A case of hidden genocide? Disintegration and destruction of people of color in Napoleonic Europe, 1799–1815
Atlantic Studies: Global Currents. Volume 14, 2017
Migration, social mobility, and integration of new populations in late eighteenth-century Europe resulted in an expansion of diversity, which contributed to abolition and culminated in full civil rights between 1791 and 1799. This revolutionary experiment in equality faced both domestic and multinational opposition, which led to the genocidal purge of diversity in Europe and the wider world during the Napoleonic Era.

Seems more like an essay on the nature of genocide, and then adopting the widest definition.
As someone who has witnessed incontravertible European genocide and it's aftermath at first hand in the mid 90's I find some of it a bit broad.
If the replacement of one culture by another is genocide, then that puts the Coca-Cola and McDonald's global brands in a new light, which i don't think they deserve.
Napoleon as a genocidal maniac though....I thought I copped enough opprobium when I suggested the merest touch of the narcissist!
