dracoserpent asked:


Hello,
Just wondering, would it be relevant to connect Napoléon Bonaparte with fatal ambition or something of that nature? If so, would you consider him as one of those brilliant albeit flawed leaders who fell to their ruin or death because of an inordinate lust for power, and how? I’m pretty much an amateur when it comes to modern European history, and would greatly appreciate some concrete examples. Thanks in advance!

~Shexy~ asked:


The 1950s and early 1960s was a time of fear with the hardening of the Cold War and a time of tranquility associated with material prosperity and the birth of the Baby Boom generation. How did these two disparate realities play out during this period?
