Features: Napoleon was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica, which had just been annexed by France. In his childhood, he was shy and melancholic, and no one could have predicted that he would later become one of the greatest military geniuses in French history. Leading a army of five hundred thousand, he ruled over a vast territory spanning millions of miles, conquered the entire Europe after the Scientific Revolution, ended the brief period of freedom and republicanism in France during the late 18th century, and established an authoritarian regime in the early 19th century.
