He ruined France.
He wasn't butcher. At least, he wasn't worse
that any other leaders - not worse than England, which started wars over and over, which caused thousands of deaths, or Russia, whose army as usual plundered Poland, or others. At least for one he should be remembered: ,,slavery is abolitioned'' in Polish constitution. Modern Rights. Progress. When he was defeated progress was stopped for many years, and feudals and conervatives were tryumphant for many years
He wasn't ideal of course, but comparing him to Stalin or HItler?
1) In which he was different for Tzar of Russia, kings of Austria or Prussia, or England?
2) Which nation he persecuted?
3) did he make extermination camps?
4) did he massacred innocent population (except amount of massacre which was done by _all_ armies of that period)
