    I really don't think the US would of intervented. From the Start of the US till World War I the US always tried to stay out of European wars. Also in the 1840s the US was fighting Mexico. I think the only way we would of intervented is if he invaded Canada or the US its self.

    There was no way he could ferry an entire army away to France withouth the British realizing it and sinking the fleet. Also, MacArthur left his men on the Philippines and that did not make him a terrible person.

    I dont understand how in the world Napoleon was a tyrant. What the hell did he do that was so bad? I mean Napoleons Code was good, he was ELECTED to his position, and he was ORDERED by the government to return to France. The only people HE DECLARED WAR on was Russia and Spain. Everyone else had to be a bitch and declare war on him. And i thought there were at least 7-8 people that voted him a hero. Nowhere near 17 people voted him a tyrant. It must have screwed up when the site was updated.

    Well you can switch to the dark format. At the very bottom of the page click on JVS light and change it to JVS dark.

    Napoleon was no coward not by any meaning of the word, he was one of the greatest tacticians in humant history and even when everyone was against him, he still managed beat them time and again.
