Napoleon Bonaparte was a French general and dictator during the last reigns of the French Revolution.
His legal reform, the Code Napoleon, had a major and lasting influence on the law in many countries. He is also remembered for his role in the Napoleonic Wars he provoked and for the title of emperor he assumed. He temporarily succeeded in bringing a large part of Europe under his authority.
As commander-in-chief of the French military power, he conquered and ruled most of western and central Europe and for a couple of years also held power in Egypt. The failed campaign against Russia then weakened his position, which eventually led to the final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and the fall of Napoleon.
After Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo, he was deposed and exiled to the isolated island of Saint Helena in the middle of the Atlantic. There he died a few years later.
