He would later take sole power as Emperor of France and unleash more than a decade of warfare on the continent as he sought to establish a dominant French Empire and culture across the entirety of Europe.

Napoleon quickly rose to power and fame in France during the French Revolution. A native of Corsica born into an Italian family from minor nobility, he proved himself a brilliant military tactician in minor engagements in and around Corsica early in the revolution. It was a 1798 campaign he led in Egypt that helped catapult him from respected general to a powerful politician.
