Former slaves APEX :) Toussaint L'Ouverture.
he was a dictator.
It created a power vacumn where strong leadership was required to prevent chaos.
Napoleon marks the end of the French Revolution.
He lacked a Navy that was equal to the UK in quality of leadership, training and experience. He had won vast territories but had not won the hearts and minds of the population.
He had exceptional military and political leadership skills.
The revolution was as good as over when Napoleon came to power. Napoleon ended it completely by turning France into an Empire with himself as the emperor.
Napoleon Bonaparte's goal in France was to restore order to France after the Revolution.
He didn't. Napoleon was in no way instrumental in making the Revolution happen, not in terms of leadership at least. He benefits from it greatly, he fills the power vacuum. But he was not the primemover in the Revolution, although the 'Whiff of Grapeshot' is attributed to him. Napoleon simply replaced one dynasty, the Bourbons, with his own family & friends. And in the most part he does this by his own force of personality, his strength of leadership, his own ambition. It does bear saying the ideals of Liberty, Fraternity & Equality have absolutely nothing to do with Napoleon. Those of you familiar with my frequent adulation of the great man will be unsurprised to see me say that military genius does ! Vive L'Empreur !
Napoleon
Joseph Stalin was the inspiration for the character of Napoleon in George Orwell's book Animal Farm. Napoleon represents Stalin's dictatorial leadership style and his betrayal of the original ideals of the Russian Revolution. The novel is a metaphor for the events leading up to the Russian Revolution and Stalin's rise to power.
