>war obsessed maniac

>gay?
I hate to hone in on this one, but what's the evidence in favor of him being gay? This is a new one for me.

He was a cuck which is worse

All great men are fags; they are the only men insecure enough to overcompensate by conquering the world. The proud masculine man has no need for such frivolities.

People at the time liked to ship Napoleon and Alexander together.

>absolute JUST at politicking
Kill yourself anglo*d rat
You are unironically not part of the human specie

>makes enemies out of half the world
>even his own wife

Genius, outside of France his technique was warfare.

>the virgin achiever
>the chad NEET

Napoleon probably didn't help the situation when he literally said that if Alexander was a woman he'd take him as his mistress.

>war obsessed maniac
While in power he started only three wars - the invasion of Portugal, the invasion of Spain and the invasion of Russia. All of the coalitions aimed against him were started by the Anglo, the Austrians and the Prussians. He repeatedly urged the other powers to let him reign in peace, but they would never accept his offers.

>genius at war, absolute JUST at politicking
He was great with internal politics, since he found a good line between revolutionary and traditionalist, but I agree that with foreign affairs he was pretty bad, although it didn't help that the Anglo was literally paying everyone off to keep fighting him no matter what, and almost bankrupting their entire country just to do it.

>pushed east into unknown and inhospitable territory
Inhospitable during winter, sure, but definitely not unknown. Maps of Europe - even Russia - were very good in the early 19th century.

>established many puppet states/satrapies
True.

>dreamt of united europe/europe and asia
He wanted a strong and dominant France, not a "united Europe". He was happy to leave other countries alone if they left France alone. Also, his only business with Asia was invading Palestine and getting btfo before he even came to power, so he definitely couldn't care less about uniting Europe and Asia.

>narcissistic when naming things after himself
The only example of this I can think of is the Napoleonic Code, which is fair to name after himself since he, you know, created it. He also based it off Justinian's legal code, which was also named after its creator.

>cucked by his wife/cucked by his generals
Yeah, his wife cheated on with him one guy, but he then cheated on her with dozens of women over decades, with her knowledge of it, and made it clear there was nothing she could do about it. No idea what you mean about his generals; they ended up mostly betraying him, sure, but that isn't "cucking" him.

>died an unremarkable death that is contested between assassination and illness

His enemies were so intimidated by his status as a living legend that they didn't want to kill him lest he become a martyr, so they exiled him to literally the furthest point away on the Earth to anything ever, out of fear that he'd escape... again. Nothing unremarkable about that. Not everyone can die in the midst of battle. Most great men didn't.

>their empire crumbled as quickly as it rose
Only because nobody else was as great and remarkable as he was, and didn't have his intelligence and daring.

>embarassed to be ginger
He wasn't a ginger.

>gay?
He had like two dozen mistresses over twenty years, and had several children.

he was ginger. he was embarassed by it due to Corsican superstitions and promptly had all of his paintings depict him dark baired

Is that also why countless physical descriptions of him by people from all over Europe - even his worst enemies - described him as having dark hair?

europe and asia is about alexander
cucked by general si also about alexander

Which of Alexander's generals fucked which of his wives?

Is this the most no fun allowed board on the chanz?

If you just wanna say retarded shit go to /b/, this board is at least meant to have a slight focus on history.

Better sign up the next time those jannie positions are available!

>serious threads
It is almost if you've never been on this board. More than half are shitposts.

I'm with you, user. Better try to salvage some real info instead of just being ironic like those retards

Talleyrand is the true GOAT of the Napoleonic era. It's one thing to be a great man tearing your way through the history books, it's another to lead each and every one of those great men by the nose and then get away with it after all's said and done.

Fuck your dumb

None of these are wholly true and some are outright demonstrably fals

He was blonde haired and Nordic, you fool.

Daily reminder that Veeky Forums is a Frankophile board, and Napoleon is our hero.

Anglo posters should return to /int/ and /pol/.
