## Step 1<br />The problem is a multiple-choice question about the actions of Napoleon during peacetime. The options A, B, and C are all actions that Napoleon took during peacetime. He set up government-run public schools, established a comprehensive system of laws, and established a fairer tax code.<br />## Step 2<br />Option D, "He took control of Great Britain," is not an action that Napoleon took during peacetime. This is because Great Britain was a long-standing adversary of Napoleon and was never under his control.<br />## Step 3<br />Therefore, the correct answer is D.
