What French dictator was known for how short he was?

Napoleon Bonaparte . The French do not regard Napoleon as a dictator. He was more properly called Premier or Emperor. He is a great hero in France. Napoleon, it might be noted, was not even French. He was born (1769) in Corsica, shortly before it was incorporated into France (30 Nov 1789). His native language and ancestry were Italian and French historians have noted that he never lost his pronounced Italian accent. Napoleon's short stature was mocked in cartoons in England, France's longtime enemy. Napoleon was an ally of America, but over the years the American view of Napoleon has become similar to the British viewpoint.


How is Beethoven's symphony supportive toward Napoleon?

Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, is the third symphony written by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was originally entitled "Napoleon" because Beethoven admired Napoleon Bonaparte as a liberator of the oppressed and a great hero. Beethoven eventually recognised Bonaparte for what he was and changed the name to "Eroica" (A Great Man). Full title is - Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, op. 55 "Eroica" "op" is short for opus. Opus means work, so it is his 55th work.


Who was the man that eroica dedicated to the memory of a great man?

Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (which is what I assume you're referring to) was intended to be dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte (and was originally scheduled to be called "Bonaparte"), but the composer became disgusted when Napoleon declared himself Emperor of the French. (The fact that his patrons wouldn't have been terribly happy about it may have had some impact as well.)Nevertheless, it's clear from Beethoven's letters that he had originally written it in honor of Napoleon, and still regarded it that way at the time of Napoleon's death even though he had retitled it and given it an ambiguous dedication.The fact that it was dedicated to the memory of a great man might refer to Beethoven's attempt to dedicate it to Napoleon, the Hero of the Common People (whom Beethoven admired) as distinct from Napoleon I, Emperor of France (which made Beethoven think that Napoleon was just another tyrant).


How was napoloen bonarpete able to rise to power?

Despite defeats in Egypt, Napoleon returned to a hero's reception. Outmanoeuvring the government and supported by his army he collaborated in a coup d'état to overthrow the Directory and establish the Consulate. By 1800 Napoleon had become the First Consul of France, and was now in a position of total power.
