Blog Question:
Describe Napoleon’s character and leadership style and discuss how Napoleon has had positive and/or negative effects on Europe using specific expamles and details.



Napoleon Bonaparte was a selfish person who fought in battles only because it would benefit him since he knew that he would get the land and the credit for everything. He looked at every situation like he already knew that he was going to win the battle, and he always made sure that people knew he was the best. One example of this is how he made bloody sure that people found out about all of his wins, and when he lost a battle he made sure that absolutely no one found out. Napoleon had a positive influence on Europe because at the start of his reign he made the French prosperous and power again which was highly needed after the destruction that the French Revolution and King Louis XVI created. Also because of Napoleon, the French began to be proud about their country creating a strong feeling of nationalism throughout France. Napoleon had a negative influence on Europe because he lead the French into so many battles killing off thousands and thousands of French people as well as the opposing countries soldiers. One example of this is when Napoleon led his army into Russia, where he started off with 300,000 French men and left with 10,000.
