How Is Napoleon Bonaparte A Villain

Napoleon Bonaparte

Some historians disagree that Napoleon Bonaparte was one the world’s greatest military leaders, but others maintain that he was a villain. Napoleon Bonaparte was an Italian by ancestry; he was born on August 15, 1769 in Ajaccio, Corsica capital today, in a large family of eight children, the Bonaparte family or his Italianized surname Buonaparte. Five of them were boys, Joseph, Napoleon, Lucien, Louis and Jerome. The girls were Elisa, Pauline and Caroline, under. His mother, Letizia Ramolino, was a woman of remarkable personality, energetic, bad temper, and strong and fiery character. His father Carlos Maria Bonaparte fought alongside for the independence of the island of Corsica against the French occupation, and then
he accepted the new French sovereignty over the island. During Napoleon birth France conquered Corsica therefore everybody in the island was giving French citizenship. Their difficulties were compounded by siding with the nationalist cause of Corsica in front of his new metropolis, France; gathered around a national hero, Paoli, islanders defended with weapons. Under the defeat of Paoli and the persecution of his side, Napoleon's mother had to face during their first births the painful incidents of escapes by the rugged island; their thirteen children, only these eight survived. Subdued the revolt, the French governor, Earl of Marbeuf , played the card to win over the patrician families of the island.

Napoleon had great mathematics merits, he was good on that, and it was very useful for his future military specialty, artillery. It helped him to facilitate his entry into the Military School of Brienne. This came out at seventeen with the appointment of second lieutenant and a destination garrison in the city of Valence.

When his father died, as a result of it, Napoleon moved to Corsica and then temporary decline in active service. His troubled juvenile stage was running back and forth between France, new cantonments with the troops , this time in Auxonne , the turmoil of the Revolution, whose violent explosion known during a stay in Paris, and Corsican separatist conflicts . In the troubled island faction’s clash of Napoleon irreconcilable enemies, including the same Paoli was created to break it to the Republican Convention and opt out the young officer by the Frenchified faction. There were distrust of paolistas in Bonaparte family, and it was bartering in furious animosity. Napoleon won by intrigues with the leadership of the military and wanted to strafe his opponents in the streets of Ajaccio. But it failed and had to flee with his family to escape the burning of his house and almost certain by their countrymen infuriated death.

He installed his family in Marseille, they lived between major economic hardships sometimes placed them on the edge of poverty and lack of courage and resources. He managed to rejoin ranks with the rank of captain and acquired a wide popularity during the siege of Toulon in 1793 to conquer a counterrevolutionary uprising supported by the British; the plan proposed a general assault was his inexperienced, executing well and infallible success.

Napoleon Bonaparte, who became crowned as Emperor of the French, is known for his political and military ambitions.
He wanted to be the new Alexander the Great and conquer the entire world like Alexander the Great, his exploits were blurred by the permanent frustration. Napoleon's work, which essentially freed the workforce, is the hallmark of the victory of the bourgeoisie class and it can be summarized in one of his statements: "If I had had time, would soon formed one people, each at travel everywhere, there would always be found in their common country.” This was his Unitarian vision of Europe, perhaps the major fascination exercised over Europe figure as diverse historic-graphical and cultural importance, ignoring its national peculiarities uniformity otherwise subject to imperialist aegis of
France.

One of the qualities of Napoleon’s personality was that he was perceived as a tough guy. He was not afraid or nervous when he was doing his military and political obligations, but his heart was weak and was imprisoned by the influence of the woman he loved, Josephine. A stormy love with infidelity, accusations, insecurities, jealousies and controversies, but the true love appeared to be immortal. Probably the happiest day of Napoleon’s life was when he was crowned emperor, him and his wife Josephine. He did not believe Josephine deserve less, even though, he did not hesitate to divorce her for the lack of having children together, and then to marry an heiress of the ancient European royal families.

Josephine de Beauharnais Creole birth was the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the first Empress of the First French Empire. Josephine, named Rosa to meet Napoleon, was born and lived in Martinique (Caribbean Antilles). She was a widow with two sons of Count de Beauharnais; she had a happy and dissolute life, and had numerous lovers.

Josephine is known following a curious fact: before the ban on possessing arms, he removed Josefina sword of her late husband. Napoleon was captivated by the beauty of Josephine, he became in love with her at first sight. Napoleon, who declared not having a deep sense of anything or anyone affect, confessed to having loved passionately for Josephine; she was passionate and sensual woman, promiscuous as well. Napoleon was instructed to direct the war in one of the most disadvantaged of Italy against the Austrians and Piedmonts Republicans fronts in 1796. A few days before his departure, he married Josephine in a civil ceremony. She had a bad reputation as a result of it everyone laughed at Napoleon for marrying her. These couple was controversial because she took five years and added one at the time of the wedding, they signed a marriage contract with separate property, which apparently turned out to be fantastic, and Josephine had possessions and Napoleon had no fortune. Despite her marriage contract, he collected goods. Josephine did not feel love at first for Napoleon; in contrast, Napoleon was madly in love with her. Josefina newlywed writes in a letter: "My husband does not love me, love me, I think will go crazy.”

