Napoleon Bonaparte 'Good and Bad' -- Carly

Napoleon Bonaparte was a very selfish and self centered. Although there were some things that France benefited from. Napoleon only wanted what was best for him and he didn’t care about any of the people in France unless they were in the military.
My opinion is that Napoleon was a bad and good leader. For example Napoleon made public schools but he only made them to better his military. Napoleon took away all the rights from women and children, men had all the power over the household and them. Another one is that he was extremely confident which lead him to think that the only person that was important was him.
Some good things Napoleon did were. Napoleon fought at the frontlines (in front of his army not at the back). He enforced laws for all the citizens. For example he made all the citizens pay taxes. Napoleon made the bank of France and took over the Directory. He also strengthened the French Economy and he made the Napoleonic code.
Napoleon conquered most of Europe. He won the battle of Moscow and he also broke up the mob in Paris, which made him very popular. In his last battle before he was exiled to Saint Helena, he won the battle of Waterloo. He studied war so that made him able to run a good military.
