Napoleon CC.

TWO HUNDRED YEARS [CC] SINCE THE DEATH OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. AND HOW SHALL THE MAN BE REMEMBERED?

"France can’t cancel Napoleon"

As extracted from the article BY JOHN LICHFIELD.

How will Emmanuel Macron mark the general's difficult bicentenary?

"Paris may have avenues, boulevards, bridges and a railway station named after their most famous military leader’s armies, battles and treaties. But nowhere will you find an Avenue or Place or Boulevard named after Napoleon Bonaparte himself — apart from a narrow Rue Bonaparte on the Left Bank."

In 21st century France, Bonaparte is everywhere. And nowhere.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF NAPOLEON OF COURSE NOT LIMITED TO THE BATTLEFIED AND WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED AS BEING SO!

"The Napoleonic Code of 1804 remains the basis of French law (and that of several other European and Latin American countries). He created the baccaulaureat, the départements, the prefects, investigating magistrates, lycées, the Banque de France, the légion d’honneur."

NAPOLEON OBVIOUSLY A GREAT MAN IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE OF THE WORD GREAT. A MAN WIELDING POWER AND DOING SO ON A CONTINENTAL BASIS WITHOUT CONSTRAINTS.

Modern France as it exists today acknowledged as a CREATION of Napoleon. Precepts of the French Revolution institutionalized and done so because of the efforts of Bonaparte.

Napoleon too [perhaps and this is the fear] seen as NOT great by modern standards. Rather perceived as a megalomaniac not the slightest hesitant to wage war on a colossal scale to achieve his ends.

Historical figures of repute held to such a high standard by modern standards are not exempt from having their statues ripped down and their reputations denigrated to the extreme. Even a Napoleon not exempt.

Step easy says Macron? So I see it as being so.
