napoleon from childhood dreamed of becoming emperor of France. this was motivated because of the sheer beauty of Europe and most likely had dreams of some day owning all this beauty. he went to school in mainland Europe to learn french and later joined a military academy after that he became commander of an artillary company where he proved himself at the siege of toulan. The rulers of France noticed very quickly and put him in command of an army of Italy after the french went to war against Austria. This army was hungry and disgruntled he whiped it into shape and won victory after victory against great odds he returned to France as its brightest star . this gained him support of the people and after a failed campaign in Egypt he returned to France. there the people still admired him. i going to have to cut this short. But napoleon was a great speaker and military genius he understood how to lead a empire and an army people say he was horrible for letting all those men in is march to moscow starve and freeze to death but he suffered with his troops and did not want it to happen but it did his men loved him so much they let him leave in order to lead France any man who is so loved by a people as to give there life for him and the glory of the empire he has built for him does not deserve to be called a horrible man or a coward or greedy. he was not power hungry, he was not a maniac driven by blood lust. he wanted to build the greatest empire to ever stand. in his short reighn he abolished feudilism, built thousands of miles of roads gave freedom of religion he built more schools and made education better throughout the empire the people loved him but the other major powers of Europe did not the were jelous if anything.
They though only of them selves and the threat napoleon posed to putting them out of power the last thing napoleon wanted to do was cause such devestation but he loved France to much to let it be taken away from him so easily i don't know why you say he was greedy you say he cared not of the lives spent for his glory. But he did please leave a comment any thing or contact me at www.levimalone1@yahoo.com
