15-minute video analysing key aspects of Napoleon Bonaparte. The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte emerged in the aftermath of 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 into modernity and included some of the ideas of the Enlightenment in his policies. 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.
