Background

Born the second child of eight in the town of Ajaccio on Corsica, France to Attorney Carlo Buonaparte and Maria Letizia Ramolino. The family, formerly known as Buonaparte, were minor Italian nobility coming from Tuscan stock of Lombard origin. His father was for a time the representative of Corsica to the court of Louis XVI from 1778 for several years.

On 15 May 1779, at age nine, Napoleon was admitted to a French military school at Brienne-le-Château. At Brienne, Bonaparte first met the Champagne maker Jean-Remy Moët. Upon graduation in 1784, Bonaparte was admitted to the elite École Royale Militaire (Military college) in Paris. Upon graduation in September 1785, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in La Fère artillery regiment and took up his new duties in January 1786 at the age of 16.

Napoleon served on garrison duty in Valence and Auxonne until after the outbreak of the Revolution in 1789. During the complete breakdown in social order, Napoleon returned to Corsica. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonial of a regiment of Jacobin volunteers, but fled Corsica with his family in June 1793 after coming into conflict with Pasquale Paoli for denouncing him as a traitor.

It was during these events that he obtained the patronage and protection of all powerful Corsican Antoine Christophe Saliceti. Saliceti appoirted him commander of the French forces beseigning Toulon. While injured, he succeeded in recapturing the city and was promoted to Brigadier General.

Saliceti then introduced him to the leaders of the revolution in Paris and he became a close associate of Augustin Robespierre, brother of Maximilien Robespierre. When the Robespierre's were finally ousted, Napoleon was briefly imprisoned in 1794 for two weeks, but again saved by Saliceti.

In 1795, whilst serving in Paris, Napoleon succeeded in crushing a rebellion of royalists and counter-revolutionaries and was promoted by the new regime leader Paul François Jean Nicolas, vicomte de Barras (Paul Barras). After his marriage to Josephine de Beauharnais, Napoleon was given command of the French Army of Italy in March 1796 and ordered to invade Italy, specifically to capture the Pope in Rome. Pope Pius VI later died from "illness" in captivity.

Next in 1797, Napoleon led his army into Austria and forced the Austrians to sign the Treaty of Campo Formio giving most of northern Italy including the Low Countries and the Rhineland to France. Napoleon then marched on Venice and forced its surrender after 1,000 years as an independent state.

In that same year, Napoleon sent General Augereau to Paris to crush the royalist party which now made Paul Barras hold on power totally dependent upon Napoleon.

In 1798, Napoleon invaded Egypt, then a province of the Ottoman Empire and a major trade access for the British to India. During the same expedition, Napoleon seized Malta from the Knights of St. John. By early 1799, in spite of losing Naval support thanks to British Admiral Nelson, Napoleon marched and captured Syria and Northern Israel, defeating the numerical superior Ottoman forces.

However, hampered by poor supplies and lack of reinforcements, he was forced to retreat his army back to Egypt under the command of General Kléber while Napoleon returned to France in 1799.
