Character achievement:
Napoleon was a military strategist. He led the troops to break the anti-French alliance composed of Britain, Belgium, Austria, Russia and other countries, and won more than 50 large-scale battles.
During the French rule, he expanded abroad many times and launched the Napoleonic Wars, becoming the king of Italy, the protector of the Rhine Federation, the arbiter 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, except Britain, other European countries surrendered or formed an alliance with Napoleon, forming a huge Napoleon empire system and creating a series of military and political miracles and short-lived brilliant achievements. In addition, Napoleon was also the first person who put forward the idea of a United States of Europe and tried to realize it through military merger.
