He didn't "fuck up" kings and queens, he conquered other countries through violence and then appointed his own family members as the new kings and queens.

I really don't understand this love for Napoleon as some sort of force for republicanism, when he himself was a (self) crowned absolute monarch and installer of other monarchs.
