Question

napoleon bonaparte
the presence of a general is necessary: he is the head, he is the all in all of an army. it was not the roman army conquered gaul, but caesar; it was not the carthaginians made the armies of the republic tremble at the very gates of rome, but hannibal; it was not the macedonian army marched to the indus, but alexander.
according to napoleon, who deserved the credit france’s successful conquest of europe?
○ the roman army
○ alexander and hannibal
○ the french army
○ napoleon

Explanation:

The passage emphasizes that a general (like Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander) is the key to an army's success, not the army itself. By analogy, for France's conquest, the general (Napoleon) would deserve credit, not the French Army or others like Roman army/Alexander - Hannibal (who are examples for other conquests).

Answer:

D. Napoleon
