Promoted to brigadier general in 1794, Napoleon was in command of the artillery in the Italian army and after only two years he obtained the supreme command of the "Italian Campaign". Revealing himself here as a great leader and a skilled negotiator, he stumbled upon the "Egyptian Campaign" against the English power. With the coup d’état (1799) he acquired more and more prestige and consent and, having been appointed First Consul, with dictatorial powers, in a short time he managed to be crowned Emperor and King of the French in 1804, also assuming the title, the following year, of King of Italy. Coalitions against Napoleon began to be numerous: concern about the growing French power grew more and more. However, the "Russian Campaign" was disastrous due to the tenacity of the Tsar, which succeeded in making Napoleon's allies converge on Paris: he was forced to abdicate, renouncing for himself and his children the thrones of France and of Italy and to accept exile on the Island of Elba. However, this prodigious star did not end his days here, but in Sant ‘Elena, where he was exiled and deported, after having tried, in vain, to put his strength and his fame, which has now definitively waned, into play.
