Napoleon Bonaparte

In my opinion, Napoleon was a really good leader in battle but he seemed too ambitious in his political actions. He knew how to win a battle, but in didn’t know when enough was enough.
Napoleon was an extremely smart person. He was able to graduate a two year military program in one year. His intelligence allowed him to take over most of Europe. His intelligence also allowed him to escape the island of Elba when he was exiled there. He was also fairly smart in his political actions, because he was able to fix the financial crisis and also made everyone pay taxes, but he was overly ambitious in the amount of territory he wanted to control. He was smart but he didn’t know when to stop trying to gain more land.
Napoleon was very selfish in his political aims. He created to continental system to try and starve out Britain, but all it accomplished was having his own countries go against him. When Russia traded with Britain because they had to, Napoleon tried to invade them only because they went against him. Napoleon also only created public school to have a better army. He created lycées to have a more educated army. He was more interested in his own ego than his country. He was a very selfish person in his decisions.
Napoleon was a good leader in battle. He knew how to win a battle and to keep his troops moral up. Other than that he was a selfish man. He didn’t care about the other countries he controlled when he made political decisions. He only cared if he controlled everyone that he wanted. Because of these things, he was a okay leader in my opinion.
