The infamous ruler Napoleon Bonaparte ruled during the First French Empire in the 19th century. This empire is also known as the Greater French Empire and the Napoleonic Empire, and at its peak, it ruled 44 million people and had a military presence in Germany, Italy, Spain and the Duchy of Warsaw.

This continued until Bonaparte’s fall at the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon is also that three-flavored ice cream with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
