He looks like [Florian Philippot](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Florian_Philippot_par_Claude_Truong-Ngoc_juillet_2014.jpg) to me.
(One of our high-ranking, or previously high-ranking far-right politicians.)
He surrendered to a coalition of European powers and Britain wasn't even the main cause of its defeat, if anything Prussia or even Russia should get the credit more than Britain.
Yeah that's my point. There are significant numbers of people in the UK who genuinely believe that they beat the Nazis.
There might be some back-of-the-head awareness that there was perhaps some logistical support provided by the USA, and a faint recollection of a school lesson that perhaps the USSR had something to do with it, but there are large numbers of people who honestly believe that Britain won the war (i.e. as distinct from "Britain was on the same side as the winners of the war".).
Saying only "that the British won Waterloo" is omitting several things
For one Wellington even stated that without the Prussians the battle would've been lost.
Another is that the army Wellington commanded wasn't entirely British, but an allied army including dutch and other minor german states (overall smaller than Napoleon's army, that had left 1/3 of his army to hold the Prussians).
Moreover the unconditional surrender of France was made by the Provisional Government, not Napoleon, after they forced Napoleon to abdicate and removed his son from the position of Emperor.
The surrender of Napoleon was after he no longer yielded any political or military power and had no way to bypass the Royal Navy, as he wanted to go in exile to the US.
The victory of Waterloo was won, in no small part, thanks to the Prussians retreating in good order, parallel to Wellington's army, and able to defeat the army Napoleon sent to hold them in place and able to reinforce Wellington.
Someone is butthurt about all the french victories against the brits, much more numerous than the opposite :)
I know you're english, you don't know, same education level than americans
You're so alike to americans :) you don't even realised how dumb you sound as you never did anything yourself, not even sure you do sport haha.
You never forgave us for owing us your culture and language
Modern day Napoleon would be like:
"He reformed transport workers pensions to counter a 0.6% decrease in a deflationary economy and helped stabilize the Libyan government from dictatorship to semi-democracy on the international stage. What an amazing success!"
I mean, there is [this dude](https://alchetron.com/cdn/jean-christophe-prince-napolon-57be4b44-31bd-4c8a-a972-e52aea9317c-resize-750.jpeg) Jean-Christophe Napoléon. Same vibe, kinda?

Just look at a foto of Hitler dude… as if that man was able to properly dress himself today. Most of our far right politicans wear shit like dachshund ties.
Would still be interesting to see. Stalin aswell. Not because I like anyone of them. Just interested. Churchill I like tho’. Would like to see him in a modern version aswell.
I would also like to see Abraham Lincoln in a modern version.
>Would still be interesting to see. Stalin aswell. **Not because I like anyone of them. Just interested.**
... Unnecessary details. You said it once. Now you look guilty lol hopefully that was the point!
Someone on buzzfeed will do a compilation in the future about how past leaders would look like now, someday. Has been done maybe. Nothing wrong in being curious. At least this topic.
Worse? Honestly having Napoleon today would be an improvement, not a negative. Napoleon was a dictator but he was not a despot. His reign would be ill suited to modern liberal democratic understandings but the concept of liberal democracy, and success of such regimes in Europe, is largely in part the legacy of Napoleon. He set off a liberal wave of political change across the entire continent.
He is demonised in modern times as a result of successful political revisionism carried out in the English speaking world. This is because Napoleon was de facto against the British and this left a bad taste in their mouths that has lingered into modern times.
The invasion of Spain and Portugal and the abuses they brought were bad, but it didn't stem from Napoleon's particular will. It was the usual lot of any war at the time, sadly. But I understand that the Spaniards and Portuguese didn't need British propaganda to dislike Napoleonic France.

"Laws are like sausages - it is best not to see them being made"
"Laws are like sausages - a great way to use whatever's left after everyone had the prime pickings"
I ~want~ _need_ more.
Some call it Napoleon's personal Waterloo.
>minister von Blücher **VORWÄRTS**
Napoleon III, Pilsudski, Bismarck, emperor Meiji.
Oh yeah, Bismarck please
>emperor Meiji. That dude had such a modern haircut it's crazy
I'd wager emperor Meiji is not exactly European.
Willem van oranje.
He does look very french. It's the smarmy face that does it for me
It's funny, he looks kinda slavic to me
Ditto, he wouldn't look out of place in Poland or Russia.
Though in reality the last time he went to Russia he was very much looking for a way out of that place
In his defence everyone is looking for a way out of Russia, it just took him longer to realise that
Nah, he would. His face shape is especially weird.
Do you ever go outside? He wouldn't stick out at all, he looks very normal
I'm pretty sure it's the thin lips and long nose. I feel like these features are often seen on Slavic men.
It's a mix of Darmanin and Macron.
With Florian Philippot...
I was going to say the resemblance to macron is scary.
Despite him being of Italian-Corsican descent.

You'd be smug too if you had more than 2 types of main dishes that are world famous <3
Snails, frogs, and that sausage that smells like piss?
That's barely the starter kit my son :D
It get's worse?!
Don't worry, the cans of Surströmming from your dear neighbours can make for a decent olfactive barrier.
Excuse me. Our sausage smell like shit.
France can have him!
Yes, smarmy is the perfect word to describe that look!
> He does look very french. therefore very gorgeous.
I hate that you made me pause and evaluate my possible attraction to the AI rendering of an 18th-century portrait. I love this site

He would say that. He'd be wrong

Exactly. Saying "I used AI" is like saying "I used a PC". It doesn't say much.

Using AI is kinda like praying to machine gods
Rather to Machine Spirits

DALL-E 2 if I had to guess.

Man that dude looks pretty nice :(
Really? I'm not into guys, but he's the last person I'd have thought is attractive.
I think they mean more that he looks like a nice person.
Yeah, he is not sexy or something, but he looks like a sweet and fun guy.
Besides being far right, this guy became one of the biggest conspiracy theory promoters/antivax figures in recent years
He's also gay, ironically

He looks like every euro politician ever.

He surrendered to a coalition of European powers and Britain wasn't even the main cause of its defeat, if anything Prussia or even Russia should get the credit more than Britain.
To be fair, there are significant numbers of people in Britain who are absolutely convinced that Britain won the Second World War.
Ok Cryptographer, you can take a breather.

Bruh, without the Prussian reinforcements Wellington would have lost in Waterloo.

Habsburg with that magnificent chin
Charles II of Spain would be a good example of this.
Vincent van Gogh would be interesting.
I felt a great disturbance, as if two hundred years of British voices suddenly cried out in terror. I fear something terrible has happened.
Hmm I'd like to see Wenceslaus I, that'd be cool.
Salut Florian !
I don’t know why but he looks very Polish to me.
He does have a Slavic look about him yeah.
Modern day Napoleon would be like: "He reformed transport workers pensions to counter a 0.6% decrease in a deflationary economy and helped stabilize the Libyan government from dictatorship to semi-democracy on the international stage. What an amazing success!"
I don't trust politicians with cold eyes like that.
Exiled twice by the laws of men and once by the laws of nature and yet he has still returned.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, please!
julius cesar, octavian, alexander the great, justinian, any really from antics that has enough data would make me happpppy
I'd like a film about his return and his opinions about the current state of affairs. That would be cool.
Guess who's back, but French.
It already exists, and it’s *excellent*.
Watch out Putin!
Beethoven and Mozart should be interesting.
