napoleon.

Summary - Napoleon Bonaparte was a powerful force in Europe from 1799 to 1815. He rose from the ranks of the French army to become the emperor of France. By 1812 he had control of most of Europe. Unfortunately, he met his demise when he attempted to invade Russia. His downfall was almost as swift as his rise to power.

Napoleon was a very forceful leader. He had very high ambitions and expectations. He wanted everything his way and didnt usually wait around for others to give it to him. Though he had the best in mind for france, some of his decisions lead them to big problems. He did lead them out of money problems for a while, and he did keep the people involved with the government, but when he went power hungry with trying to control all of europe and more, it actually cause more problems, such as losing an army and sending France back to where they were before the revolution.
