To be fair to Nappy III, he’s surprisingly progressive for the time. He gave plenty of worker’s rights during the time when it had to be fought from the bottom up. He was still an imperialist though.
He wasn’t really but he was following his uncle’s footsteps of being an “enlightened dictator”. It was kind of about ruling with more executive power to uphold liberal values for the benefit of the people. The view on what liberalism and democracy are, at the time, is different to the modern perception.
