Which is why it's good he was defeated. My mothers side of the family is from Poland, and when they livd there Napoleon is revered for crushing the former government there.

And like the famous french military history article says, france only owned militarily when they were lead by a non-frenchman...a corsican named napoleon, who was owned by england.
Napoleon has no knowledge of naval warfare. British Naval Supremacy was one of th emajor factors to his loss. He still is the reason life is the way it is in alot of countries and not still absolute monachys.
so...america is suposed to be jealous of napoleon making the polacs happy? Last time I checked we liberated western europe from the nazis. Take your anti american rhetoric else where.

Everyone knows America won both world wars for the allies, don't even try to make that argument. True our allies did fight....just everything they used to fight with was made in the good ol usa.

Without the united states the russians wouldnt have won...its a simple as that. No one nation had the power to take on germany by themselves.

Sure changed your story.

Take russia out of the picture, just say the pact between Germany and Russia never ended. I doubt that Britian, France or America even together could of stood a chance.

I respectfully disagree Pyro. There is no doubt that having two fronts weakened the Germans but The United States was just getting rolling when the war ended. Germany had built up their military for years before the US entered the war and we had to start from scratch. Would the war have taken longer? Probably. Would the outcome have been different? Never.

I still doubt Germany at it's peak wouldn't of crushed any country. America also didn't have many causilities of war coming into the war, Germany had many.
