Napoleon
When I was young, my idol was a famous singer in my country. And my dad was not happy about it at all. When I asked him who his idol was. He said Napoleon Bonaparte. Then my dad did go ad bought me a comic book about Napoleon’s life. I admire him a lot so I want to introduce you guys about him today.
Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the greatest military leaders in history and emperor of France. He is the one who conquered much of Europe. Napoleon was born on 15 August 1769, the second of eight children. His family was from the town of Ajaccio, Corsica. This was a year after the island transferred to France by the Republic of Genoa.
In 1779, he was sent to a military school in Paris. He was made fun of by the kids there for his accent and applied himself to reading. That gave him the dream of power. Napoleon was waiting for the right time to achieve greater power, and that moment came when the French monarchy was overthrown.
As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815. His first battle was when he directed the artillery siege of Toulon in 1793, and afterwards he was promoted to brigadier general. In 1795, he scattered a group of rioters by firing grapeshot, a shotgun version of a cannon, into the crowd. Napoleon was then made commander of the Italian army and won four straight battles against the Austrians. In 1797, Austria surrendered to France when Napoleon was just 80 miles from the capitol. When the fight was taken to Egypt, he again won the battle of the pyramids, but lost his fleet of ships in his next fight over the battle of the Nile. He returned home to France to see that the French government was really messed up. "In 1799 he abolished the Directorate and set up a consulate." He was not happy and wanted more power, so he went after the rest of Europe, but had settled with many treaties. Those treaties had put France at peace with all of Europe. Then in 1803, war broke out again in Europe, and Britain allied with the other countries of
