Actually napoleon dif not see himself as a conquerer until AFTER his conquests. Every single war he was in was defensive. The powers of europe fidnt like this guy giving people rights and starting republivd while making them look dumb anf running vircles arounf them they just hated him bc he represented the idea thag nations can flourish without the old kings and systems
