After the Civil War Americans got busy expanding internally. With the frontier to conquer and virtually unlimited resources, they had little reason to look elsewhere. Americans generally had a high level of disdain for Europe, although wealthy Americans were often educated there and respected European cultural achievements in art, music and literature. Americans also felt secure from external threat because of their geographic isolation between two oceans, which gave them a sense of invulnerability. Until very late in the 19th century Americans remained essentially indifferent to foreign policy and world affairs.
What interests America did have overseas were generally focused in the Pacific and the Caribbean, where trade, transportation and communication issues commanded attention. To the extent that Americans wanted to extend their influence overseas they had two primary goals: pursue favorable trade agreements and alignments and foster the spread of Christian and democratic ideals as they understood them. The isolationism that seemed to work for America began to change late in the century for a variety of reasons. First, the industrial revolution had created challenges that required a broad reassessment of economic policies and conduct. The production of greater quantities of goods, the need for additional sources of raw materials and greater markets-in general the expansive nature of capitalism-all called for Americans to begin to look outward.

America had always been driven by the idea of "manifest destiny," which was at first the idea that the U.S. was to expand over the whole continent of North America, "from the Isthmus of Panama to the Arctic Circle." While Canada and Mexico seemed impervious to further expansion by Americans, at least there had been the rest of the mainland to fill up. With the ending of the frontier and the completion of the settlement of the West the impulse to further expansion spilled out over America's borders.</span>
I'm actually ending this unit of Napoleon in class tomorrow.
Basically Napoleon was a dictator of France who loved to carry out conquests. During the beginning of his reign he had man victories, heck in the battle of Austerlitz he was able to beat an even large Austrian and Russian army with only the french army. I'm not sure how many people were in the armies. This battle ended in a peace treaty by Austria, Treaty of Pressburg. So you can say that the Europeans thought of him as a god, for the first handful of battles. However later on he was just a shell of his glorious past. He became too selfish and ignorant in his victories, and pursued to fight England and Prussia, at the battle of waterloo. Two of the major citis that posed a threat to his conquests.
To answer your question, Europeans would have though of him differently during his first years of his ruling, and his last years of his ruling because of the victories and losses he had in battles to try to take over all of Europe. He was a crazy dictator.
