After leading the uprising, and establishing Animal Farm, Napoleon and Snowball begin to clash publicly. Of course, part of their conflict is down to clashing ambitions, but they also disagree over serious issues. One is whether or not to construct a windmill. Snowball believes they should focus their energies and resources on building it, and Napoleon argues that they should focus on cultivating more food. Each pig received support from about half of the animals on the farm. Another issue is how to interact with the outside world. Snowball hoped to spread the rebellion based on Animalism to farms all over England, while Napoleon believed they should be more insular, and devote more resources to defense. Napoleon prevails by using the dogs to drive Snowball from the farm, and by persuading the animals that Snowball is actually a counter-revolutionary. He eventually takes Snowball's plan to build the windmill as his own.
