The Son of The Revolution. Everything in western culture is downstream of this man. If Aristotle is Qui-Gon, Napoleon is Obi-Wan. Faked being sick to get leave from the army, only to return to Corsica and immediately work to get His brother elected. Watched His superiors die in an artillery strike and immediately took their jobs and lead his peers into battle (won and captured a fort held by royalists, btw). If you’re a leftist you can appreciate Him for enacting the Napoleonic code, and inventing civil rights (don’t look too far overseas). If you’re right wing you can appreciate Him for rising to the occasion and answering the desperate cries he heard deep within his psyche coming from the children of a Future France. If you drove or walked somewhere today, you can thank Napoleon for making sure the commoner could share a road with the noble. If you woke up in your bed today, you can thank Napoleon for making it so.
