The presence of a general is necessary: he is the head, he is the all in all of an army. It was not the Roman army conquered Gaul, but Caesar; it was not the Carthaginians made the armies of the Republic tremble at the very gates of Rome, but Hannibal; it was not the Macedonian army marched to the Indus, but Alexander.–Napoleon Bonaparte, 1800
Answer
A
He respected the harsh ideals of tyrants.
B
He believed that great leaders were invincible.
C
He viewed himself as a noble warrior.
D
He believed that battles were won by generals.
Explanation
Napoleon says the general is the “head” and “all in all” of an army, then credits Caesar, Hannibal, and Alexander—not their armies—with their military achievements. This shows that he believed battles and campaigns were won through the leadership of generals, making “He believed that battles were won by generals” the best choice.
