  Napoleon III of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Napoléon III, Emperor of the French (Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte) (20 April 1808 9 January 1873) was President of France from 1849 to 1852, and then Emperor of the French under the name Napoléon III from 1852 to 1870.
This war proved disastrous for France, and was instrumental in giving birth to the German Empire, which took France's place as the major land power on the continent of Europe.
Napoléon III also directed the building of the French railway network, which greatly contributed to the development of the coal mining and steel industry in France, radically changing the nature of the French economy, which entered the modern age of large-scale capitalism.

 napoleon iii of france - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
He was elected President (December 20, 1848- December 2, 1852) of the Second Republic of France and subsequently accepted the title of the Emperor (December 2, 1852- September 4, 1870), reigning as Napolon III (Second French Empire).
In a situation that resembles the case of Louis XVIII of France, the numbering of Napolon's reign assumes the existence of a legitimate Napolon II of France who never actually ruled, but was briefly recognized as emperor from June 22, 1815 to July 7, 1815.
In the beginning of the 1860s, the objectives of the emperor in foreign policy had been met: France had scored several military victories in Europe and abroad, the humiliation of Waterloo had been exorcised, and France was regarded again as the largest military power in Europe.

 Religion in Napoleonic France
In regards to the conditions of religious minorities, Napoleon I worked to authoritatively dominate priests of all faiths, while integrating Jewish and Protestant religious life into his totalitarian social structure.
  The memory of that revolutionary project, followed by Napoleon I’s legal recognition of Judaism as a religious community in 1805 and his establishment of the Grand Sanhedrin of European rabbis in 1807, caused French Jewry under Napoleon I to publicly declare their civic support of him.
Although never reaching a position above the various religious groups along the lines of his illustrious uncle, Napoleon III certainly did not ignore the conditions of religious minorities.  Though Catholicism still dominated religious life in France, even groups such as the Jansenists still elicited support from periodicals that defended this once significant and contentious sect.
