Napoleon III

Nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, elected president of the French Second Republic and later self-proclaimed emperor in 1852, Napoleon III modernized Paris through Haussmann's urban renewal, promoted industrialization and free trade, but led France into disaster in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, which ended his reign.
