The idea of the political party goes back the First Triumvirate of Rome. Marcus Crassus, Gnaeus Pompeius, and Gaius Julius all came to the realisation that they could cement their political power by forming an alliance. In this case it ended disastrously with Julius invading Rome, Pompeius having to fight him (and losing), and Gaius Julius getting to drop “Gaius” from the common usage of his name and add “Caesar” to the end of it.
Despite the outcome, the idea of creating a political power bloc has remained in any system of government that it can exist in. It allows the members to exercise more power and present a united front. Love them or hate them, it’s easy to find out what a major political party generally stands for.
At our last election, we had a series of independents running locally. Most had no website and no signage up around town. The only information I could find on them was a short write-up in the local paper. The write-ups tended to focus on one issue. For example, one candidate was a former nurse and passionate about protecting the healthcare system. That didn’t tell me how she felt about climate change, education, infrastructure, social policies, or anything else. No, it was way easier to vote for a political party.
Answer:
It is Napoleon, the French emperor of the early 19th century.
Explanation:
Napoleon had occupied Spain and also wanted to control Portugal to exclude the British. He invaded Russia with the largest army ever assembled until then in history in the summer of 1812: half a million men. The Russian kept withdrawing and only fought some major frontal battles with La Grande Armée. Moscow was abandoned, the French occupied it without resistance, but a few days later, it was burned by the Russians; the French were left with no food. Just before the start of the winter, Napoleon quit Moscow with his army for a long retreat with no appropiate winter clothes and no food; they were harassed by Cosacks and were persecuted by the Russian army; only around 20,000-30,000 men survived the disastrous campaign that broke France´s might. Napoleon raised another army, but his enemies proved to be stronger this time and force his abdication in 1814 while Paris was surrounded.
He was sent to exile to Elba, but he escaped in 1815 and retook power. He fought his last battle in Waterloo, Belgium, on June 18, 1815, he suffered his final defeat at the hands of the British and the Prussians.

Answer:
The Renaissance had a major influence on the development of modern American society, especially in relation to culture and artistic expression. Renaissance influence in America brought a new vision to humanism resulting in a departure from the dominant ideals presented by the church. Although religion still had the greatest influence throughout the Renaissance period, the growing recognition of human potential and scientific inquiry shaped the course of Western history and even today influences contemporary American culture. The principles of realism, particularly as they appeared in terms of art and literature, have remained vital in all aspects of American society, and figures such as Boccaccio, da Vinci, Machiavelli, and others live and influence the way we view our world today.
