Official Bio

Though born on Corsica in 1769, Napoleon Bonaparte was educated in France and came to regard himself as French. In 1795, he helped put down a rebellion against the new post-Revolution government. The next year, he was given command of the French forces in Italy and led them to victory over the Austrian and Sardinian armies, securing the annexation of Nice and Savoy. Napoleon repelled several Austrian counterattacks and was advancing towards Vienna when the Austrians finally sued for peace in 1797.

The Austrian surrender left just Great Britain to deal with. An excursion to Egypt to disrupt British trade routes with India began successfully, but ended prematurely due to the French Navy’s loss at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Spurred by the British victory, a new European coalition against France emerged and Napoleon returned to Paris to help guard against a possible coup d'etat. The threats were squelched and Napoleon, now First Consul, became the undisputed leader of France. His newly reorganised armies again defeated the Austrians, and in 1801 Great Britain decided to formally end the struggle as well. But, just two years later, territorial disputes had led once more to war.

To solidify his hold on power, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France in 1804. A planned invasion of Britain never came to pass – thanks to the British victory at Trafalgar in 1805 – but Napoleon orchestrated a string of triumphs on the continent. He routed the Austrians in 1805, beat the Prussians in 1806, and defeated the Russians at the battles of Eylau and Friedland in 1807. At its height in 1810, Napoleon’s empire stretched across Europe from Spain to Russia.
