Napoleon was the best war general that France has seen?


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.
