YOU DECIDE SERIES: Napoleon’s legacy is one of contradictions. To some, he is the ultimate military genius, a visionary who spread revolutionary principles, modernized governments, and rewrote the laws of Europe. To others, he is a tyrant whose ambition led to millions of deaths, widespread suffering, and the suppression of liberty in the very nations he claimed to liberate. Today, on this episode of History Shorts’ new series, YOU DECIDE, we examine both perspectives, exploring the man, his wars, and the enduring debate: Was Napoleon a brilliant strategist and reformer, or a ruthless despot?
