About Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
French military leader who crowned himself Emperor in 1804, conquered most of continental Europe, and was finally defeated at Waterloo (1815) before exile to Saint Helena. Closely associated with Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand (his foreign minister, then his betrayer). For an intellectual contrast, see Duke of Wellington, British general and later Prime Minister — Wellington's Peninsular and Waterloo campaigns finally defeated Napoleon. The two never met but their generalships are the canonical opposed European military traditions — Napoleon's offensive-genius mass-conscription model and Wellington's defensive-discipline reverse-slope tactics are the textbook 'French Revolutionary vs British line' military pairing.
