He was never really a part of it to begin with,

>inb4 he wuz italian n shiet

Real question is whether he was such an evil bad guy as the anglos portrayed him as. I don't think so.

>codified every law worthy of note produced by Revolution
>brought revolutionary ideas to Europe on the edge of a sword
>hailed as a hero by liberals and nationalists for decades to come
No, if anything Napoleon saved it. Directorate was a cancerous body full of opportunists who'd sell their own mother for wealth. Barras literally planned to restore the Bourbons prior to Napoleon's coup.

>2 italian parents
>literally spoke french with a thick italian accent
user, I...

No
He saved it from the jacobin menace

He salvaged what was left of it.

Napoleon was a hero

He took the civil code and liberty laws to every country he conquered...even though he was never a part of the revolution he made sure the cause stayed... though he took up on himself to protect it by making himself king

He brought the revolution to it's logical conclusion. Keeping the great and removing the excesses while also trying to reconcile the old order of the other European powers.

I love how pissed the clergy look.

Only the really batshit crazy parts like state atheism, decimal time, etc.

Napoleon was the best thing that could have happened to the Revolution and the ideals it stood for.

He was the Antichrist. God Bless Tsar Alexander for saving Europe from liberalism.

As an American, the French Revolution was a failure in bringing forth a glorious shining Republic and you ended up replacing a King with an Emperor.

Napoleon didn't care about the Revolution just his ego and France.

Sure that your bring slavery and oligarchy.

The government, and the people allowed Napoleon to become emperor. They offered the title to him, and he kept the things worth keeping from the Revolution

>Genius manlet.

>B-but muh republic
>B-but tyrannical dictators

>The government, and the people allowed

>american historians

>corsicans are italian

He sacrificed some of the gains to preserve some of the gains.

If he had tried to keep all, putting ideals before pragmatism, without compromising, he would have lost all.

Good, clergy are scum and deserve to be bullied. Napoleon should have ripped the pope's clothes off his body and make him walk about to rome.

Lanklets and Brainlets btfo in one image

Keep in mind that Tolstoy was a Russian nobleman, primarily a novelist, and that he hated Napoleon. To cite his opinions is just childish.

If by "betray" you mean "fixed", then yes.

>become absolute monarch
>still propagate your image as a hero of the revolution

How did he do it?

He beat the ever living shit out of the rest of europe while still keeping the good ideals of the republic

He became the last enlightened despot

>he would have lost all.
he literally did though

what an unprofessional way to write. Cant read that shit
