ah
i just realized why you dont like napoleon
I greatly respect Napoleon's military genius in strategy, tactics, logistics and vision. But as a ruler he was absolutely ruthless
that he was
but all were during that period
they had to be
such were the times
His personality as well, was that of a tyrant. He was a genius, but also full of himself.
He comoletely abandoned his entire army of Egypt in order to stage a coup in France to proclaim himself first consul. It would have to be the British who transported them back to France
he was an egomaniac for sure
but in the end
he brought more positive changes then bad
Well France at the time did need a no bullshit leader to stabilise it just like now

@Fitzydog its a bunch of things, but that's one of them, coupled with thinner soil and erosion as a result of not having trees to keep soil in place - if the soil was naturally thicker, like in western europe or canada, then it'd need more erosion for it to dissappear
also, it was ancient times when people depended more on the land and less on say, planes, trains and automobiles that can just match any food deficit so long as there's enough money
That's a really cool photograph

@Warp Dukat Yes they did
And it was basically useless due to the collapse of the Soviet Union
