Napoleon Bonaparte.(Napoleon I), 1769-1821, emperor of the French, who consolidated and institutionalized many reforms of the French Revolution. One of the greatest military commanders of all time, he conquered the larger part of Europe and did much to modernize the nations he ruled.
   In 1799 he failed to capture Syria, but he won a smashing victory over the Turks at Abû Qîr (Abukir). France, meanwhile, faced a new coalition; Austria, Russia and lesser powers had allied with Britain. Bonaparte decided to leave his army and return to save France. In Paris, he joined a conspiracy against the government. In the coup d'etat of November 9-10, 1799 (18-19 Brumaire), he and his colleagues seized power and established a new regime - the Consulate.
   Under its constitution, Bonaparte, as first consul, had almost dictatorial powers. The constitution was revised in 1802 to make Bonaparte consul for life and in 1804 to create him emperor. Each change received the overwhelming assent of the electorate. In 1800, he assured his power by crossing the Alps and defeating the Austrians at Marengo. He then negotiated a general European peace that established the Rhine River as the eastern border of France. He also concluded an agreement with the pope (the Concordat of 1801), which contributed to French domestic tranquillity by ending the quarrel with the Roman Catholic church that had arisen during the Revolution. In France the administration was reorganized, the court system was simplified, and all schools were put under centralized control. French law was standardized in the Code Napoléon, or civil code and six other codes. They guaranteed the rights and liberties won in the Revolution, including equality before the law and freedom of religion..Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.
