Napoleon Bonaparte's early career was a transformative journey from a Corsican nationalist to a celebrated French military officer. Born in 1769, he initially supported his homeland's independence but, after attending military schools in mainland France, he embraced the ideals of the French Revolution. His strategic genius was first recognized during the Siege of Toulon in 1793, where his innovative use of artillery led to a decisive victory over British and Royalist forces. This success earned him a rapid promotion to brigadier general at the age of 24, signaling the beginning of his remarkable rise to power. His family's subsequent flight from Corsica and change of name to "Bonaparte" marked a definitive break from his nationalist past and full commitment to France.
