Napoleon may not have been a general of utter genius, but he was very good; he may not have been the best politician of his age, but he was often superb; he may not have been a perfect legislator, but his contributions were hugely important!. Whether you admire him or hate him, the real and undoubted genius of Napoleon, the qualities that have drawn praise such as Promethean, was to combine all these talents, to have somehow - be it luck, talent or force of will - risen from chaos, then built, steered and spectacularly destroyed an empire before doing it all again in a tiny microcosm one year later!. Whether hero or tyrant, the reverberations were felt across Europe for a century!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A couple of the important legacies that Napoleon gave us are central banks, and canned food!.

As for being "the most important person in the history of humankind," I'd suggest that the person who convinced others to leave Africa would be one who had much more of an impact!.

Another much more influential person by far would be the person who first got the idea to use the marks standing for quantities of things stand for words instead, and thereby invented Writing!.!.!. Some scholars believe that person was female, and know she (or he) was from somewhere in the Fertile Crescent in Middle East, by the way!.

He injected the virus of democracy to the rest of Europe with his invasions!. It was not his goal but you can't bring soldiers who believe in equality between social classes and climbing ranks on merit alone and not on bloodline or title without this attitude rubbing off on the lower classes of the kingdoms they invaded!.
For myself I can't stand the man!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's the Bank of France and the Napoleonic Code and I disagree that he's the most important person in history!. Because he screwed up his campaign in Russia and lost the Battle of Waterloo 2 years later!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
