The French Revolution in 1789 deposed the King, Louis XVI. Subsequently Napoleon Bonaparte became 1st Consul & later Emporer of France. Napoleon must rate as one of the greatest military leaders in History. He led the Grande Armee through Europe on campains of great distinction, fighting the Austrians , Russians & Prussians at various times in great set piece battles. Napoleon established France as the greatest European power. His two principal defeats were at Leipzig in 1813 after the retreat from Moscow, & of course, at Waterloo, the culmination of the Hundred Days campaign, where he was beaten by the combination of Wellington & Blucher.
