Napoleon in prison at Nice, France, 1794. Artist: J Outrim

Napoleon in prison at Nice, France, 1794. Napoleon Bonaparte (1721-1818) enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ranks of the French Revolutionary army.

In 1804, he declared himself Emperor and embarked on a series of military campaigns across Europe: the Napoleonic Wars. Victories such as Austerlitz and Jena led to France establishing its power across much of the continent.
