That is a tough question. The Napoleonic code created a law code still in use. However, I will go with the invasion of Spain. Napoleon's invasion of Spain gave the impetus for the Latin American nations to declare their freedom. It also made the king of Portugal realize he had to choose between Portugal and Brazil. Many countries in the world that use the Napoleonic Code are now going over to English Law in civil matters, so the Napoleonic code is losing part of its value. Brazil is even starting to use some features of English Law in criminal matters. If this trend continues, then the long term results of the revolutions that came about as a result of Napoleon's invasion of Spain will outlive his Code.
His skillful use of movement and supporting arms on the battlefield and the creation of the Napoleonic Code.
Before the Napoleonic Code, each locality in France had their own laws, which could be very different from surrounding areas. This made life confusing. The most significant aspect of the Napoleonic Code is that it set uniform laws for all of France. It primarily abolished the three estates from the Old Regime and granted equal rights before the law to people of all classes. Unfortunately women could not hold property and Napoleon could overrule any law.The Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoléon (originally called the Code civil des Français) was the French civil code, established under Napoléon I (Napoleon Bonaparte), and its use began on March 21, 1804. It is considered one of the first successful codifications of common laws in Europe, and is still the basis of the French legal system, as well as that of the US state of Louisiana.Napoleon I set out to reform the French legal code. He collected the mish mash of existing civil law in France and appointed a panel of four judges to codify French law, clarify it and reduce it to a written code in 1804. It was the first modern legal code and was designed to make the law both more uniform and more accessible so everyone would know the consequences of their behavior and all citizens would be treated the same. It is a system of civil law based on Justinian's sixth-century codification of Roman law. Napoleon's code is still in use but has been revised.See related link.
Napoleon was a great general: One of Historys' great commanders. Much of his achievement in the time between 1796 & 1815 is down to one single factor, he is a great leader. His leadership qualities are outstanding in both the military sense & in the governance of the new republic. The Code Napoleon is still, in many ways, a main part of French law. He revolutionises warfare: It wasn't called it then, but the Blitzkreig is a Napoleonic facet, the breaking of the enemy line by a battering ram, a mass colunmn, which disrupts the enemy dramatically. The manouvering before Ulm in 1805 is well executed and mystifying to the Austrian defenders: Austerlitz follows and the Austro/Russian force is crushed, then follows Jena/Auerstadt & Prussia is humbled, in 1806. And this then sets the tone of the mastery of continental Europe at the start of the 19th century. If generalship is what drives you then Napoleon is as good as any really, given that warfare is a means of influencing the lives of others in the most basic way. The destruction of the enemy is what he does devastatingly, as well in the years to come, of his own forces. The comparison with Wellington is striking in this way, but of course Wellington was commanding an army, Napoleon was an Emperor! What if Blucher doesn't arrive at Waterloo ? & all else is conjecture.....
Yes, they were the first shoe that Nike ever made for basketball back in 1982. Although they are mainly used for style nowadays, basketball players still use them to play in.

Mauritius was a French colony until the British took it over during the Napoleonic Wars. French influence still exists with parts of the Napoleonic Code still in use. French (including Creole) is also one of the largest spoken languages in the country.
Louisiana is the only state to use the Napoleonic code instead of common law. They do use the common law for criminal matters.

Yes it is still in use nowadays by many people... I'm pretty sure.
Special privilege for nobles was replaced with a system of civil laws governing property ownership and criminal procedures.
