Everyone thought Napoleon was so great and would be a great leader from France. The French let him become too powerful and he eventually made himself consul of life, which means he was able to rule France for as long as he lives. The people let him become this powerful since in the beginning he made the people think he was so great and that he would be great to rule the country at the time. They saw how he was winning and defeating other countries at war, and wanted him as their leader/ruler. Now the citizens of France realize he is self absorbed and is not so great for their country.

Napoleon had some tremendous achievements during his time. However, he did some things that were not supported by the people of France, and prompted retaliation from other countries. These countries joined they’re forces together in order to stop him and his tyranny. These were called coalitions. Some of the first coalitions against him consisted of Great Britain, Spain, Prussia, and Austria. They were the first people to really defeat him to the point of loss of power. One reason why they were able to do this is because of the way that the Spanish army fought. They used methods called gorilla tactics. They didn’t follow the “rules” of war of the time period. They hid in trees, used snipers, and didn’t fight head first in a formation. This was something that Napoleon had never seen before and him and his army weren’t prepared for. Another reason why these coalitions were so powerful against Napoleon was because of British General Nelson. He was know to be one of the greatest generals of the time period and managed to outsmart Napoleon not once, but twice. After the initial defeat of Napoleon, he was sent out to an island to be banished. He later came back and started another tour to try and take control again. This is when Russia, Portugal, Sweden, and many German States joined in to fight against him. Only this time, Napoleon was sent to an island where he could could not return from due to how far it is from any land where he eventually died.

During napoleons crowning he put the crown on his own head this showed that he was power hungry and had a huge ego. Also he was a very self centered person which could be reflected by the fact that he took the crown form the pope who is supposed to be the closest person to god and put it on his head. This should have been a warning to people that he was going to be like another king and he did because he eventually became emperor.

Growing up on the small island of Corsica, Napoleon always felt like he was meant for greater things outside of this island. When he turned 9 years old, his parents put him into Military School. Most parents don’t put there children into school at such as young age, but since Napoleon had 8 other siblings, his parents had no choice but to send him. His family was also poor, considering they were part of a small noble family. The most interesting fact though, in this situation is that Napoleons father was actually a rebel against France, who’s influence probably washed over Napoleon as well. So what causes Napoleon to change the side he fought for? This was most likely because as a young boy Napoleon had been exposed to many different situations since he was poor, and didn’t know any better to follow in his fathers footsteps. As he was learning in Military School, he probably realized that France is actually superior to other countries and continents, developing his ego-maniac personality.

Napoleon crowned himself as Emperor instead of letting the pope crown him. This shows that he was above the pope, which is an almost godlike position. Napoleon makes very good decisions like a banking system and laws that are fair and just. However, Napoleon gave his son a title of nobility, which was what the Revolution didn’t like. The people didn’t complain about Napoleon because of his accomplishments and how there was no better ruler. He had lots of support from almost all of France.

Napoleon crowned himself after modifying the government as he helped the French, and he now has ultimate power, as he can pass it on to his children (heir). Napoleon still wasn’t satisfied with what he had conquered and so he still continued to conquer other lands, feeling that he was unstoppable by this point.

Napoleon named himself first consul for life and later on emperor. I think the people let him do this because Napoleon wasn’t very wealthy like many people, so they trusted him because he had a background like them. Also Napoleon was for the people so he supported what the people wanted. Lastly, Napoleon had been a successful commander in many battles so the people thought he was a great leader and knew how to win battles.
