History

The history of Napoleon goes back two centuries. He was born in 1769 to a minor Italian noble family. The island on which he was born was annexed by the French shortly thereafter, and Napoleon grew up as a French supporter. Napoleon orchestrated a coup in 1799 that led to him becoming the First Consul of the Republic. He spent the next decade expanding the French Empire.
