Answer:

Napolean crowned himself emperor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Napolean Bonaparte's coronation in 1804 is ironic since he declared himself Emperor. Napoleon Bonaparte was France's first emperor and considered one of the country's finest military leaders. Napoleon was recognized as a military genius because he won several wars for France, allowing the country to expand. Despite his military background, Napolean crowned himself Emperor and declared that he would not be ruled by the Romans or submit to any force other than himself. As a result, the Crowning of 1804 is ironic because he crowned himself Emperor.
