Short of stature—he stood five feet two inches tall, petite even for that time period—Napoleon Bonaparte was in every other way a giant. He was one of the greatest military strategists of all time. His Napoleonic Code revolutionized the legal world. He was a master of the use of propaganda. He brought liberal reforms to the lands he conquered, especially the regions of the Low Countries, Switzerland, and parts of modern Italy and Germany. He implemented many liberal policies in France and Western Europe. His name is attached to everything from legal codes, ships, places, and psychological complexes to pastries. As a result of his actions, the Holy Roman Empire collapsed, setting the stage for the unification of Germany; the countries of Latin America achieved independence from Spain; the United Space expanded into the French territory of Louisiana; and the map of Europe was forever changed. He is indisputably one of the most famous and most influential men to ever live. COA included.
