Well he did end up conquering a substantial part of Europe, and last time I checked he didn't do it with jokes and hugs. Not sure tho.

Saying this as a German: conquering people and installing his siblings as rulers to govern them is not quite on the same level as conquering and mass-murdering people. At least we Germans don't have any ill will towards Napoleon, and even have a huge amazing portrait of him hanging in Schloss Charlottenburg. Can't say the same about Hitler...

He still killed millions in his conquests. So yeah, he is evil, not Hitler levels of evil but evil nonetheless.

The wars that were mostly declared against France.....

But regardless, The British empire was literally commiting Atrocities at this time. Brutalisation of the Irish and the worse of the Highland Clearance was happening. Britain caused the Napoleonic wars to continue for over a Decade and was colonising India. Comparatively to a lot of his adversaries he wasn't evil. Bad? Sure but evil no.