Napoleon crowned Josephine as Empress in 1804; she played roles as ambassador, organizing events, entertaining visiting dignitaries, she had a very important role representing the Emperor at official functions. Despite their marriage, Josephine continued a senseless life and the constant absence of Napoleon were used as excuse to have many lovers. She could not help his absence she returned to surrender to bars and other members of the government circle. Her behavior caused Napoleon Jealousy, and he had other lovers as well as retaliation. Napoleon wrote a letter to his brother where he explained his feelings of disappointments toward Josephine. "The veil is torn…It is sad when one and the same heart is torn by such conflicting feelings for one person… I need to be alone. I am tired of grandeur; all my feelings have dried up. I no longer care about my glory. At twenty-nine I have exhausted everything." Despite having crowned empress, when he had to choose between love and the succession of his monarchy, Napoleon left Josephine. The absence of heirs and infidelities made Napoleon divorced her to marry a woman of royal blood, Luisa Maria of Habsburg, with which he hoped to found a dynasty, but it was not. Four years later he was sent into exile. His royal wife did not accompany him; empire and love were destroyed.

Despite this divorce to accept more convenient to their political marriage, no one doubted that Napoleon’s love for Josephine was kept him alive. An irrational love, passion, sweeping, worship sometimes mixed with open complaint and the reproachful because Napoleon Josephine was obtained indifference. Josephine had numerous marital infidelities during his campaigns in war, at least until the time of the ascension to the throne; Napoleon only had corresponded with some fleeting adventures. Napoleon met a Polish Countess Marie Walewska during the French occupation of Poland, she was persuaded by her fellow polish friends to be Napoleons’ lover, but she did not like it at first but then she changed her mind. They fell in love and she gave a birth a son which Napoleon always wanted, a son. This aspiration for fatherhood finished his work with dynastic legitimacy associated with his political calculations to push to divorce of Josephine. Napoleon decided that he needed an heir to concrete his young Empire, so he wanted a validation and legitimating of his Empire by marrying a member of one of the leading royal families of Europe. He proceeded to divorce Josephine de Beauharnais, who did not give him a son but they remained very close friends. His wish to marry Tsar Alexander I of Russia, caused alarm in Austria, because they were afraid of being sandwiched between two great powers allied with each other. Napoleon married Marie Louise of Austria because he wanted an heir and ally. During his marriage to Marie Louise of Austria in 1810, he seemed to signal the Napoleonic apogee. The only states that still were in warship were Russia and Britain, which sat maritime power and they seemed the impediment of ruining the projects of the Emperor against the continental blockade closing European ports to British manufacturing routes. It was a losing trade war beforehand where all useless trenches showed very active against smuggling and the fact that European industry was still in their infancy compared to the British and was unable to meet the demand needed so the commercial circulation collapsed, Napoleon was outlined to Europe as the major economic obstacle, especially when the mutual reprisals extended to neutral countries.

The other part of the army, which had signed a contingent of various nationalities overdue, was swallowed by the Russian vastness. In the campaign of 1812 against Tsar Alexander I, Napoleon reached Moscow, but perished in the forced withdrawal of nearly half a million men between the cold and ice of the Russian winter , famine and continued harassment of the enemy. All Europe was then raised against Napoleonic rule, and the national sentiment of the people rebelled supporting the revenge of monarchies; even in France, weary of endless war tension and increasing oppression , the bourgeoisie resolved to get rid of his master.

The disposal of this new coalition battle, the sixth, was fought in Leipzig in 1813, the “Battle of the Nations." One of the biggest and rare defeats Napoleon was the prelude to the invasion of France, the entry of the allies in Paris and the abdication of the Emperor at Fontainebleau, in April 1814, forced by his generals themselves. The victorious powers granted him full sovereignty over the tiny Italian island of Elba, and restored in place of the Bourbons, thrown by the Revolution, in the figure of Louis XVIII.

He was completely defeated in June 1815 by European states which guards had not laid down their arms, mindful of a possible reinvigoration Waterloo French- and put back in the dilemma of abdicate.
Thus ended the second imperial period, its short duration has been called the Hundred Days (March to June 1815). The English, who were deported to a lost African island, St. Helena, where he slowly succumbed to the evils of a grim jailer, Hudson Lowe was delivered. Before he died, May 5, 1821, he wrote a memoir, the Memorial of St. Helena, which is described himself as wished to see him posterity. This has not been agreed on their unique blend of nasty personality broadsword barracks, statesman, visionary, adventurer and hero of antiquity obsessed
glory.

In conclusion, Napoleon Bonaparte’s life was one of the greatest military leaders of all time, from the beginning of his life until his death. His beloved Josephine was a cold, promiscuous woman who forgave her husband’s infidelities despite knowing that he could do whatever he wanted. Such was the delivery of Napoleon. Josefina took full advantage of his marriage and Napoleon continued love with her until death. This is demonstrated by some intense love letters that have been preserved and embody the devotion of Napoleon by Josephine. They say that when he learned of the death that had been the love of his life. Napoleon life as military leader has influenced the entire world because in his ruling period feudal rights were abolished along with the thousand economic, customs and corporate particularism; a single internal market was created, the legal and political equality was implanted according to the model of the French Civil Code, which gave its name the Napoleonic Code, the father of Western rights. Church property was secularized; centralized and uniform administration and freedom of worship and religion, and freedom of having no settled down. He was the greatest but no perfect leader that still influenced us.
