Napoleon bonaparte

Between 1799 and 1815, a series of major conflicts were fought between France and several European nations in what became Napoleonic wars under the stewardship of young Napoleon Bonaparte. The Napoleonic war followed the War of the first Coalition (1793-1797) and involved national armies with riflemen, artillery and large-scale use of guns. Napoleon had seized power after the 1799 coup d’état in France and in 1804 he crowned himself the emperor of France in a lavish ceremony. Under his leadership, France engaged in a series of battles against nations and allied coalitions in an aim to expand the empire across central and western Europe. For more than a decade and a half, Napoleon fought many battles suffering heavy defeats and winning crucial battles. 10. Battle of Aboukir Bay (August of 1798) - Also, known as the Battle of Nile, it was a naval engagement between the British Royal Navy and the Navy of the French Republic at Aboukir Bay. The battle was fought on August 1, 1798, and resulted in a key victory for British Admiral Horatio Nelson. Napoleon’s plan was not only to invade Egypt but also barricade the British trade routes which linked to India and by so doing, loosen the grip and power of Britain in India. The battle was fought a few hours until nightfall, and the British naval force maneuvered around the French line of battle and the fight ensued. The victory was key for the British as they regained Malta from the French and secured control of the Mediterranean. 9....

St Helena, 7 May Buonaparte died on the 5th May at 6pm, after an illness of six weeks; the last fortnight only considered dangerous. The body has been opened, and the disease ascertained to be a cancer in the stomach, with a great extent of ulceration. He has been lying in state since yesterday afternoon, the Admiral, Governor, and heads of departments having first seen the body. During the first four weeks of his illness, it did not assume any very dangerous appearance, though he seemed himself to be conscious that it would terminate fatally. But for the last fortnight it was evident to all the medical attendants that he could not recover. It is said that he gave directions about his affairs and papers till five or six hours before he died, having retained his senses till that period, he said he wished to be opened, in order that his son might be informed of the nature of his disease. The body was opened by his own surgeon. We believe that he left a will, which, with his other papers, have been, or will of course be, transmitted to this country. One trait of character displayed itself in his last moments, which marks the “ruling passion strong in death.” As he found his end approach, he was habited, at his own request, in his uniform of field marshal, with the boots and spurs, and placed on a camp bed, on which he was accustomed to sleep when in health, and preferred to every other. In this dress he is said to have expired. His attendants wished his body to be conveyed to...
