Napoleon Buonaparte was a military genius who, at the age of sixteen, gained the rank of lieutenant in the French Army. He overcame all of the criticism he received in the army became a great leader. Napoleon, perhaps, was one of the most prominent, and powerful leaders of all time. Napoleon's childhood was a very troublesome one. He was always getting into trouble. When he was a little boy, "He was always hitting people and biting them"(Komroff 15). Since Napoleon was always causing problems, he was sent to a girl school by his mother hoping that this experience would change his attitude (Komroff 15). This however, did not work, so he was sent to a Jesuit school with his eldest brother, Joseph (Komroff 15). While Napoleon was in the Jesuit school, he was an excellent student. Several years later when he was sent to military school at the age of fifteen, he was still an outstanding student and "Remembered everything he was told" (Komroff 17). At the age of fifteen, Napoleon was already
At this school, Eliza would not only receive a great education, but she would also receive three thousand francs, and a trosseau (Guerard 9). But just before appointing himself Emperor of the French, Napoleon married the love of his life, Josephine for the first time under the will of God since they had previously only been married by the civil court (Guerard 77). Since Napoleon could not be crowned, he was going to crown himself. When he was sixteen, he "Graduated military school with the rank of lieutenant" (Komroff 20). The only person who seemed to be making any wise decisions, was his sister Eliza. This happened only three years after Napoleon's graduation, he was nineteen. His son "Almost assured the destiny of his empire" ("Napoleon" 6). Carlo Buonaparte died on February 24, 1785 (Guerard 9). Marie Louise bore Napoleon a son in March of 1911. Napoleon was very disappointed because even though "The church could consecrate, anoint, and confirm him, they could not assert any authority over him" (Guerard 76). A while after the coronation, "Napoleon was very angry and despised Josephine" because she had not given him a child ("Napoleon" 6). That is something that the average person does not accomplish every day. Napoleon achieved this feat after only being in the military school for one year (Komroff 20). Eliza had been accepted at Saint Cyr, a school which had been created for the daughters of the impoverished aristocracy (Guerard 9). On December 2, 1804, "Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of the French" (Guerard 77).
