I believe that Napoleon Bonaparte was the creator not the creation of his time. In 1795 of October Napoleon had a big responsibility when a government official told Napoleon to help and defend the delegates. Napoleons gunners met thousands of royalist with a cannonade. The attackers rushed and ran away because they were so panicked and confused. He became the hero and was the savior of the French public. In 1796, Napoleon was told to lead the French army against the forces of Australia and the kingdom of Sardinia. He won a series of amazing victories.

  • Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant?

    1475 Words  | 3 Pages

    Napoleon Bonaparte was an interesting ruler in that he was compromised of attributes of both a tyrant and a hero. Napoleon had a strong following throughout his reign and even during his two exiles. He was the emperor of France between 1799 and 1815, following the fall of the Directory. Despite the efforts of the French Revolution to rid the country of an autocratic ruler, Bonaparte came to power as Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I in 1804. He claimed that he preserved the goals of the Revolution, which can be easily argued as his rule became more dictatorial as it progressed. Despite his departure from some of the gains of the Revolution, he overall was a hero for the French people. Through his military ventures, political changes and social reform, Napoleon proved himself as a hero. This is not to say that there were aspects of his reign that were tyrannical, but he was overall beneficial for France.
