Napoleon exploits other farms from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
Napoleon, the cunning and power-hungry pig who rose to leadership on Animal Farm, had grand ambitions beyond the borders of their own territory. He saw the neighboring farms as potential sources of wealth and power that he could harness for his own benefit. With his shrewd mind and strategic thinking, Napoleon devised a plan to exploit the resources of these other farms. Under Napoleon's direction, the animals of Animal Farm began engaging in trade with the humans from the neighboring farms. This trade was not conducted on equal terms, however. Napoleon made sure to negotiate deals that were heavily skewed in favor of Animal Farm, taking advantage of the humans' ignorance and desperation to get the best possible terms for his own farm. Through these exploitative trade agreements, Napoleon was able to amass a great deal of wealth and resources for himself and his fellow pigs. While the other animals toiled away on the farm, Napoleon and his inner circle enjoyed the fruits of their labor without having to lift a hoof themselves. This stark inequality did not go unnoticed by the other animals, but Napoleon was able to maintain his hold on power through a combination of fear and propaganda. In addition to exploiting the neighboring farms for trade, Napoleon also used military force to further his ambitions. He enlisted the help of neighboring humans to launch attacks on other farms, seizing their land and resources for himself. By expanding his territory through conquest, Napoleon was able to consolidate his power and solidify his position as the supreme leader of Animal Farm. As Napoleon's greed and thirst for power grew, so too did his willingness to exploit others for his own gain. The animals of Animal Farm, who had once dreamed of a utopian society free from human oppression, found themselves living under the tyranny of a ruthless and manipulative dictator. Napoleon's exploitation of other farms was just one example of the lengths to which he would go to satisfy his own desires, regardless of the cost to others.
