Adverse comments about Napoleon

Napoleon’s mistakes:

1. Prolonged wars resulted in the death of a large number of people and deprived people of their most basic right to survive;

2. Use war to and use force to solve problems and establish prestige and honor, which will have a bad impact on future generations. Therefore, after the war, Europe established the Versailles System, which first advocated peaceful negotiation to resolve disputes, which continues to this day. Although wars continued in the middle, mankind has increasingly recognized the importance of peace. From the League of Nations to the United Nations, mankind has never given up. During this period, the 1848 Revolution, Prussia’s Iron Blood, Lenin’s Proletarian Dictatorship, World War I and World War II were all affected by it. Can physics unify Europe? Who doesn’t want honor and glamor? ! ;

3. Attract and influence human beings with personal charm, and have a very negative impact on modern society. Napoleon's army attracted people from all over Europe to join, and the worship was extremely fanatical. When Napoleon was brought back to Paris, all Parisians went out to commemorate and mourn, which had never happened before. Human beings have just emerged from religious fanaticism and fallen into heroic fanaticism. From then on, human beings' trust and obedience to heroes reached a new level. From Hitler to Mao Zedong, leaders have become myths. When the myths are shattered, people cannot believe it. People's freedom of thought and equality were invisibly deprived and turned into tools;

History is the history of people. Napoleon destroyed the balance of the entire human society for his own honor. From this point of view, everything about him All credit is in vain.

Napoleon’s character faults

He was too strong and confident in character

This character could help him when he was emerging

He overcame difficulties and fought against all opinions to achieve brilliant success

Having the spirit to succeed despite thousands of people

This cannot but be said to be the basis of Napoleon's success

However, the success of this character

is based on correct judgment

When Napoleon stood at the pinnacle of his career

His sensibility has defeated his reason

Becomes the master of his character

His calculating character has been buried by his passion to conquer the world

At this time

Napoleon's strong self-confidence

has been the propellant that accelerated his demise

At this time, he also defied everyone's opinion

But that was a devastating decision!

It is also useful to discuss the mistakes of great people. For example, when Churchill was Lord of the Admiralty during World War I, he organized and planned a campaign to attack the Bosporus, but the result was a disastrous failure, so he could not He was kicked out of the cabinet and ran for parliament after the war, but failed once or twice. There is a very interesting photo of Churchill standing in the rain after losing the election, very desolate. In addition, he also lost a lot when he went to New York while trading stocks. Fortunately, his old friends in the stock market helped him. This shows that great people are not always successful, and they also make miscalculations.

The same is true for Napoleon. It’s just that he has been mythologized. He is a wise man and a brave man, and some of his original features have been distorted. The continental blockade order is the stupidest part of his strategy. I can hardly imagine that he will Coming up with such a stupid and useless strategy, his brother Louis, King of the Netherlands, opposed this policy many times. Marshal Davout has been stationed in Berlin just to implement the continental blockade order. As a result, one of his rare famous generals and an elite team were always He was bound in Berlin. Later, in 1814, his Mali garrison surrendered, forcing Napoleon to abdicate. If Davout had guarded Paris at that time, it might have been a great guarantee. After Napoleon was restored, he learned his lesson and let Davout guard Paris. It's a pity that this time he lost at Waterloo, and Paris was not a problem at all, so a wrong decision always leads to a chain reaction.

His attack on Spain was also a serious mistake. I don’t understand why he wanted to fight on two fronts. Moreover, the King of Spain is pro-French, so he insisted on conquering Spain? Everyone knows the consequences even if I don’t tell you.

These are two major mistakes in his policy. Let’s not talk about attacking Russia, because attacking Russia is actually inevitable. Sooner or later, he and Russia will have a war, so I don’t think he is attacking Russia. A serious misstep, at least not as obvious as above.

As for Bonaparte’s bravery, we have always thought that he was a fearless and extraordinary figure, but was there ever a time when he was timid and fearful? It should be true. At that time at the Arcola Bridge, he was hesitant to make a decision and was very indecisive. As a result, his generals asked him to give orders. General Augereau said, for the sake of your voice and the lives of the troops, You have to attack, so he attacks.

He also has moments of timidity.

Uncover the great man. There was just a pile of bones inside.
