He committed a coup d'état in 1799 and had himself proclaimed Emperor of France in 1804. During his reign he managed to bring a large part of Europe under his authority. Malta had already been under French rule since 1798, but Napoleon Bonaparte later had an important role in this. He introduced, among other things, free education and freedom of the press.
