...the French revolution led to Napoleon though, and several more wars after. Did they cause the better future? Was the substantial violence and ethnic cleansing _following_ WW2 part of that future? I am far from an expert on the subject but I've yet to hear the argument you are presenting. Curious to hear a more substantive version of it.
- rasz 6y agoFrench were already war happy without Napoleon. 30 year war, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, then we get to French and Indian War and American Revolution. If anything Napoleonic Wars brought peace and introduced never seen before liberties. Obviously being a Pole makes me strongly biased. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Warsaw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Warsaw
