The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte emerged after the French Revolution. He ended up seizing absolute power, crowning himself emperor and embarking his country on an expansionist spiral: the Napoleonic Wars. Beyond the military sphere, as a ruler Napoleon forced Europe to enter modernity and included in his policies some of the ideas that emerged from the Enlightenment. He promoted a new civil code, which, among other things, prohibited privileges based on birth, established meritocracy in the civil service and advocated religious freedom. http://academiaplay.es/ BUY OUR UNIVERSAL HISTORY BOOK https://www.amazon.es/historia-nunca-...
