Napoleon Bonaparte --Sarah



Napoleon Bonaparte was a selfish person and only did things that benefitted him. He was the leader of France during the Enlightenment. He had himself made the First Consul for life and proclaimed himself Emperor of France. He also took over the directory. He was a bad leader for the French because he only cared about his army, but he did some good things for France only to advance himself and his army.

He created public schools that everyone could go to but he only wanted to better educate people for his army. He created national banks and an empire. He created the Napoleonic Code that was not good for women or children because it made them lose their rights.

Napoleon only cared about his army and himself, but he lied to people. When he lost a battle he went back to France and did not tell anybody that he lost and everyone thought he was a hero. He mislead his troops. Napoleon only lied to get a better rank for himself and just wanted to be on top of everybody else.

When Napoleon was fighting in battles he destroyed people’s homes and made people’s lives very difficult. He did not make life easier for the French. Napoleon was a bad leader for the French and was just in it for himself.
