Napoleon Bonaparte was a significant person from the past because of two main reasons. Firstly, he became the Emperor of France and secondly, he conquered most of Europe. Historian Ken Webb states that Napoleon became influential through his leadership and control of the French army. As a general, Napoleon used the French army to his advantage. He was able to achieve control of the French government and country through the use of fear and force. As a result, the causes of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe have been attributed to his desire for power of all of Europe. The effect of Napoleon Bonaparte was evident in two ways. Firstly, Europe was plunged into war and secondly, the French had at one point invaded almost every country in Europe. Historian Peter Smith states that due to Europe being at War for many years inventions were made, such as improvements in Surgery and Medicine. Furthermore, because the French were throughout Europe, their language, customs and culture spread too. As a result, many cities and countries around Europe and the Mediterranean speak French, like French foods and enjoy French customs.
