Anyway, I have a question others more steeped in history can help me with. Out of all of the New empires, nations, countrys that were brung about by war, revolution or some type of act of aggression. What empire, nation or country was not first ruled by the leader of the aggression. Napoleon leads France, Ceasar leads the Roman Empire. War heroes..... generals ........ the leaders come back to rule what they conqured.

My question is.... is this basically true and if it is who were the exceptions.

The British Empire - I think.
