Humans have been capable of apocalyptic genocide of other humans for a while. All that is required is either really heavy use of scorched earth tactics or an intentional drive for genocide.

Neither of which fit 18th century warfare at all. But Napoleon was the beginning of massively mobilized European armies, and I can see why people would find that potentially apocalyptic.
