Was Napoleon A Hero Or A Tyrant?

In my opinion I think the the forces inside the French Empire were more important to control rather than the forces outside of the Empire because, there were only four countries free from Napoleons control which were Sweden, Britain, Portugal, and the Ottoman Empire. As for all of the countries in the French Empire that Napoleon controlled he also somehow ruled independent countries that included the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, Spain, and some of the German Kingdoms in Central Europe. Some of the rulers of these countries were even members of Napoleons family, as for that you can see that Napoleon didn't really care about anyone he just wanted to gain all of the power he could get. The reason why I think Napoleon only needed to deal with the people inside of the Empire is because he didn't really need to worry about the forces outside because it was unlikely for them to want to come into the French Empire

Throughout the centuries knowledge can be in various ways be claimed to be the key component to developing a strong civilized society.

Following the Reign of Terror, France was ruled by a corrupt five-man governing body called the Directory, which was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte through a coup d’état.

The French people viewed Napoleon favorably, as his military and political genius would likely lead to the creation of a prosperous and united France.

To what factors do you attribute Napoleon’s victory at Austerlitz ‘We are babies in the hands of a giant’ claimed Russian Tsar after the defeat of Austro-Russian forces against the Grande Armée, in the Battle of Austerlitz on 2 December 1805 (Fisher, 2001 p. 42). Indeed, the ‘sun of Austerlitz’ illuminated Na-poleon’s one of the most perfectly orchestrated battle and the Grande Armée’s first full appearance (McLynn, 1998 pp. 345-347). Consequently, France and Austria signed the Treaty of Pressburg. The Austrians exited the war and Russians agreed to withdraw home (Rothenberg, 1980 p. 46).

Napoleon spread enlightenment ideas that benefited the people in France. He created the Napoleonic code, which was basically the first written document of laws. That meant that the judge could not change anything, but the laws applied to all citizens equally and protected their rights.

He also created a system of meritocracy, giving positions based on people's talents and not to the ones that are higher classes.

On the whole, Napoleon is an opportunist because of Napoleon's selfish desire, the unfaithful behaviors, and the ruthless style.
