My Idol
Hi, My Idol
Is Napoleon Bonaparte because he is a great emperor of France Empire. I like
his
leadership, tactical war skill, and military theory. Napoleon begun his
career with a patriotsm of revolution, he makes justice, glory, and victory
become reality for France. The most impotant that he can change the world even
in defeat “changer le monde ait jamais vaincre”. It quite sad that history said
Napoleon defeated, but the situation if the history changed will be not same as
now. Now I will tell you about his short history (not copied of course).
Early Age
Napoleon was
born on 15 August 1769 to Carlo Maria di Buonaparte and Maria Letizia Ramolino
in Ajaccio, Corsica. He had an elder brother,
Joseph and younger sister Lucien,
Elisa, Louis, Pauline, Caroline and Jerome.
When
napoleon was in Brienne military school (10) he was being discriminated and
teased by his friends he spoke with a Corsican accent and never learned to
spell properly. They don’t tolerate the other culture and make such things look
funny and of course they don’t tolerate napoleon at all, but he know that he
has intended it to have to learn and he doesn’t
care about the intolerance that he received, then he was commissioned
second lieutenant in the artillery in 1785.
Early Career
“some man
lies a simple life while others have fire to change the world, I don’t know
when fire in napoleon first burned perhaps he has always destiny, sometimes
destiny can use a little help for even a revolution. The war ways were drown in
the tide of blood. A man could whatever he wanted, even a strom”
Siege of
Toulon (1793)
Siege of
Toulon was first battle for Napoleon he was appointed artillery commander of
the france forces, the city has taken by the brittish then he planned to
capture a hill where french guns could dominate the city's harbour and force
the British ships to evacuate. The assault on the position, made Napoleon
wounded in the thigh, but led to the capture of the city. He was promoted to
brigadier general at the age of 24.
Italian
campaign
“ In 1769
Napoleon was sent to command the army of Italy, the french knew that Austria
would fight in Germany they knew that Italian campaign had to be pointless,
that was his unique “I will lead you to the most fertile plains in the world
you will find honor, glory, and riches.” The soldiers are listened but, they
didn’t belive, so many days without hope, without glory.”
Italian
campaign was the most successful campaign for Napoleon, two days after the
marriage with Josephine de Bauharmis, he left Paris to take command of the Army
of Italy and led it on a successful invasion of Italy. At the Battle of Lodi he
defeated Austrian forces and drove them out of Lombardy. In 1797 he crossed the
cold Alps into Vienna and negotiated the Treaty of Campo Formio and Bonaparte
returned to Paris in December.
Egyptian
campaign
“It was a
time of exploration and conquest everywhere, French man travel the world,
learning, teaching, trading. Always british are threat, their ship sunk us down
their merchant took the best. As the British rule the sea, France suffered. In
the heat of Summer in 1798, the eastern wealth will be ours, Egypt here the
sand whisper ancient victory and glory, here napoleon felt the history of forty
centuries upon his shoulder, what have done up to know is nothing, the dessert
is harsh, unforgiven, brave alone will not give any life.”
Napoleon
decided France's naval power was not yet strong enough to confront the Royal
Navy in the English Channel and proposed a military campaign to Egypt and
prevent British access to its trade interests in India.
The Egyptian
campaign does not produce good results France only captured city and town that
cannot make Napoleon dream come true. At the end France army was defeated by
combined ottoman and mamluks they naval also defeated by the british admiral
Horatio Nelson lord of HMS Victory, but the campaign worth a many historical
notes and knowledge then he returned to France in 1799.
Europe
Campaign
“December
1804 France watch Napoleon became emperor he said “I found French throne in
gutter and I pick it up, Vive La Empire!” He was a flame, Napoleon gave france
greatness, glory, justice and law,
nothing was untouch, he scold may justice become reality for all. The old
enemies plotted against him, Brittain, Austria, Russia, and other lick
spitless. In 1805 all of France his empire prepare for war.”
Napoleon
established a new France monarchy with himself as Emperor Napoleon I. He
continued his military triumphs, conquering the Austrian and Russian armies in
Ulm and Austerlitz. In 1806 he defeated a Prussian and when the Portuguese
refused to blockade the brittish trade, he involved the Peninsular War and took
over Iberia (Includes spain and portugal). In September 1812, Napoleon led an
attack on Russia and reached Moscow in snowy winter.
“Our enemy
said we could not to win, what different
they ask could one man made? Every different I replied if that man is Napoleon,
Napoleon watch the Moscow falls, he expected victory nothing less or doom,
victory came because he willed, Napoleon wills, Napoleon Ambitions set the
match to king of the world”
The Defeat
The Russian
winter is most dangerious threat for Napoleon when the fall nations know the
napoleon armys were suffered by winter they resist against him then Prussian
joined Russia, Britain, Sweden, and Austria in the Battle of Nations at Leipzig
in October. Napoleon retreated to Paris, and fought various attacks on Paris,
but the city finally fell in March 1814. The Bourbon King dynasty was restored,
and Napoleon was exiled to the island of Elba. in March 1815 he returned to
France and drove King Louis XVIII into exile, occupying Paris at the beginning
of a period known as the Hundred Days. In the last battle the battle of
waterloo (18 June 1815) Napoleon's forces fought the allies, led by Wellington
and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Wellington's army stand defend from French
attacks and drove them from the field while the Prussians arrived in force and
broke through Napoleon's right flank. Napoleon was defeated and formally
surrender to the British Captain
Frederick Maitland on HMS Bellerophon on 15 July 1815. On 23 June He was
exiled, to the island of St. Helena, where he spent the rest of his life and
died in 1821
“La mort
c'est rien, mais vivre vaincu et sans gloire, c'est mourir vous les jours
-Napoleon” “Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die
daily”
“Some men
live and die in the shade of their olive trees, some men change the world even
in defeat.”
