Additional Synthesis: Napoleon could be compared to Genghis Khan, as both men were known for their outstanding military strength and tactics. While Genghis Khan employed steppe diplomacy to reach the top, Napoleon followed a similar route as he promised the revolutionaries a new government only to become their leader for life. In fact, Napoleon's overtaking of the imperial crown and making himself an autocratic ruler for life is also similar to Augustus/Octavian in the Roman empire. During the Roman empire, Octavian had soon taken the place of Julius Caesar yet slowly started taking more and more power away from the consuls and making himself a monarch. Napoleon employed similar tactics as well, as he slowly made himself a ruler for life although it wasn't the initial plan when revolutionaries appointed him as their general. Both Genghis Khan and Napoleon would also have two of the biggest empires ever during their reign due to their great skill in conquering other lands and military tactics unparalleled to others in their time. Albeit it might be a stretch, both Genghis Khan and Napoleon couldn't become true rulers of the Russian territory. Constant rebellions forced Mongols to only maintain a tributary relationship with the Golden Horde, yet not having an actual ruler. Consequently, Napoleon could never conquer Russia due to "General Winter." (Left) A comedic parody of the popular Bad Romance, educating us on the French Revolution. |
