In countries that Napoleon Bonapartes Consulate and French Empire conquered during the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon emancipated the Jews and introduced other ideas of liberty. Napoleon overrode old laws restricting Jews to ghettos and forcing them to wear badges identifying them as Jewish.In Malta, Napoleon ended the enslavement of Jews and permitted the construction of synagogues. He also lifted laws across Europe that limited Jews rights to property, worship, and certain occupations.
Also, Henri de Rottembourg was the only Jewish general in any nation during the Napoleonic era. The son of a baker, he rose through the ranks and attained the rank of General of Division in 1813. Napoleon made him a Baron of the Empire, had his name inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe, and granted him the Legion of Honor.
