The Siege of Toulon

Napoleon Bonaparte first began to make a name for himself in this place called Toulon as the young Major of Artillery. He did this by spotting and ideal place for his guns and to set them up in a way that it would take over the city's harbor. Here, he expertly seized crucial forts and was able to attack the British naval and land forces which led them in to sailing away. The siege of this city happened on the 18th of September to the 18th of December 1793. After this siege was done, the Royal Navy ships (under Admiral Hood) were forced to withdrew and the resistance fell apart. As a result of this, Napoleon was made Commander of Artillery which brought him worldwide attention.

Battle of Montenotte

Apennine Mountains

This battle was the first of the series of great successes in Northern Italy that were established by Napoleon. This battle took place in Lombardy, which is in Northern Italy in the 12th of April, 1796. Napoleon was the head of 45,000 starving troops. Napoleon found himself and his army between a large Piedmontese (natives or inhabitants of Piedmont, Italy) army of 25,000 under General Baron Colli and an Austrian force of 35,00 under Jean Pierre Beaulieu. At the begining of Napoleon's Italian Campaign, his army stretched along the coast from Nice towards Genoa. The Apennine Mountians was between him and the other two armies. Napoleon hoped to use this sepereation to force a gap between the other armies, defeating them both. This battle went the exact way Napoleon wanted it to go. This battle was his first victory being a commander of an amry. From this it showed Napoleon's begining of his talents that would make him famous.

Egypt

The French wanted to "exert influence" over Egypt because of economic reasons, "a political need to weaken Britain, and the personal thing Napoleon needed. Napoleon also saw the benefits that the French to take in the profitable British colonies. France's Directory took hold of Napoleons' idea to invade Egypt. Napoleon raised and expeditionary force of just below 40,000. This included scientist, engineers, and veteran troops from the army of Italy. Napoleon and his expeditionary force arrived in Cairo on 21 July. They were impressed with the pyramids but unfortunately came across a large Arab and Mameluke army. After three days the French took over Cairo but the campaign was ruined by Admiral Nortia Nelson's defeat of the French Navy at Aboukir Bay. This cut of Napoleon's army’s supplies and they got defeated.

Battle of Arcola

The Battle of Arcola was a famous 3-day battle. This was during his defeat of the third Austrian attempt to raise the siege of Mantua- (the third phase of Napoleon's campaign in Italy in 1796-97). Napoleons grabbed a flag and personally lead an attack across the Arcola Bridge. Napoleon gambled everything on an attack on the one weak part of the Austrian position that was, their line of communication back to the east, which blocked any more help. However this was scary for Napoleon because his army was only 28,000 because thousands of his soldiers were sick and replacement was limited. This battle took place around as swampy land in the north of the junction of Alpone and Adige Rivers in the15th-7th of November 1796.

This allowed him to rule over 110,000 people.While in Elba, Napoleon had thoughts  that "turned to Paris". He went back to Paris, and due to the scarcity of his military marshals, he was forced to renounce his throne in April 1814.

St Helena

This was the second and last place that Napoleon got exiled. For the second time the European powers were not going to take any chances on Napoleon possibly coming back. That is why they sent him to this island because it was a "barren, wind-swept rock located in the South Atlantic Ocean." This place was half of his former home in exile in Elba Island. The home that he was suppose to stay in called Longwood wasn't finished by the time that he came. Because of that of that, he had to live with a British family called the Briars at their resident called Balcombes. Napoleon Bonaparte died there.
