Summary - Napoleon Bonaparte was a powerful force in Europe from 1799 to 1815. He rose from the ranks of the French army to become the emperor of France. By 1812 he had control of most of Europe. Unfortunately, he met his demise when he attempted to invade Russia. His downfall was almost as swift as his rise to power.
Answer: Napoleon was a power crazed leader who only looked out for himself, not his country of France. He lied to his country in two ways. One saying that the people in the country had a say in the government, when in fact he had all control. Also he never seemed to mention his losses, only his victories, making him sound like an amazing military leader. Napoleon was so greedy that he wanted to take over Russia even if it meant losing thousands of his men, which is what happened. In the end he lost everything, forcing France and the other parts of Europe to rebuild themselves

There was a high demand for the new inventions, so many people worked on making these for people, instead of making everything by themselves.
