When Napoleon fought in battles and wars, he believed that he could conquer land while using his devious attacking skills and tactics on other countries but a war in particular is the French Revolution. His skills and tactics involved guerrilla warfare, sneak attacking, and using new technological weapons. Napoleon used the size of his army to his advantage to defeat the countries he did. While Napoleon was the general of his magnificent army, his army was so large, the nickname for it was the “Grande Armée.” He had over 600,000 men at his disposal to use whenever he wanted.
