<p>[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 87558, member: 4097"]no honestly I believe the French revere Napoleon as much as the U.S. does anyone of our Mount Rushmore presidents. The Napoleonic period was France's high-water mark and golden age. Although his later years he was consumed with war and conquest which generally give him the stamp of the beast, the first half of his reign showed his work-aholic genius at it's brightest. He brought France into the forefront of the 19th century, his Napoleonic Code and overall civic policies are still used in some form or another world wide. He is considered the father of modern nationalism in Europe, whisking away the old regimes and placing Europe in a new era.</p><p><br /></p><p>He died on the island of Saint Helena in the south Atlantic.
