Napoleon Bonaparte was the Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814, and he was the first major military and political leader to emerge after the French Revolution. Historians describe his basic personality as that of an imposing character with a strong will and remarkable intelligence. He was viewed as both inspirational and lucky by his contemporaries.

His personal charisma, no doubt about it. Napoleon, despite being physically unimpressive (he was about 5 feet 6 inches, not tall but certainly not very short in the 18th century) had a magnetism about him. There was just something about him that sent men willing to their deaths.

Wellington once remarked that Napoleon was worth 40,000 men.
