1. Lesson Plan Focus
Napoleon's early fame was based on military victories. After overthrowing the Directory, he used clever political maneuvering to become Emperor of the French. While his new law code reflected Enlightenment principles, it also undid some revolutionary reforms. Defeating the European powers in battle, Napoleon built a vast empire by annexing lands, making alliances, and placing members of his family on the thrones of Europe.
