Introduction
Napoléon Bonaparte was and still is one of France's most revered heroes.
Though born a Corsican in 1769, Napoléon journeyed to France for schooling at the age of nine. He remained fiercely patriotic towards his homeland throughout his life, though he visited Corsica infrequently after leaving.

He often tried to help the island, but was persecuted for his efforts. Napoléon never returned to Corsica willingly, though once he was forced to land on the island in a gale.
After an interesting and quiet childhood Napoléon joined the French artillery at the age of sixteen.
Through hard work, bravery, political connections, and being born in a turbulent age, Napoléon rose to the rank of general. In 1799 Bonaparte was elected First Consul of France and Her Dependencies for Life and began his astonishing political career.
Later he proclaimed himself France's emperor.
