Born in Ajaccio, Corsica, on August 15th, 1769, and into a family that was not of the highest ranking of nobles. When Napoleon’s father, names Charles Bonaparte was invited to Versailles to be part to the French government, Napoleon tagged along. Once there, he was suited in enrolling into military school. Sadly his father died in 1785, but it had made Napoleon head of the family at age 16. Napoleon’s mother, Laetitia Bonaparte had strongly wanted their family to be close and supportive of each other at all times. However in 1804, when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France, he at the same time, was also in a fight with his brother Lucien. Which had caused Napoleon’s mother to not show up at his Coronation. Now as Emperor of France, Napoleon had control over his country.
