Answer:
In 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself
the Emperor of France and reintroduced monarchy in France. He conquered his
neighbouring countries and created kingdoms, where he placed his own family
members. He was called a moderniser of Europe. He introduced many laws such as the
protection of private property and a uniform system of weights and measures
provided by the decimal system. Initially, many people believed that Napoleon
was a liberator who would bring freedom for the people. But soon his army was
viewed as an invading force. So he was finally defeated in 1815, in the famous
'Battle of Waterloo'. Many of his measures that carried the revolutionary ideas
of liberty and modern laws to other parts of Europe had an impact on people
long after Napoleon had left.
