Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947)
was an American gangster who led a Prohibition-era crime syndicate.
Known as the "Capons", the group was dedicated to smuggling and
bootlegging liquor, and other illegal activities such as prostitution, in
Chicago from the early 1920s to 1931.
Born in Brooklyn, New York to Italian immigrants, Capone became
involved with gang activity at a young age after being expelled from
school at age 14. In his early twenties, he moved to Chicago to take
advantage of a new opportunity to make money smuggling illegal
alcoholic beverages into the city during Prohibition. He also engaged in
various other criminal activities, including bribery of government
figures and prostitution. Despite his illegitimate occupation, Capone
became a highly visible public figure. He made various charitable
endeavors using the money he made from his activities, and was
viewed by many to be a "modern-day Robin Hood".
Napoleon Bonaparte Napoléon Bonaparte ; 15 August 1769 – 5 May
1821) was a military and political leader during the latter stages of the
French Revolution. As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from
1804 to 1815. His legal reform, the Napoleonic code, has been a major
influence on many civil law jurisdictions worldwide, but he is best
remembered for the wars he led against a series of coalitions, the socalled Napoleonic Wars, during which he established hegemony over
much of Europe and sought to spread revolutionary ideals.
Napoleon was born in Corsica to parents of noble Italian ancestry and
trained as an artillery officer in mainland France. Bonaparte rose to
prominence under the French First Republic and led successful
campaigns against the First and Second Coalitions arrayed against
France. In 1799, he staged a coup d'état and installed himself as First
Consul; five years later the French Senate proclaimed him emperor. In
the first decade of the 19th century, the French Empire under
Napoleon engaged in a series of conflicts—the Napoleonic Wars—
involving every major European power. After a streak of victories,
France secured a dominant position in continental Europe, and
Napoleon maintained the French sphere of influence through the
formation of extensive alliances and the appointment of friends and
family members to rule other European countries as French client
states. Napoleon's campaigns are studied at military academies
throughout much of the world.
