Napoleon, known as the King of Kings, left an indelible mark on history that still captivates us today. As we examine the map of the Battle of Waterloo from the 19th century, we are transported back to that fateful day on June 18th, 1815. Hegel's admiration for Napoleon becomes apparent as we delve into their complex relationship and its impact on philosophy. The oil painting depicting the Battle of Waterloo allows us to witness firsthand the chaos and bravery displayed by both sides. It serves as a reminder of Napoleon's strategic genius and his ultimate defeat in this decisive battle. The map showcasing Napoleon's exile on St Helena offers a glimpse into his final years spent far away from power and glory.

Gillray's satirical depiction reveals how deeply intertwined politics were with Napoleon's reign during this tumultuous era. The Napoleonic Wars brought forth many heroes, such as the cuirassiers - French heavy cavalry who fought valiantly for their emperor. Their strength and loyalty symbolize the spirit that permeated throughout France during these turbulent times. Stepping away from military matters, let us explore a different side – one depicted in "The Garden of Earthly Delights" from the 1500s. This artwork hints at his grand ambitions beyond warfare; he sought to shape society and culture under his rule. Bismarck's encounter with Napoleon III highlights how influential this enigmatic figure remained long after his reign ended. Even posthumously, he continued to inspire political intrigue and fascination among leaders across Europe.
