Possibly being a bit silly here, but just some similarities & coincidences I thought of today:- Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte both rose to power during a time of a new European democratic republic and became dictators afterwards- Both invaded the majority of Europe through a massive war/series of wars, plus campaigns in North Africa- They attempted to invade Russia but failed; seen as a turning point ultimately leading to their downfall. Russian winter didn't help in both cases- They were defeated by a coalition with big involvement from the British- Before involved with politics they were corporals (ok, maybe not entirely true- Both were considered 'foreigners' to the nations they ruled over; Napoleon could have been Italian Corsican and Hitler was Austrian by originAdd more and maybe we can start a new conspiracyIn all seriousness though, I wonder if Hitler ever studied Napoleon in depth. I was thinking about this after I watched a documentary on Stalin and how he was paranoid about even a 'corporal like Napoleon could become dictator'
