"Greatest era"? By what measure is that true?

Maybe find something somewhat more grounded in reality to try to attract people to your site? "4000 pages on one of the most interesting eras in world history" would be both true and reasonable.

To me, it's obvious that Napoleon was the Hitler of his time.

How so? I could see in some ways. But in some aspects they seem like opposites.

The Godwin's law [1] (AKA Reductio ad Hitlerum [2]) triumphs once again.

No not really, a couple things that Napoleon has done:

- Probably one of the earliest proponents of the creation of a jewish state

- Created a legal system that is still in use today

- Essentially united Germany and changed the face of europe

- Was beloved by his people and his soldiers ( kinda Hitlerish??)

Truly a fascinating man, I recommend reading Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts, I could list more but i literally just woke up.

Well... They both invaded Russia for no good reason with great loss of human life, and at the end of the day they both had imperial/nationalistic motivations.
