England invaded most countries on this planet and as result everyone's talking your language on this board, yet you consider one non-english "dictator" as one of humanity's worst moments ? The logic is weird.

I never said he was one of humanities 'worst' but he was certainly no angel, he invaded countries by force, ie he was no good, the fact that countless other dictators have done the same thing in the past is irrelevant. I'm still not sure what England has to do with it??

Other European countries were invading countries all the time back then and 9/10 times the other country declared war on Napoleon first; his victories spread enlightenment across Europe, he did not 'conquer' the countries he won like a dictator who enslaves his enemies, in fact if anything he liberated them and that is why he faced next to no revolts within his own territories; in fact he ended slavery in tons of overseas regions controlled by these European nations. It was a time of prosperity and the British and Austrians and Russians with all their greed and desperation to keep autocratic rule took him down.

He wanted to invade the UK by force, not nice, he failed, Nelson defeated him. He made his brother emporer of Spain the Spanish didnt want him there, Wellington and his Spanush allies drove him out of Iberia. Nelson and Wellington are national heroes in the UK.

That's fine for English patriotism but look at it this way, had Napoleon won and took the U.K. He would have liberated all your colonies and end the slavery and abuse you guys were committing all around the world.
