!historychads Do you think l'empereur was a good guy or a tyrant? Would you rather side the Bongs, Austria and Russia? Or make use of the Bongs like Portugal while doublecrossing Napoleon?
Let's presume you're in 1805 and have no benefit of hindsight
(There's no Napoleonic era british soldier so the red coat should suffice).
!neolibs do you think the British Empire represented was the closest to our vision for that era?

The funniest thing I overheard was a professor telling a bunch of undergrads that Napoleon was a benevolent dictator. I laughed out loud in the hallway while walking by. I couldn't believe it. The man helped bring about mass conscription, waged a war across Europe, and killed hundreds of thousands of people. Maybe millions due to after effects like famine and riots. He then installed his friends or family as governors over provinces and countries. And his Napoleonic Code was just words. I'd get more into that, but it's ridiculous to call that man a "benevolent dictator." He was just as destructive and egotistic as Hitler, but he didn't kill the Jews en masse, so
.
!historychads, disagree. I wanna fight you!

Napoleon good because he invaded Portugal, this led to the Portuguese Royal Family moving to Brazil, which led to Brazil's independence in 1822 and also led to Pedro I marrying Archduchess Leopoldine who became Empress Leopoldina which led to the founding of german colonies in Rio Grande do Sul (Leopoldina and her husband were patrons of it) which led to my existence.

I honestly think
i would 
have supported Napoleon. For me it's not about him being a tyrant or not, but mostly his incredible 
reforms that shaped modern 
europe..... and for his wonderful act of the creation 
of the Sanhedrin, as well as other good relationship with the jews, the only people i am loyal to !jidf

And still later as a General
Have I galloped with Murat
When we laughed at death and numbers
Trusting in the Emperor's Star.
Till at last our star faded,
And we shouted to our doom
Where the sunken road of Ohein
Closed us in its quivering gloom.

which ones are the chuds
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
All of them, but on different levels.
The leftoid faction of the French Revolution, the “Montagne” was crushed in 1794. Napoleon was himself a product of the Revolution but ironically he putted an end to it along with the First French Republic by being crowned Emperor. He was still fairly progressive in some regards (Napoleonic Code, emancipation of the Jews, separation of Church and State).
His enemies, with the big exception of Britain, were all absolute monarchies trying to quash revolutionary ideas before they could spread like wildfire, so you could argue Austria and Russia were the bigger chuds.

I have an ancestor who fought in the Napoleonic wars. First against the French, and then after being conquered, simply stayed on in the army and fought with them.
Many such cases, I suspect.

Yes, it was a common practice up until the mid 19th century.
During the Paraguayan War (1864-1870) for instance, the Argentine and Uruguayan armies incorporated Paraguayan POWs into their forces. On the other hand the commander of the Imperial Brazilian Army, the marquis of Caxias, refused to do the same deeming POWs as unreliable in the battlefield (he was right as many deserted back to their country).
