France claims only one prominent soldier named Napoleon, but he hailed from Corsica, part of the Genovese "empire." His name was really Buonaparte. He ruled all of Europe at one time, killed hundreds of thousands of people, including French, and is commemorated by a large tomb in Paris that few people ever see. It is a dusty, ugly mausoleum with hole-in-the-floor-no-paper heads. Sorta reflects the French ideals of culture and civilization. Yuk!

Also his tomb lists "Moscow" as a victory. No.
