Events › Napoleon - A Life in Four Movements

Napoleon. A name that has left an undeniable mark on history but stretched and skewed to fit narratives. From Emperor to dictator. From Corsican upstart to military colossus. A deep admiration for his nation. A passionate love for his wife Josephine. These would be cornerstones for an epic spanning continents and empires. At 26 he was a little-known artillery officer. By 36 he was Emperor of the French. Napoleon would end the revolution that brought him to power but lead France for over a decade, all through what would aptly be named the Napoleonic Wars.
