Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution. Born in Corsica, he advanced rapidly through the ranks of the French army and became a general by age 24. In 1799, he seized power in a coup d'état and eventually crowned himself Emperor of France in 1804. During his reign, Napoleon led France in a series of wars against various European coalitions, conquering much of continental Europe. Memes refer to Napoleon’s proverbial ambitions to “conquer the world”. [ClaudeAI, edited]
