    Napoleon Bonaparte was a dominating presence during his time as Emperor of France. If one were to look at him from a packaged point of view, it would appear he was in a position to be a very popular and beloved ruler.

    During the French Revolution, there was a king who was either a hero or an ‘evil tyrant’ or enemy of the French Revolution. This leader was known as Napoleon Bonaparte. He was identified as Emperor of the French and his accomplishments in his life. Other people argue about either Napoleon is a hero or an evil tyrant.

    “Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest eighteenth-century French master of propaganda is beyond dispute” (ch. 2, p.1). Napoleon created for himself the image of the Revolutionary hero through conscious manipulation of dispatches, correspondence, medallions, and especially, of the press (Intro, p.2). Napoleon’s strategic use of propaganda rocketed him by his growth in popular press. Napoleon enlisted the help of propaganda to be a in a sense, his own squad of cheerleaders.

    As I would see it, I think that Napoleon was the inventor of his times not the creation. In that time period, I don't think he would have done every one of the things he did in the event that he hadn't experienced all that work to turn into the dictator.

I imagine that developed his certainty and made him more

    Napoleon Bonaparte was the first emperor of France and led France into an authoritarian system that has contributed a substantial amount of work that helped bring France back up.

However, this isn’t entirely true because yes, Napoleon wanted to be the sole ruler of France, but he knew that in order to do that
