Napoleon had a very large army that supported him and his
cause. The French Revolution was a truly amazing event. It began as a really
liberal revolution, but was hijacked by murderous people; namely Robespierre, who
led the revolutionaries called the Jacobins. When Napoleon held power in a
nearly failed attempt, he became the Emperor of a
nation that was affected by the old monarchies of Europe. Napoleon found
himself at the head of nation that was inclined to welcome his proven military
skills, which could be usefully deployed in the defence of France and its
newfound freedoms. Napoleon proved
himself to be much more than just a successful general. Napoleon had a good army
that was one of the smallest but one of the most powerful or well prepared for anything
you could throw at it. He won so many battles in his power that he took over
most of Europe. Napoleon had a great background for being a general or
political leader. He made a law called the Napoleonic Code which made all
estates of that time had to pay taxes and the women and children lost all of their
rights.
