When I visited Poland, I was told that Poland is the only country that has a statue honoring Napoleon.

And of course he’s mentioned in the Polish National Anthem, because he did help create the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.

well, Nappy is mentioned in "Dał nam przykład Bonaparte, Jak zwyciężać mamy." -- Bonaparte has given us the example Of how we should prevail.

I think the French rev was a mistake in many ways and it, along with the partitions of Poland aroudn the same time lead to WWI and WWII and the holocaust.

Also, Napoleon was a slimebag to the Poles - promising but never delivering and ready to sell them out at the first chance.

However, he was a great general, no doubt about that and did give an example of how you can marshal your resources well
