Napoleon is Given Charge of France During These Historical Wars, Can he Win?

Napoleon is thrown from 1808 to the beginning of said wars. He instantly gains knowledge of the tech and politics of the time and keeps his memories from the Napoleonic Wars. He instantly becomes absolute monarch/dictator and nobody questions why (and there are no revolts against him) and they don't recognize him as the Napoleon from the Napoleonic Wars, to them he'd be another person. For some of the wars that don't take place on France's homeland, he is forced to take command of the armies that are in said foreign country. If Napoleon loses any of these then there will be a Round 2 where he gets 1-2 years to prepare and also becomes exceptionally lucky. The wars he will take charge of are (win conditions will also be after the wars):

Seven Years War: Achieve what France wanted in our timeline.

Second Franco-Mexican War: Has to conquer Mexico by 1867.

Franco-Prussian War: Stop the unification of Germany, he doesn't have to conquer Germany as long as he can prevent Prussia from forming the German Empire, he also has to mostly prevent major Prussian advances into France.

World War 2: Prevent the German conquest of mainland France, and eventually win the war.

Algerian War: Keep Algeria as a part of France.

Could the Captains of the Gotei 13 (Bleach) Defeat the Primarchs and the Emperor of Mankind? (WH40K)

As the title suggests, the Gotei 13 must contend with and defeat the Primarchs and The Emperor of Mankind! Rules are as follows:

Gotei 13 are taken from the START of the Thousand-Year Blood War arch. This means Yamamoto is still Head-Captain. Captains are taken at their power from that time, however some feats shown later can still be used if those feats are not reliant on a power-boost gained during the Thousand-Year Blood War.

Examples of what I mean are Kyoraku and Unohana would still be capable of using their Bankai in battle, since they had access to such ability before hand. However, Torshiro wouldn't have his True Bankai, and Kenpachi cannot release his sword.

The Primarchs are taken from the height of the Pre-Heresy time periods. They have the same rules of feats from after this time being allowed if they are not reliant on a power boost given during or Post-Heresy.

It is JUST the Captains and Primarchs. No Legions, No Vice-Captains or Court Guard Squads.

Primarchs cannot use any of their ships. No taking fights to space and bombing them from orbit.

Lastly, the Gotei 13 MUST defeat all the Primarchs before engaging with the Emperor. As such, the Emperor won't engage until his children are killed either.

Round 1: Follows rules stated above

Bonus Round: Gotei 13 may utilize Sosuke Aizen, and Emperor engages in combat when Half the Primarchs are gone

Second Bonus Round: The Emperor fights side by side with his sons from the start, and the Gotei 13 get Aizen, Squad Zero, and start of TYBW Ichigo (Before dual-swords.)

This fight would need 2 scenarios

Aoi Todo from JJK versus Yujiro Hanma, lets say there 2 fights 1 where Todo can use his switching ability and the other fight he can't, who would win each fight I personally think Yujiro is better at straight up fighting than Todo and would against him in the fight where he can't use his powers

Who's the most known/famous person between Trump and Ronaldo.

Hello, I just ask that here because I had an argument with a guy about it. Basically, he explained to me that Christiano Ronaldo was the most famous person in the world, and I told him that leaders of powerful nations in the world (like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin or Kim Jung Un) have to be more famous.

He told me that Ronaldo is the most followed on Instagram and that kids would more know Ronaldo than the US president, and I replied to him than the average peasant in China or India (Asia is literally half of the world's population) would more know who's Donald Trump (even in countries that don't like America, just because he's the president of the most powerful nation in the world) than who's Ronaldo.

What do you think? What's your opinion on the question?

Can 3 Nations ranked stronger defeat the fifth largest and seventh most populated nation on Earth?Brazil can still trade with the rest of the Americas, and the UK, France and Italy can trade but not receive any aid during the war

Viltrumites (Invincible) VS the imperium of man (Warhammer 40k)

How would say 100 viltrumites fare against the imperium of man?

Viltrumites can fly, hit with incredible strength and are nigh invulnerable to all but a few things (mostly each other). Plus they grow stronger with age.

The imperium is huge, and I’m sure they could give them a good fight, but ultimately I’d give this to the Viltrumites. Plus they would assimilate imperial planets to their cause and force them to fight for them.

Who would win, Roman or the Mongols?

My guess would be Romans, for sole reason that Mongol tactics wouldn't work after first few battles, Romans knew how to think and they would probably have found a countermeasures within first week of war, if not to develop a new weapon/tool just to fight mongols with.

Mongols used speed to their advantage they often raided 5 villages a day (per army), one village would still be tending to flames while Mongols are burning another one, while main army is pillaging all around. If they noticed that their effort wasn't as good, they would retreat and deal some damage on their way out, just to force enemy to chase them, lose cohesion and strike them again within few hours; with far greater knowledge of terrain and layout of the surrounding area, so every next attack was better planned and well thought through.

