Napoleon the first

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 and died in 1821. He became an emperor in 1804.
One of his many ambitions was to build a colonial empire in North America so he persuaded Spain to sign « the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso » and he had his colonial empire in North America : Louisiana.

He didn’t play an important role in the expedition of Lewis and Clark.
