I think that Napoleon was a hero of the revolution. He is a hero to his country and the people in it for whom he created the post-revolutionary order and an extraordinary empire expanding in Europe. He represented freedom to the French since they were no longer ruled by a monarchy. Napoleon made himself emperor of France and as an emperor, he had the vision of a joined together Europe but he was not able to accomplished this since some rulers were against him.