Now that wouldn't work with Romans because Roman empire was too big for that tactic, yes they would probably chip some territory from them, but i doubt that it would make big blow on Roman economy and war machine, Romans had 250.000 soldiers ready at any point, and yes they were not the best of soldiers and yes their equipment might be lacking, but discipline and tactics was main reason why Romans achieved what they did, they knew to analyze their battles in real time, even before battle has started they were able to estimate an outcome and prepare for it, first few battles they would lose 100%, but not with 100% losses so the remaining troops would scatter to other camps explain in great detail what they have seen and other Legionnaires would be able to prepare their soldiers for next battle and probably get out it with draw at least. At this point and time i would say that word would get to Rome and Egypt and many Centurions would set their way for Eastern border with their Legions and tacticians in Rome would start to plan counter attack while thinking of new tool to help them in it; i would say that tool would be some sort of balista but with ropes to cover wide area with it and trap horses inside, so around 5 balistas hidden in some places each with 10 ammo, 10 troops to nail it to something when the time is right and 10 gunners, it would probably work like this, they hear them coming, they initiate the attack so mongols get confused and over confident, while they are charging at Romans in that moment they wouldn't notice balistas firing to targets such as, trees, buildings made of soft material, rocks, stone, and all sorts of things,when the target is hit, other tropps would either pull that rope tight so 15 people per rope to stop force of horses, or they would nail it to something heavy like other tree or stone, with that move, they would kill only advantage that Mongols have and that is speed not to mention other ways of traps that Romans would think of such as burning the whole forests on fire and or just use oil to set on fire and scare horses away leaving thousands of mongols without horse laying on the ground in Enemy territory during the raging battle...

I just don't see Romans losing to Mongols and horses, it doesn't seem right, especially how fast they think and build things.

What's the strongest character this orangutan could beat?

A male orangutan, 20. Around 5 feet tall. Using the power of money, magic, and expert training, this ape is a master swordsman, master bowman, master combatant, master stick wielder and master rock thrower. It is decked out in iron armor light enough for it to move fluidly but heavy enough to act as decent protection. It is carrying a sword and a bow and arrow on its back. What's the strongest thing/character this orangutan could beat?

How far would Destiny factions get in Warhammer 40k

Been looking into Warhammer 40k and wondering which race would be the most optimal for the bloody universe.

Guardians & Humanity: I think Light Bearers would be amazing in Warhammer and while Ghosts can be destroyed by casual means so they should still be hidden. With our various lights and darkness we can atomize people in 5 different ways and SIVA & Neomuna nanites could deal with any threats aside from the mechanical ones like Necrons.

Eliksni: Not sure about Eliksni in Warhammer 40k it seems like a lot of them could get killed before they get their hands on their tech. I wonder if Tyranids taking Eliksni genes would mean they'd have the Ether dependence and slowly die out but it seems like the Tyranids can pick and choose which genes to express. Although at the same time Eliksni and the technology in Warhammer 40k could be an amazing. The Eliksni used to be my least favorite species in Destiny but they have grown on me so I hold out hope that they could prosper with all the high tier tech in the universe.

Hive: I used to think Hive couldn't loose to Tyranids but after looking at Ronake video on Tyranids and their gene assimilation. I thought Tyranids couldn't get into the Ascendant Plane and mess with the Hive Gods but if they assimilate hive they could also assimilate the worms and gain the paracausal power. Since darkness is psychic and Tyranids have a psychic link I think the Tyranid queen would get the hang of hive magic pretty quickly. Im not sure if Oryx's Taking power will work on most Tyranids due to their lack of willpower although without the psychic network they're animalistic so Taking might work on them, hell it works on the Vex. Xivu Arath pre Season Of The Witch would simply be fine due to the whole conflict making her stronger thing. Although the only thing she lacks now is her Throne World so she'd definitely still be good. Savathun and her brood might be good having light in all, still having darkness as well as light.

Cabal: The Cabal could have a better chance than most races due to their weapons. I saw a YouTube short that said Cabal weapons and armor are hooked up to an intelligence network that teaches Cabal soldiers as they fight. The Almighty and their Psions could prove deadly.

Vex: The Vex could probably do the best out of all races due to their simulations, and numbers. It's hard to imagine Vex being iradicated completely. Apparently most Vex we've seen aren't even combat frames, the Wyvern is (to my knowledge) the first combat frame.

The Traveler: I don't think the Traveler would get far, it's really just a Gardener and it's hyper beam didn't hurt the Witness at all. It's strength is in what it makes rather than itself.

The Witness: The Witness would probably dominate. Mastery of darkness, pyramid ships, a billion people in one body, impervious to hyper beam.

Rhulk: Rhulk was the 1st. Disciple of the Witness and while he wasn't a mastermind his power was unmatched.

Nezereck: Nezereck is another Discipline of the Witness and he's one with fear and pain if his physical body dies he's still around. Just feeding off pain would keep him going.
