Napoleon After The French Revolution

3.2~ The Reign of Terror was a point in time during the French Revolution in which Maximilien Robespierre attempted to live in “republic of virtue”, which didn’t end well for France. For instance, Robespierre ruled as a dictator in terms of remaining loyal to his duties. Also, another example would be his decisions which impacted his reputation along with his overall personality as a whole. First off foremost, Robespierre didn’t feel pity for his subjects and during the Reign of Terror, 40,000 people were killed for non-existent purposes. Furthermore, one person got executed due to the fact that he accidentally chopped off a tree which was quite significant to the empire, however, Robespierre was very careless and continued with his

After the debacle of the election of —— where Jefferson was finally voted President after the 32nd vote by the House of Representatives. Though the United States was a fairly new country, Jefferson was looking to expand the country, and therefore, hopefully, Republicanism. Unbeknownst to Jefferson at that juncture another man was looking to do the same for his country, France. Bonaparte had become the new leader in France, and was trying to find how to make the most money the fastest. He looked to Haiti, where France had grown their sugar empire and Bonaparte was looking to get the most out of their export by increasing the amount of sugar grown and exported. The solution was to find land that would allow France to grow food to provide to Haiti, while all of Haiti was used to grow sugar. They look to Spain, who had most of the land in the “New World”/North America and asked to purchase Louisiana from them. The King of Spain at the time beleived this to be a good deal, considering Spain did not have many people living in the area and thinking it would provide a buffer of sorts to protect the lands where they do have more people and resources (Texas westward and down into what would become Mexico). So he made the deal with Bonaparte and France acquired Louisiana. However, while that deal was being struck, Haiti was going through a Revolution, where educated free blacks who only make up 7 percent of the population worked with the slave population (making up 90 percent) to come together and oust Europeans. Despite great success in Europe, the French Army was no match to the Haitian rebels, and Bonaparte was losing control. At this time Jefferson had got news about what was happening and had sent two men to ask Bonaparte to sell them just one small area of Louisiana, New Orleans, for 10 million dollars. This came as a surprise to Bonaparte, who thought he had just lost it all with the purchase of this land. So he countered with a proposal of selling all of Louisiana for 15 million, and it was agreed upon.. Not everyone was so keen as to give Jefferson, or anyone from his Administartion any credit for gaining this massive amount of land in the Louisiana Purchase. Instead many criticized how the deal was struck,

In 1795, the Directory was busy with the war in western and southern Germany and had sent most of the French forces their to launch an offensive. The leaders of the Directory believed that Italy “was something of a sideshow”(Roberts 78) and gave Bonaparte command of some troops to fight in Italy. It was Bonaparte's first military campaign at age of 26 against Austrians and their allies the Italians. Unfortunately, when he arrived in Nice to command his troops, they were in a horrible condition. The weather was frigid and the men had no overcoats, no shoes, or clothes stolen from dead enemies. Unpaid and starving Napoleon had a daunting task to win over the troops who were muttering about mutiny (Roberts 78). Firing inefficient officers and

In 1804, when Napoleon proclaimed that he would become the Emperor of the young French Republic, he stated: ”The revolution is over …I am the revolution!” During this time Napoleon was thought of as a hero for the French, but became more powerful with each victory, becoming the new Alexander the Great in a different era. Napoleon became a Tyrant, becoming the enemy of the world around him. Those who resisted his rule were shot…Italians quickly turned against Napoleon and the ideals of Revolution he professed(shown in source 2). Strangely enough, Napoleons words were quickly forgotten by the Italians when they realized they got a new Dictator who ruled with an iron fist. In source 5, this displays the scorched-earth policy. Instead of aiding Napoleons troops with supplies the Soviets burned anything that would be useful, so that Napoleons armies would have to wait for supplies and stall for time and use up the French resources, in turn making it difficult to proceed to invade.

Amidst the latter half of the nineteenth century, the French Third Republic experienced an intense political and judicial scandal concerning the innocence of army captain Alfred Dreyfus, which ultimately brought the contending elements of French life into a massive collision and split French society into two irreconcilable factions. The Dreyfus Affair has often been viewed as marking a turning point in the history of the political landscape of France, in which many historians have highlighted the importance of the rise of anti-Semitism and its associated change in social attitudes towards the Jewish community. However, in spite of the impact of anti-Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair, we must acknowledge the growing division in the French attitude

Napoleon had already been marked as a prominent pig because he had a reputation of getting things his own way. By being active in the debates, he received much attention and notice from the animals. He also garnered support from those who agreed with his views but were unable to express themselves. Thus, he became a representative of these animals.

