Why Napoleon Was Great Perhaps the most brilliant of any general that has ever been known Is Napoleon Bonaparte who was born on the Island of Corsica In tho year 1769. . . , The parents of Bonaparte were of a good Italian family but they gave him very little home training. Napoleon was always considered a boy of the most obstinate nature and the severe treatment from his parents only made him. worse. At an early. age Bonaparte was sent to a military school in France. At sixteen he held a position in the French army and at the age of twenty-seven he received his first command. His rapid rise was due to the skill he had shown la attacking fortifications. In his rapid movements and his independence. After carrying on several successful campaigns for France he won the title of Emperor of France. After this he prepared to conquer the whole of Europe. At the head of a vast army, of which he knew many of the men by name, he was able to carry on a successful campaign but later met with defeat at Waterloo in 1815 which ended his career. Napoleon's successes wete due to his own fruitful mind. He was energetic, alert, keen sensed and rapid of movement. If has been said that he was able to grasp every geographical detail which would hinder or advance his plans. He also was a man ef great durability, able to sleep at any time or endure anything at any time. Altholugh Napoleon was a genius in warfare he was excellent In all his government and some of his laws outlive his conquests. Russell Saunders.
