  1. Napoleon didn't want to conquer the world. He wanted a powerful French Empire.
    887
  2. Richard Salisbury Well I think I must be in disagree with you and Arnold J. Toynbee (Idk for sure because I lost interest in reading your second comment, which seems to me to be simply a citation of why I should take this guy's word as truth, when in reality, reflection on history is subjective and differs from person to person, no matter how many books you read). In my opinion, Napoleon, Hitler, Churchill, Alexander the Great, etc. all knew that world conquest (that is to say, unite all people under one or a few sovereign states aka civilizations) is impossible. Simply put, logistically speaking, one person controlling so much land and billions of people is impossible. Now my support for this claim is simple: Empire. He who controls the most resources is thus the most powerful and thus controls the world the best he can; through the global economy. Basically, they all wanted world domination. Conquest is different. Conquest is the absorption of nations and people into one or a few nations. Napoleon wanted to have the most influence on Europe and the most powerful Empire.

  3. Napoleon was an atheist. "If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god." "Religion keeps the poor from murdering the rich."- Napoleon Bonaparte (source: brainyquote. com)
