Napoleon Bonaparte was a great war strategist he won wars and battles, his great ideals got him to great power and social class including glory but his ambition for power got him to be rejected by some and loved by others. Even though he was short in size he could demonstrate that his intellect was beyond anyone’s. He demonstrated how his strategies got him to win battles and to great socialstatus although after a while he over exceeded.
“Napoleon Buonaparte was born on August the 15th 1769, the second of eight children. His father Carlo Buonaparte was named Corsica's representative to the court of Louis XVI in 1777”. Napoleon's noble background and family connections got him great opportunities to study than what were available to any individual in those times which after some studygot him to join the army. “In January 1779, Napoleon was enrolled at a religious school in Autun, mainland France, to learn French, and in May he was admitted to a military academy at Brienne-le-Château. He spoke with a marked Corsican accent and never learned to spell properly”. Napoleon was teased by other students for his size and his accent which made him to take position and applies to readingand study for several years maybe 2 or 3. After this period of time he was recognized for his abilities and great ideas. He started with some conquers which were: First Italian Campaign, the Egyptian Campaign, Second Italian Campaign,  the Ulm-Austerlitz Campaign, the Prussian Campaign, the Peninsular War,  the Austrian War,  the Russian Campaign and the Waterloo Campaign. After many years ofbeing molested by others Napoleon got tired and wanted to prove that intellect and ability had nothing to do with size, accent or language.
His first conquer started in Italy. “On April 1796, Napoleon Bonaparte led his army into Italy. His 38000 French soldiers faced 38000 Austrians. Bonaparte’s plan was to isolate the Austrians from the Piedmontese, then conquer each separately”. He applies hisknowledge and tries a new way of conquering.
“In just two weeks, he broke the back of Piedmont’s army, crushing their troops with lightning attacks at the battles of Montenotte and Mondovi. On April 26, Piedmont surrendered”. Napoleon demanded their goods such as were gold and silver and paid his army to win their trust this was the first real money they had seen in years. “With Piedmont defeated,Bonaparte now pursued the Austrians, who retreated to the east, bewildered by the 26-year-old general and his new way of making war”.

France was still at war with Great Britain, and Bonaparte hoped to disruptBritish trade routes to India and establish French domination in the exotic east. He eluded a British fleet, captured the port of Malta and on July 1st, 1798 landed with 35,000 soldiers in Egypt. For centuries the Egyptians had been part of the Turkish Empire, ruled by the fiercest warriors in the Middle East. The Mamelukes waited fearlessly for the French armies. On July 21, 1798, after marchingtwo weeks across the desert, Bonaparte’s armies came within sight of the pyramids and 10,000, Mamelukes drawn up on horseback across the sands. Bonaparte’s men stood in tight formation and held their fire until the Mamelukes reached within fifty paces of their ranks. The Battle of the Pyramids was over in an hour. Three days later, Bonaparte led his army into Cairo.
Frustrated by Portugal'sdefiance of his Continental Blockade against trade with Great Britain, Napoleon ordered General Jerot to march French troops over the Pyrenees. On November, French troops entered the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and closed the country's ports to English ships.
