The end of the revolution being followed by allegiance to Napoleon as Emperor does mirror public moods amidst High turnings. The way the wars turned out is unusual since the 1T ones are typically unwanted aftershocks ending in draws (War of 1812, Korean War), but this could be an exception to the rule. Maybe the European saeculum was also slightly behind the U.S. in general, since the French Revolution didn't formally end until 1799.
That's all correct; good. I guess you could label the Napoleonic Wars as big aftershocks, although in some ways bigger than the original French Revolutionary war, since they also ended in a draw, with France ending up more or less as it was after the wars, and the kingdoms restored.
