Chapter 1 Napoleon:From Schoolboy to Emperor
Napoleon was a French soldier who became emperor of France. He was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica. When he was only 10 years old, his father sent him to military(军事) school in France. N. wasn’t a very good student in most of his classes, but he excelled(优于)in mathematics and military science. When he was 16 years old, he joined the French army. In that year he began the military career that brought him fame, power, riches, and, finally, defeat. N. became a general in the French army at the young age of 24. Several years later, he became the emperor of the French Empire.
N. was many things. He was, first of all, a brilliant(杰出的) military leader. His soldiers were ready to die for him. As a result, N. won many, many military victories. At one time he controlled most of Europe, but many countries, including England, Russia, and Austria fought fiercely against him. His defeat – his end – came when he decided to attack Russia. In this military campaign against Russia, he lost most of his army.
The great French conqueror died alone -- deserted by his family and friends – in 1821. N. was only 51 years old when he died.
