In 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself emperor of France. He set out to conquer neighboring European countries, dispossessing dynasties and creating kingdoms where he placed members of his family. Napoleon saw his role as a modernizer of Europe. He introduced laws such as protection of private property, uniform system of weights and measures provided by the decimal system.
