'''Napoleon Bonaparte''' (/nəˈpoʊliən, -ˈpoʊljən/; <small>French: </small>[napɔleɔ̃ bɔnapaʁt], born ''Napoleone di Buonaparte''; August 15<sup>th</sup>, 1769 – May 5<sup>th</sup>, 1821) was a French military and political leader. He rose to prominence during the French Revolution and its associated wars. As '''Napoleon I''', he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814, and again in 1815. Napoleon dominated European affairs for nearly two decades while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Revolutionary Wars and the [[Napoleonic Wars]].  

Napoleon won the large majority of his 60 major battles and seized control of most of continental Europe before his ultimate defeat in 1815. One of the greatest commanders in history, his campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide, and he remains one of the most celebrated and controversial political figures in Western history. In civil affairs, Napoleon implemented several liberal reforms across Europe, including the abolition of feudalism, the establishment of legal equality and religious toleration, and the legalization of divorce. 

Napoleon's lasting legal achievement, the Napoleonic Code, has been adopted by dozens of nations around the world. The Code included policies that the affirmed “natural authority” of husband over wife which prevented women from selling property, owning a business or entering a profession without a husband's permission and lack of paternity suits, an equalized criminal code, and educational reform. Napoleon also passed the "Law of 20 May 1802" which revoked the "Law of 16 Pluviôse" that had ended [[slavery]] in all French held territory. 

His nephew, [[Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte]], went on to become the first President of France, in 1848 following the overthrow of France's last king, Louis Philippe, and then Emperor of the French in 1852, following his self coup, when he could not be constitutionally re-elected. He ruled for the next 18 years when he was captured at the Battle of Sedan in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.
