History, Berea Academy
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
Napoleon, the Corsicau


The mountain men of Corsica
struggled hard for their freedom in
the eighteenth century. The father
Of Napoleon Bonaparte was one OF
those who bore arms with the
hardy Corsican mountaineers against
French rule. When France at last
gained the victory, the elder Bona
parte then yielded to the inevitable,
and took service under the French
government. His son, the famous
Napoleon Bonaparte, tho born a
French subject, spoke Corsican Ital-
ian as a youth, and indeed never fully
mastered the French language, tho
he became finally the supreme ruler
of the French people.
The Youth Of Napoleon
In his youth Napoleon showed a
most untameable spirit. He was OBJ
stinate, self-willed, and quarrelsome,
even his brothers being afraid of
him. His father secured an appoint
ment for him at French military
school. Here the proud, sensitive
youth became gloomy and defiant as
he, a Corsican with empty pockets,
found himself associated with the
sons of aristocratic old French fam
lilies. He felt that he was their SUI
perior in spirit, even tho the poverty
of his family made him the butt of
these 'high-born Clowns as he called
them. Thus as he grew up, filled
with hatred for the French nobility,
he became more taciturn, more
naughty, more self-centered, and
more fiery than ever.
His Advances in Military Career
As he was poor and a Corsican, he
stood little chance of securing a good
appointment when his military train
ing was finished. At first he secured
minor commission in an artillery
regiment. When the French Revolu-
ton broke out in 1889, he took the
peoples side, tho he scorned the
masses for their noisy demonstra-
tions and their unmanageable mobs.
But it was the Revolution which gave
him his real opportunity for advance
ment. One charge after another was
entrusted to him by the Revolution
lists. His success showed clearly his
military genius. When at last he
saved the National Convention from
the Partisan mob and the National
Guard by clearing the streets of
Paris with a terrific cannonade Of
grape-shot, the government gave him
command Of the French revolutionary
army in Italy. At this time he was
only twenty-seven years old. Under
the monarchy he could never have
hoped for such advancement, especial
ly at SO early an age.
NapoleOn's Wars
At this time the armies of the
chief nations of Europe were turned
against France. Napoleon handled
the campaign against the Italians
and the Austrians so brilliantly that
he utterly humbled the Italians AMI
the proud Austrians, and won the
confidence of the French people them
selves. This success opened new
dreams before him. He hoped to be-
come the master of Western Europe.
Year after year as he gained increas-
ing strength at home, ne spread his
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1921-03-31

power over the map Of Europe until
almost all Of the continental powers
were forced to recognize his author
ity. Still, Europe would not quite
submit TO his dictation and so formed
alliance after alliance in order to
break his power and throw Oft his
yoke.
His Power in France
At first Napoleon was just gen
eral Of the French government
Then as his success and power in
creased, he overthrow the unstable
rule which had been established by
the Revolution and took the reins Of
government into his own hands, sup
plementing a feeble attempt at de-
mocracy with strong military rule.
II found the crown Of France lying
on the ground and I picked II up
with the sword" he once said. Final
", after putting the question TO tn,
peoples vote, he crowned himsclf
Napoleon l., Emperor Of the French,
and set up an elaborate court at the
Tuilleries, where French kings had
formerly lived. He made his rcla-
tives and his favorite advisers into
dukes, princes. and counts. Finally
he divorced his wife, Josephine. who
had been one Of his chief aids in
this rapid rise to power, and in her
place he married the daughter Of the
Austrian Emperor. BY this time he
was ruling France with despotism
rs complete ms that ever exercised
by the Bourbon kings who had been
so recently driven from the throne.
All this was the work ~ the morose.
brooding cadet who had sulked be-
cause the sons Of the aristocrats
sighted him. All this was the work
Of the poor young Corsican who had
seemed good for nothing but to study
geometry as he had once said.
The Fall Of Napoleon
But the time came when Napoleon
could hold out no longer against the
armed forces of allied Europe. At
last in 1914 he abdicated the throne
and retired to the little island Of
Elba. which was all that was left to
him 70 rule. Once again his proud.
ambitious spirit broke loose. Sud
denly, contrary to all his previous
promises, he appeared in France,
rallied an army about him, and for
three months terrified Europe. But
he was gambling with the chances
ayainst him. In the end the allies
defeated him at Waterloo. Again
Napoleon surrendered, this time to
tie English. They feared to trust
him again, and so they exiled him to
the desolate island Of st. Helena in
the midst Of the Atlantic Ocean, a
thousand miles from the coast OF
Africa. There he lived for six years
in lonely exile, eating his heart out
with disappointment and bitterness.
When at last he died at St. Helena,
he was only ffty-one years old. The
French soon forgot how much suffer
ing he had caused their nation, soon
forgot how despotic he had been.
They brought back his body to Paris
and enshrined it in the heart Of their
beautiful capitol. to remind them of
all the glory which the great Napol-
con won for France.
OF all the brilliant careers in his
tory, there is none that equals that
Of Napoleon in brilliance. Thru the
power of his own genius he rose from
a despised Corsican lieutenant Of ar
tillery TO be the most powerful mon
arch of all Europe, with the nations
Of the earth trembling before him.
