Best Answer

His motives were to improve the law and educational systems of his empire and to give its people religious freedom, whilst toppling the old imperial orders throughout Europe that felt threatened by Napoleon's progressive ideas. Many nations subsequently formed coalitions against Napoleonic France in an attempt to curb the spread of revolution.

Napoleon often decided on matters himself, without consulting the National

Assembly. (Example: the sale of Louisiana) He proclaimed himself Emperor,

after the French had abolished the monarchy and place his family members in

different royal positions. He tried to renew slavery in Haiti. He was responsible

for more than 6 million deaths during 17 years of war, and impoverished and

reduced the role of France in world affairs. He destroyed the ideals of the

revolution.
