I don't think so. He built up a war machine while telling countries
that didn't want another war that he just wanted one more piece of
land, and it was after all land that was his by all rights anyway,
he claimed. By the time the world got wind of the reality, that
there was no limits, he'd taken enough to further increase his
power. Then he overreached, insisted on being Napoleon and running
the military that he didn't know how to run, and lost everything.
In the context, it's not really genius stuff.
