Kent Ninomiya. On this day back in 1804 Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France. He crowned himself because he said there was no one on Earth worthy of crowning him. Most people remember Napoleon for being a funny looking french guy who stuck his hand in his shirt. However, Napoleon helped shape the map of Europe and his influence is seen today. Did you know there would be no Poland without Napoleon? He reformed the country that was carved up and absorbed by Germany, Russia and Prussia years before. If he had not done that where would Hitler have marched into to provoke the allies to go to war with him? Maybe WWII would never have happened or maybe something worse. Either way, Napoleon was important. Kent Ninomiya
