Napoleon Bonaparte
By: Neil Blezy & Aaron Brink
The Early Years
Napoleon Bonaparte, the most written about person in the world after Jesus Christ, was born in Ajaccio, Corsica on 15 August, 1769. ... Now that the family had the same rights as the French nobility, young Napoleon was sent to military school in France at the age of 10 where he was teased constantly by the other students for his strange name, foreign accent, and small size. Napoleon began to develop a hatred towards the French but this just inspired him to work harder at his studies and in 1784 he won a place at the Ecole Militaire in Paris, Frances finest military school! ...
Military Accomplishments And Rise To Power
Napoleon was assigned to an outpost for 6 years before his garrison was moved into Auxonne when the French Revolution broke out. ... From this point on Napoleon both hated and feared the common people of France. Napoleon left Auxonne to spent the next 18 months in his homeland consolidating the French rule. ... Napoleon disbanded the rebellious mob with his notorious "whiff of grapeshot" which were cannons filled with pellets and fired into the crowd. ... Napoleon was hailed a hero of the revolution for his actions and gained entrance into the Parisian Society in which he met his wife, Josephine de Beauharnias whose political influence was made obvious when Napoleon was made commander of the army of Italy just two days after their marriage.
In quick series of victories, Napoleon achieved superiority over the Italians, Austrians and Sardinians. ... The Austrians appealed to Napoleon for an Armistice before a shot was even fired.
Napoleon returned to France with triumph. At just 28 years of age Napoleon was the greatest French General of all time In honor of his achievements, he was elected to the prominent Institute, which was the group that governed France at the time.
