@Strictmichael75 Bonaparte, of course!

@SpudMuffin he structured the country, we still have Napoleon laws today which are the basis of the country
As far as being a tyrant, I disagree, he was a fantastic military mind and war was the norm at the time

@Strictmichael75 the 200 year war? Well, there was the hundred years war, then there was what some people call the second hundred years war. Is that what you mean?
Normally I would love to debate history with you, you could certainly learn a few things! However, some of your other interests seem very dubious, so we will end this conversation now.
