Napoleon Bonaparte was France’s leader and foremost military general from 1799 to 1815. In the aftermath of the French Revolution, he led a series of key campaigns against foreign invaders. After taking power, he extended the French Empire and its egalitarian, democratic values throughout Europe. Acemoglu and Robinson credit Napoleon with ending feudalism and creating the inclusive institutions that brought long-term economic prosperity to Western Europe.
