      The movie Waterloo depicted it super well haha,
      Seriously one of the greatest generals of all time an insanely good record.
      Not to mention his monumental leaps in legal code, law and stuff, limiting the church was genius, he's not wrong about it just being used to oppress people and maintain the upper class historically
      Wasn't perfect, definitely some shitty stuff especially from a modern perspective, but obviously using modern sensibilities applied to historical figures isn't really applicable
      Like his fuckups with slavery

      Well it's a snowball effect once you have so many subscribers isn't it? When you release a video your influx of people with notifications at once is going to cause the system to think the flood of traffic is a trending video when it's not really trending at all, it's just your already existing subscribers viewing it, but then it gets put on trending list and does trend. Hence snowball effect.

She refused to come to his coronation in 1804 or even set foot in France when he was "Emperor". She retired to Italy, never learnt French and died disappointed in her son. In a way, getting his mother's approval drove him. He never got it.
