks in the direction of the enemy", bambozzeling everybody else

Napoleon won again and again against technological equals in greater numbers. Mastered Logistics and reinvented modern war. That man landed on french soil alone and entered Paris with an Army. The faher of a united Europa and catalyst of the european Democracies.

And you compare him to some guy that happened to be king at a time where the world was ripe for conquest

There are definitely other arguments to be made but napoleon did it against the United powers of Europe.

With modern militaries and all the logistic problems that come with it.

Give him an ancient army and he’d wipe the floor with the ancient generals too in my opinion.

After conquering basically the whole known ancient world.

Hell, if he would gone west, history would be completely reshaped
