First, he is a man, not a fairy. History is the history of the people. Great men in every historical period, no matter how brilliant, are not suspense, but live in society; He is greater than the average person, not only because he has outstanding talent in a certain aspect, but also because he has higher experience and power than the average person, but in any case, his foothold must be on the same level as that of his contemporaries. The history of each era cannot be the history of a hero. The history of Napoleon's time is not Napoleon's personal heroic history, and he cannot be deified. However, over the past 100 years, historians all over the world have made many deified comments on him, such as "century giant", "western emperor", "god of war" and "master of fate". Instead, it is anger, disgust and abuse. For example, he is a monster of Corsica, a tyrant who destroys freedom, a shameless villain, a rogue and so on.
Second, times make heroes, not heroes make times. The law of history shows that whenever there is a great change in society, it is an era in which heroes come forth in large numbers and great historical figures are bound to be created. Napoleon was great because of the French Revolution, a great event that shocked the world. As Engels pointed out, "Napoleon, a Corsican, happened to be the military dictator needed by France exhausted by the war." Without Napoleon, his role would be played by another person. " Therefore, we must put him in the history of the French Revolution in order to better understand him.
Third, we must look at the mainstream and dominant aspects, and we cannot replace the whole with one side. Historical figures, especially great historical figures, have complicated life experiences. So it depends on whether he moves against the historical trend, not the trend of the times.
Fourth, Napoleon commanded about 60 battles in his life, more than the sum of the famous military commanders Alexander, Hannibal and Caesar in history. The Napoleonic War, which lasted for about 20 years, mainly resisted foreign aggression in the early stage and national oppression in the later stage. However, the war has become obviously aggressive, with the nature of plundering other peoples and annexing other countries' territories, which has brought great disasters to the people of Europe and France.
1804 The French Civil Code promulgated by Napoleon (also known as the Napoleonic Code) is a typical example of bourgeois code compilation, which has been imitated by many capitalist countries. 19 17 After the victory of the October Revolution, the Soviet regime led by Lenin basically completed the compilation of a series of important codes, such as criminal law, civil law and criminal procedure law, civil procedure law, labor law and land law, which is the earliest socialist code in the world. Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, Marriage Law and Civil Procedure Law promulgated by People's Republic of China (PRC) are all basic socialist laws.
I hope you can be satisfied!
