Question

What are three examples of effective leadership by Napoleon?

Answer 1

Undoubtedly Napoleon was a gifted military commander, perhaps the greatest military commander of all time, who made creative use of the artillery to support his infantry. However, Napoleon didn't necessarily help others if historians take the end result of his series of military campaigns into consideration--17 years of warfare, six million Europeans killed, France bankrupt, many of her most prosperous overseas colonies, such as Haiti, lost. He also set out to conquer Europe not once, but twice, so he was a slow learner.
