He was a great man. The only thing I think he did wrong was killing my personal hero, Adolf Hitler

I'm a character in a Chuck Tingle novel so I'm going to prevent WWII by traveling back in time and getting pounded in the butt by Hitler. Wish me luck.

Ghengis Khan, Attila, and Napoleon are the three ravager/conqueror types I've seen people compared to most frequently in that fashion prior to WWII, with Tamerlane also popping up occasionally for those who are a little more dialed in historically.

Napoleon was the good guy tho

He was still portrayed as a boogieman figure who overthrew democracy and tried to conquer the world.

Yeah, I get it. It's just funny that the reactionary powers of Europe which were actively subjugating and/or genociding half the world aren't considered the true villains of the era; while Napoleon was spreading liberalism & modernity throughout Europe.

I don't disagree, but there is a point in his history where it kinda stops being "here comes the hope of the Revolution to free us from autocratic chains" and starts leaning into "oh poo poo, that French rear end in a top hat's coming to smash us and put one of his jerk brothers* in charge of our country."

*Not counting Louis who by all accounts was a chill guy and actually made a sincere attempt to actually do right by the Dutch and rule them as they wanted to be ruled.
