Napoleon BonaparteNapoleon was born into an
impoverished noble family from Corsica – he left home in 1785 and became a lieutenant in the French artillery. He rose rapidly in the French army and was placed in command of French forces in Italy (fighting against Austria) and won impressive victories in 1796 and 1797 – this helped to create his reputation.
