Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Napoleon was crowned Emperor of the French on Sunday, December 2, 1804 (11 Frimaire, Year XIII according to the French Republican calendar), at Notre-Dame de Paris in Paris. It marked “the instantiation of [the] modern empire” and was a “transparently masterminded piece of modern propaganda".

Detailed explanation-2: -After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d’état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804.

Detailed explanation-3: -Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a Corsican who became ruler of France from 1799 until his downfall in 1814. He gained control amid the chaos of the revolutionary wars, offering the prospect of military glory and internal stability, both of which he initially achieved.

Detailed explanation-4: -By crowning himself, Napoleon symbolically showed that he would not be controlled by Rome or submit to any power other than himself. This was very important, both as a show of strength to reassure his allies and to quell any potential uprisings or anarchy by proclaiming himself the highest authority in France.
