My Expatriate Theory

A reality I've considered is the fact that amongst the most powerful men to have walked this planet, the rulers, the dictators, the emperors, were not from the country over which they reigned. These three men, this triumvirate of titans, are those of Hitler, Stalin, and Napoleon. Hitler was born in Austria, and would eventually fight for Germany, evolving into her Fuhrer. Stalin was a Bolshevik terrorist from Georgia affiliated with Lenin who became the Gen Sec, the Boss, of his adopted Mother Russia. Napoleon was born upon the small island of Corsica off the coast of Italy, and in a similar fashion to Hitler, excelled in the military of his adopted country, to one day become the beloved emperor of France. This made me realize, should I one day fulfill my childhood aspiration of becoming the Emperor of America, the starting point, to follow the path of established historical successes, would have to be an abutting country. Mexico and Canada be warned or perhaps notified of a future honor, in that almost surely the launching of an American empire will use one of you as the pad.
