Napoleon Bonaparte and the Napoleonic Wars
The figure of Napoleon Bonaparte emerged after the French Revolution. He ended up taking 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 the modern era and included in his policies some of the ideas arising 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.
