Does this apply to Napoleon?

Cause he was an absolute chad!

Our modern life wouldn’t have been like this without the Napoleonic code.

Edit: thought people would catch the slight sarcasm cause I used the absolute chad meme, but just in case: there are no good conquerors.

Don't forget he also reinstated slavery throughout the French empire, which had been banned by the Republic he toppled. He also led thousands upon thousands to their death and caused massive loss of life in Europe. He did some good, but his legacy is definitely mixed to say the least
