The correct answer is Napoleon.

• In 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of France. 
• He was the first emperor of France (1804–14/15).
• He set out to conquer neighbouring European countries, dispossessing dynasties and creating kingdoms where he placed members of his family.
• Napoleon saw his role as a moderniser of Europe. He introduced many laws such as the protection of private property and a uniform system of weights and measures provided by the decimal system.
• He was finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815. 
• Many of his measures that carried the revolutionary ideas of liberty and modern laws to other parts of Europe had an impact on people long after Napoleon had left.
