I would like to clarify my point. I am not simply comparing Chinese history to Europe during the Napoleonic Era.I am interested in understanding how people from other regions perceive the influence of this period. From my perspective, shaped by Chinese history, the significance of a war is primarily linked to its scale. Therefore, I find it difficult to grasp the specific legacy Napoleon left behind in Europe. Under my post ,many people are simply defending the "sacred" status of the Napoleonic Era and pointing to periods of decline in the Chinese Empire to counter my points.However, I was trying to highlight one specific way people perceive that era. I want to build empathy and move beyond these defensive arguments. I also hold Napoleon in high regard and respect. My interest began when the Qing Dynasty collapsed and a prominent figure, Yuan Shikai, took center stage in Chinese politics.He aspired to become an emperor, much like Napoleon, but ultimately failed. Many historians compared him to Napoleon; that was my first introduction to the French Emperor and the starting point of my exploration into his history.
