Napoleon Bonaparte Coloring Page

Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica and rose through the French army during the Revolution. In 1804 he crowned himself emperor in a big ceremony in Paris. That same year he introduced the Napoleonic Code, a set of laws that many countries still use in some form.

People often say he was very short, but he was probably about average height for his time. After losing at Waterloo in 1815 he was sent to the remote island of Saint Helena, where he died in 1821.