On this issue, I would get the hell advocate side tell argued that luck had nothing to do with it than just you are just happen to be a promising overall in a time of uncertainty and revolution as the revolution failed Napoleon He took the opportunity to establish by force his own rule and operated and quickly spread nationalist propaganda and operated French people ate just when I thought then did many military reforms built the French army went to war and won and while he was winning the people of France due to French pride and hatred of its European neighbors continued to cheer. Napoleon's luck ran out when he was tactically skilful by the Russians deliberately let Napoleon won battles for him and his army would starve in central Russia

From 1789 to 1799, France saw its bloodiest and most violent time in its history. The people of France were fed up with the living conditions of their society and the requirements that their government continued to pile onto them. An unsatisfied society, more often than not, will lead a revolt of some kind, at some point. This period in history saw rise to power the infamous Napoleon Bonaparte, with his many trials and tribulations. Napoleon Bonaparte and his controlling and overpowering tactics both advanced the ideals of the French Revolution.

The French desired a representative government, but Napoleon truly believed that the French needed some sort of monarchy. So Napoleon decided to bring forth a monarchy that would be more efficient, and more powerful than any other Monarchy created in the “Ancien Regime”. So with this, he decided to completely undermine the French, everything they fought for in the early Revolution, would be torn to pieces, and the Equality that they wished upon would no longer be. So do I think Napoleon brought forth Enlightenment, no I don’t. I am sure the French were disappointed by this.

In France, after the rule of the Carolingian kings, a duke named Hugh Carpet took over. By following the regulations enforced prior to his leadership in the hierarchy, Hugh made it impossible for Jews to question authority, such as bishops and lords. Therefore, the social status of the Jews in France was not amicable, because they were given little independence to live freely without being tempted with possible consequences. The Jews not only had little power in regards to authority, but they were struggling economically due to the lords of France extracting wealth from the Jews (60). The extraction of wealth from Jews ultimately leads to poor Jewish communities in relation to other religious groups within French territory. One of the greatest

Napoleon is mostly studied or recognized by his military expertise. His relationship with the people and Paris are excluded from his legacy. One historian in particular recognizes Napoleon’s successful correlation with Paris, French historian Maurice Gurrini. Guerrini’s book, Napoleon and Paris: Thirty Years of History, examines the link between Napoleon and the city. His book was originally published in French in 1967 by Tequi Editeur, in Paris.

In conclusion, I think Napoleon did both good and bad things for France, but the bad things overweigh what he actually did to help France. Napoleon was a conqueror who's focus was mostly on his military conquests. He turned most of Europe against France, took many basic liberties away from his people, and used many of France’s resources to improve the

Scott and Chuck went to the store, and he said he forgot his wallet. If Bill and Ted went back in time and talked to Napoleon who was cruel and ruthless but also loved the idea of romance. We can't reproduce the result you expect, because the explosion was a one-time event. It walks. Singing songs about the difficulties of unfair labor practices, and falling behind on rent and other bills because the paychecks are too small.

Napoleon Bonaparte said it best. A transformational leader has the uncanny ability to inspire his fellows to perform at their best. A transformational leader, is essentially a motivator. Through his actions, charisma and passion, the potential of the team becomes kinetic by the energy he or she exudes. The best leaders will never lead you in to a situation that they would not lead themselves to. However, these motivators will escort you through adversity that may seem impossible to overcome. transformational leaders wish for their colleagues to see the big picture as they do. A transformational leader takes the initiative and extra time to examine the strengths and weaknesses of his colleagues. Taking on a mentor role, the transformational

Although Napoleon faced several struggles while rising to power, he was eventually able to achieve military status and better the French government during his reign as the leader of France. Bonaparte was a bold and ambitious leader who worked diligently at a young age to gain the positions that he held. Life for Napoleon was never easy while he was growing up, ruling France, or being defeated by the European powers.
