Despite his rich war-winning record, Napoleon's military career ended in defeat.

Napoleon has since been regarded as a military genius and one of the finest commanders in history.

He fought more than 80 battles, losing only ten, mostly towards the end when the French army was not as dominant.

He spent his remaining days in British custody on the remote volcanic tropical island of Saint Helena.

In his long military career, Bonaparte celebrated 70 victories and suffered 10 defeats.
