Also as the statement contains the statement "it seems" which is more of a conjectural statement than something grounded a source. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC) | Also as the statement contains the statement "it seems" which is more of a conjectural statement than something grounded a source. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC) | ||
It is historically inaccurate to describe Napoleon as a tyrant. If you recall your Doctor Who history, you will remember - as seen in season one, in 1964 - that 'the Tyrant of France' is actually a description of Robespierre, who ran the Revolutionary era known as The Terror. Napoleon was the man who put a stop to the executions and the bloodshed. In France, he was very popular: in 1815, when he escaped from exile and resumed command in Paris, tens of thousands flocked to his cause, his Army re-formed, and he marched on Belgium at its head. He, unlike Robespierre, had genuine popularity among his own people. You may be mistaking him for 20th Century leaders, such as Stalin or Hitler. But he was no more a tyrant than, say, Oliver Cromwell had been: he was just a strong military leader.
