Bonaparte
French imperial dynasty
Bonaparte is a surname, most famously associated with Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader who became Emperor and dominated European politics in the early 19th century.
The name often appears alone as shorthand for Napoleon himself: Bonaparte's invasion of Russia proved disastrous.
Bonapartism refers to authoritarian nationalism modeled on his rule, or support for his dynasty's claims to power.
