How did napoleaon become a hero in France?

Answer 1

Napoleon was born Italian of a upper-middle class family. At the time in France, the revolution was at its ending and they needed someone to take control. Because of Napoleon, the way officials were chosen went from artistocracy, where people were looked upon by class, to being chosen by their competence. This meant better authority in every aspect. He went to a school that is equal to America's West Point Military College (meaning it was elite) and excelled in the area of mathematics. this allowed him to become an expert military leader because he could pinpoint, for instance, exactly where a canon ball would hit. He brought France into the modern world using the Napoleonic Code, meaning that government jobs go to the most qualified. He revolutionized the education system, creating schools and implementing authority in these things. He also updated the infrastructure (roads, sewage, etc..)
