In 1807, Napoleon's armies had conquered almost the whole of Europe except England.

Napoleon set out for a war with Russia as the Russian Emperor did not seem to be helping him conquer England. In doing so, Napoleon lost thousands and more of his soldiers. The Russians by then had abandoned the city of Moscow. Napoleon then thought of returning to France. It was winter then and there was thick snow all over. The wounded soldiers died in the snow and some died of starvation. Thus the people of Europe defied Napoleon and he was defeated at a battle fought near Leipzig. In March 1814, English armies marched to Paris and took Napoleon prisoner.

The laws in France were not fair and favored only the rich. The poor were heavily taxed due to which they ended up starving. On 14th July 1789 the people of Paris revolted and attacked the famous prison of Bastille. Here the prisoners whom the king did not like were kept. Thus the people of France set up a republic and their cry was "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity".

Britain fought the French not only on land but also with a large fleet of ships which were commanded by a famous admiral called Nelson.

He attacked the enemy when they least expected and always kept some of his troops in reserve to fight the enemy when both sides were tired. Hence, he was victorious all over Europe. He thus became the hero of the French people and the terror of Europe.

Napoleon invited the Pope from Rome to crown him Emperor. He had also invited all the Governors of the provinces and the important people of Paris.
