He ends up as emperor, and France basically takes over a bunch of Europe. That doesn't actually end all that well for Napoleon, but things basically turn out all right." She's glossing over a lot, but why give him all the bad news, like Napoleon's idiotic march to Russia? "But he did kind of export the revolution all over the world. Nationalism became a big thing. The system of nobility in France stayed dead, and the country ended up being a constitutional republic. A lot of people died, but it totally changed the course of European history."
It seems a rather pale sacrifice, when she looks at it from his perspective. It's one thing to read it in a textbook, and a very different thing to be living it.
