One of the bloodiest revolutions in history was the French Revolution. This revolution had a significant impact on French society, but left several horrible and negative effects on the French people, especially those who were guillotined. Despite these impacts, there was one man who transformed French society towards a new beginning. Napoleon Bonaparte, a French political and military leader, gained popularity because he was not an ordinary man. His childlike intelligence, his heroism, his intellectual views on the new political organization, his aggressiveness in the expansion of the empire and its fall make him an extraordinary man. First, his childhood and education mark a significant part in Napoleon's life as he was intelligent. Born on August 15, 1769 on the island of Corsica, Napoleon was the son of a “poor and pretentious” minor noble family. His father was a political opportunist and lawyer and his mother was “beautiful and strong-willed.” As a child, Napoleon demonstrated his genius and knowledge of politics during the French Revolution. He excelled in all subjects, including mathematics, and became obsessed with reading books about Alexander the Great and other rulers who had contributed to history. Thanks to his great skill, he entered the French military academy in 1779 in Brienne and in 1784 in Paris. After finishing his studies in Paris, he was promoted to second lieutenant of artillery. As for being an extraordinary man, Napoleon Bonaparte exemplified his heroism in his rise to power. In 1973 he commanded French troops to attack the British Army from Toulon. As a result, he became a hero during that time but unfortunately, he was arrested for treason. However, enormous political flexibility saved him, so he became a hero again as he defended the government from angry counterrevolutionaries
