Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d'état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804. Shrewd, ambitious and a skilled military strategist, Napoleon successfully waged war against various coalitions of European nations and expanded his empire. However, after a disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon abdicated the throne two years later and was exiled to the island of Elba. In 1815, he briefly returned to power in his Hundred Days campaign. After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he abdicated once again and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, where he died at 51.

There were so few people left it hardly qualified to be called a state. In March 1931, Nevada legalized gambling in their desperate move to raise revenues. Also in that month, construction of the Hoover Dam began. This sure and steady supply of water and cheap electricity sent flocks of people back to Nevada. With the advent of World War II, the United States built their military bases in the West and Southern Nevada was a suitable venue. 1,000 homes were built by the federal government to house a workforce of 10,000 for a magnesium processing plant. After the war, resort hotels began to crop up across the Southern Nevadan desert. The interstate system made travelling to Nevada easy. After the creation of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the state started to attract legitimate investors. Nevada was one of the greatest economic success stories in the 20th century.
