Best Answer

Napoleon was born on the small island of Corsica. At the age of 14 he decided on a military career and won a scholarship to a prestigious military academy in Brienne. After this he became a captain of artillery during the siege of Toulon. He seized crucial forts and bombarded the British naval and land forces. From there he was promoted to the commander of the French army in Italy. He was later arrested for being an associate of the younger brother of Maximillien Robespierre. After his release Napoleon thought of joining the Turkish army or the naval expedition to Australia. At this time he met a man named Paul Barras who used Napoleon's zeal to put down a royalist mob in 1795. Using this as a stepping stone, Napoleon took command of the Italian army. He won over his badly treated soldiers with promises of great things to come. He also fought in the heat of battle to inspire his men, much like Caesar.
