It is well known that Napoleon had syphillis and an advanced case can effect the mind, so perhaps he was a bit mad at the end of his life. I think he was just a small man with a big ego in his earlier days and had the money and the power to go along with the ego and that was the reason for his success in his military endeavors. I believe he ended his life as mad as a hatter.

No he was a hero. When the monarchies of Europe wanted to crush the French revolution he defended France against all comers. He was not mad, far from it.

He was not mad. He brought the ideals of the revolution to the rest of Europe. He did however make mistakes. Invading Russia was a mistake, one which Hitler did not learn from.

Mad? of course not. He had just what they need to win the war, he just became too big headed after. He was definitely better than Musolini though.

He wasn't mad he was very smart. He just got greedy and thought he was entitled to everything. When you go as far as he did, you create a lot of enemies.

He had an inferiority syndrom because he was very small and that made him want to be big, that is why he went mad trying to prove how big he is.

But keep in mind that unconventional thinking is sometimes labelled as madness

I'm not sure about "Mad" per-se, but most if not all of history's geniouses were at least a little eccentric!

No, he was a brilliant general, but was very aggrogant which in the end caused his downfall.

No, he was a military strategic genius.
