How responsible was Napoleon for 80 thousand of his countrymen being wiped off the face of the Earth by Haitians? He could've simply allowed slavery to be outlawed, the "white supremacy" justification doesn't make sense when you end up leading to the destruction of your own population

>implying Nappy wasn't playing 5D chess and going to use Haiti as a launching platform to Louisiana, and from there kick off a war with the US and Spain simultaneously while attracting dissidents of both countries to form a new French-American Republican
VGH... what could have been

I'm going to assume, from what I can gather from your ESL talk, that you meant "why did he go after the slaves on Haiti first".
Because a) Santo Domingo was a major Carribean island that pumped out resources, b) letting it go would have been a stain on Nappy's record, and c) what better way to get the French troops accustomed to dealing with the guerilla warfare they would need to engage with once they reached the continent. French officers getting first-hand experience in fighting by non-continental methods would have been the key to success in Louisiana and further on.
>tfw ywn get to see the Napoleonic Wars referred to as the Second Seven Years War

>>18102623
why did the Haitians brag about genociding people who shat themselves to death?
And why did they steal their clothes?
>>
>>18102754
>genociding people
0/10 got me to reply
>>
>>18102756
>it's not a genocide when my side does it
ack yourself
>>
>>18102770
>my side
>ack
Aren't you late for being a retarded faggot somewhere else, /int/nigger?
>>
>>18102731
You said he wanted to use Haiti as a platform to then attack the USA. But when?, after or before the slaves revolt and kill the french?
>>
>>18102775
>no argument
seriously just stop. it was a genocide and France is morally obliged to ostracize Haiti for eternity
>>
>>18102781
The slaves had already revolted retard. Nappy's plan in sending troops was to put them in their place, but they all got wasted by Carribean diseases before they ever had a chance.

>>18102785
>>>/int/nigger
>>
>>18102792
So Napoleon allowed the revolt to happen so then he could send troops to take Haiti and train them for later attack on the USA?
>>
>>18102798
>So Napoleon allowed the revolt to happen
Are you being retarded on purpose, or....?
>>
>>18102792
>no argument
I accept your cohen-cession
better luck next time
>>
>>18102808
You said he was playing 5D chess, what is the 5D chess exactly?
>>
>>18102818
Why are you on a history board if you're this historically illiterate?
>>
>>
Its always the most retarded faggots responding with "no argument"
Maybe I don't feel like having a discussion with a retarded faggot
>>
>>18102830
