Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Napoleon was born in 1769 and Hitler in 1889. Difference: 129 years for a few months. And none were exactly famous natives of the country in which they would be made: one from Corsica and the other from Austria.

2.Napoleon came to power in 1804 and Hitler in 1933. Difference: 129 years. Obviously, 1804 is the date of the coronation as emperor of Bonaparte, since the 18 of Brumaire had already carried out a coup d'etat, calling himself First Consul; Hitler was invited by Hindemburg to form a government.

3. Napoleon entered Vienna in 1809 and Hitler in 1938. Difference: 129 years. The Emperor did so after defeating the Austrian army at Wagram while the Führer did not need to fight and the local Nazi party facilitated the annexation.

4. Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812 and Hitler in 1941. Difference: 129 years. In both cases they finished the same, defeated by the distances and the general winter.

5. Napoleon lost the war in 1815 and Hitler in 1945. Difference: 129 years. In reality, Napoleon was defeated at Leipzig (Battle of the Nations), going into exile on the Mediterranean island of Elba; then he returned to regain power in the so-called Hundred Days Empire, losing definitively at Waterloo (1815). Hitler, for his part, lost not only the war but his life.
