He conquered Russia

He managed to mix together the ideas of many military thinkers of the XVIIIth century into a coherent structure, bridging the gap between the military and political in one man without sacrificing the efficiency of one to the whims of the other, and managed to skillfully take advantage of just about every opportunity that was presented to him. Even to the very end, even after the disaster of the Russian campaign, and the later exile to Elba, he managed to make a never seen before return to power, from prisoner, to Emperor once again, for a fleeting Hundred Days, and did not go down until the final defeat at Waterloo.
Oh and he was pretty good at making laws and all that cool Code Civil stuff still partly in use in France today.

Sure, but then Russia bested him.
Russia's greatest weapon has always been Russia, at least in defensive wars
Isaiah Mitchell
He went full Caesar and ruined the 1st French Republic.

To be fair the common man loves a tyrant. As long as you are good at killing foreigners nobody will care when you proclaim yourself dictator for life or emperor.
Jeremiah Allen
A man's man – if you're an ancient greek.
BTFO all of Europe. Came the closest to conquering Europe in history, except for the Axis powers.
His Napoleonic code is massively influential in our laws today (I'm not sure of specifics, maybe someone else here knows).
A great writer, the greatest strategist, an emperor. Sounds like he lives up to the hype
Jose Sanders
There was nothing left to ruin by the time he showed up.

Napoleon was the Hitler of his day. The number of parallels is remarkable.

Code Civil
Sebastian Thomas
Yes, he created a beurocracy to manage conquered territories and military matters.
It was merely the adoption of enlightenment rationalism against conservative reactionary monarchs and was nothing superhuman
Easton Murphy
He saved the republic
also, your pic is completely unrelated

The republic died with Robespierre, reactionary fuckwit.
Charles Reyes
I never said pic related...
Julian Sullivan
Whereas Robespierre was the ideological force behind the revolution, thermador didnt completely destroy the system they had set up. It could have pulled through. Napoleon spread the ideas, but ironically shat on all the concepts by making himself emperor.
Bentley Taylor
He saved the revolution
Before Napoleon instigated his coup, the Directory was about to betray the revolution and restore the Bourbon in exchange for nobility titles
Gavin Stewart
Btw he never used cavalry
Cavalry was a stupid idea
