Also Karl Donitz, is there any area where I can share my history knowledge and debate others. I checked polls and presentations but that seems to be mostly polls only. You can do any presentation about anything there. No one does that nowadays. Me, Gerd von Rundstedt and Friedrich Engels did one to revive the tradition, but there have been very few since then. OKay thx |

This is only a question who is providing your propaganda. Try to listen once to your message/news provider from a outer standpoint, and you will see, how the phrases rebell, freedomfighter, terrorist, bandits and guerillia, etc. are used to manipulate the recievers. And this is the same if you are from the US, Russia, China the Eu or Iran, North Corea or any other country on this planet. Exactly the same everywhere ! PS: Always remember, history is written from the winner! Hence it's Napoleon. Not Napoleon the Great  Napoleon is not great, especially after he invaded Spain and Russia. If he was great then why did he lost? You cannot even excuse that he was overwheled by huge resources and manpower in this case, he also has the largest army ever assembled in history at that time. |

Being great does not mean he is invincible. Yes, Spain and Russia were blunders. But name someone more competent than him during that period? Having the largest army and still losing is a humiliation, but what about Italy in 1790s? His campaigns until 1806? The reforms he did? |

Nelson : Great, but fought vey few battles with naval superiority of course (Except Trafalgar, I know) William Pitt : What did he even do? |

Alexander I- defeated Napoleon, liberated Europe despite the fact that Western Russia was literally devastated. Alexander Hamilton- prevented USA from falling apart from internal strife and gave USA an economic base. William Pitt- brilliant diplomacy and the British Empire. |

Liberated when he had superior firepower 2. He didn't fight wars. Napoleon did both. 3. It didn't work as they were still trashed by Napoleon during his reign. |

He did fight in American revolutionary wars and played an important role in the desicive battle of the war- seige of Yorktown. 3. It did work, he constructed the coalition which will defeat Napoleon eventually, though he wouldn't live to see it. |
