Answer:
The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte emerged during the French Revolution, and over the years it grew to become one of the most important military and political symbols in the history of Europe. As emperor, he dominated his country and embarked on an expansionist spiral: the Napoleonic Wars. Consumed strategist, he won a good part of the battles he fought, until his two great defeats, in Leipzig and Waterloo.
