Engels once said that it happened that Napoleon, a Corsican, made the military dictatorship needed by France, which was exhausted by the war-this was an accidental phenomenon. However, if Napoleon never existed, his role would be played by another person.
Napoléon Bonaparte (French: Napoleone Buonaparte, Italian: Napoleon eboona parte,1769 August15-1821May5), that is, Napoleon I, was born in Corsica, a French military event in the19th century. He was the first ruler of France (1799- 1804) and the first emperor of France (1804- 18 15).
Napoleon was crowned emperor on 1804,165438+10.6, which turned the Republic of China into an empire. During his reign, he was called "French Emperor", the second French emperor to enjoy this title since Charles III.
Internally, he suppressed the rebellion of reactionary forces many times, promulgated the Napoleonic Code, improved the world legal system, and laid the social order of western capitalist countries. Five armies led by foreign countries broke the anti-French alliance composed of Britain, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries, won more than 50 large-scale battles, dealt a heavy blow to the feudal system of European countries and defended the achievements of the French Revolution. During his rule in France, he expanded abroad many times and launched the Napoleonic Wars. He became the king of Italy, the protector of the Rhine Federation, the arbitrator of the Swiss Federation and the colonial Lord of the French Empire (including French colonies, Dutch colonies, Spanish colonies, etc.). In the most glorious period, all European countries except Britain surrendered or formed an alliance with Napoleon. It formed a huge Napoleonic empire system and created a series of military and political miracles and short-lived brilliant achievements.
Napoleon 18 14 abdicated and was exiled to the island of Elba. 18 15 After the establishment of the Hundred Days Dynasty, it was defeated by Waterloo again and was exiled. 182 1 year, Napoleon died in St. Helena. 1840, his coffin was welcomed back to Paris, France, and was buried in Paris Invalides (Paris Veterans Hospital for the Disabled) on the Seine River in France.
