He was the son of Napoleon III, who founded the French Empire Second French Empire with a coup in 1851. Napoleon IV was the fourth in the line of the Bonaparte dynasty, and the last to rule France.

Napoleon IV was somewhat popular in the Empire, known for his various reforms, as well as his drive to help France become one of the greatest powers on Earth. He saw the continued growth of the French Navy, which was becoming on par with the British Royal Navy, and whose military force was becoming increasingly powerful. He also continued the task of growing France into a colonial Empire, with colonies across the globe.

Napoleon's drive was ultimately his downfall, in that his influence in an international crisis over the sovereignty of Morocco arguably caused the Great War Great European War. In the final moments of the war, in 1909, Napoleon was overthrown by republican forces, arrested, and forced to flee to Italy to safety, where he lived the rest of his life.
