out a struggle the day after

contentious: (a) That Carpen-

Who Was Napoleon?
Napoleon was born in 1869 on the
Island of Corsica He had various
brothers and sisters He was bad
tempered, selfish, and overbearing
but had a good mother. Through
the French government of Corsica
he secured admission to a military
school in Paris from which he
graduated in 1875. He became an
unimportant officer in the artillery
He apparently secured no recog-
milton until an uprising of the
liberals in Paris when he took a
courageous stand and helped save
the Directory which then controlled
France. He married a charming
woman, Josephine. who helped him
in his ambitions.
AT the age OF 81 Napoleon was
sent to Italy. which France was
then attempting to make colony.
Napoleon was successful in this
campaign but treated the Italians
with barbarous severity. Having be-
come master of Italy, he started
forth to conquer Egypt SO as to be-
come a second Caesar" He how
ever. was stopped by the British
under Nelson. Napoleon was there
fore cut off from France. But by
numbering his prisoners and forSak
ing his own army he got back to
Paris. France, at the time, was be-
