Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the island of Corsica in 1769. He graduated 42nd out of 58 in his class at the Paris military academy. He was Emperor of France at thirty-four.

He conquered most of Europe. He introduced the Napoleonic Code — still the foundation of civil law in dozens of countries today. He abolished feudalism across every territory he conquered.

In 1812 he led 600,000 men into Russia. Approximately half a million never came back.

He died on a remote island in the South Atlantic on 5 May 1821. He was fifty-one years old.

His gravestone was left blank. The French wanted it to say Napoleon. The British wanted it to say Napoleon Bonaparte. Neither side would compromise. For nineteen years the stone had no name.

This is the most French story ever told.
