These kinds of causality creations usually only work if you - like i said - leave out details, which is the moment when someone leaves the historical factual and enters the creation of histography, something that has always flourished around the french revolution.
By this logic we get a clear causality by which Napoleon gave us Hitler.
Why stop at Napoleon? Unless you are British, for them Napoleon is the devil. I'd say Cesar gave us Charlemagne, who gave us Napoleon who gave us Hitler! And Cesar was clearly manipulated to do so by Cleopatre. In that scenario you can even blame a woman for everything.
Really? Napoleon gave Europe his civil code, formed the various German noble ruled entities into modern, by its day, kingdoms and proto nations, some that do exist in some form till today.
He was ultra expensionist, and militarily very, very successful. And come on, every army back then pillaged when marching, including the various coallition armies. Heck, the German states, excluding Prussia, were actually really happy with Napoleon, until the wind changed after Napoleons defeat in Russia.
No idea why Brits are still but hurt by Napoleon, first they win, then they fight two world wars as close allies of France and they still don't like them because Napoleon came close to bring the Empire down centuries ago...
> He was ultra expensionist, and militarily very, very successful.
The places where he expanded into do not appreciate it at all. Places he visited while marching do not appreciate it at all. Pretty much all mentions of Napoleon in my country are of the "and destroyed by Napoleon in" kind.
> And come on, every army back then pillaged when marching, including the various coallition armies.
That does not make anyone appreciate Napoleons one.
Well, even napoleon himself failed to properly appreciate that (hindsight: why go after Russia if the British are the problem and there, only, army is sitting in Spain at the moment?). But true, all coalitions against the French were organized by Britain.
