What is your opinion of Napoleon? Was he at bottom an evil tyrant or a genius who, whatever his flaws, helped bring Europe into modernity? |

A mixture. He did evil things and was certainly a tyrant, but was a harbinger of many important developments and had some good ideas. He didn't do what he did in order to free nations and bring on a new golden age and countless lives were lost because of his overwhelming ambition on top of the massive disruption of the French Revolutionary Wars. |
