In 1814, the coalition invaded France. Napoleon tried to take advantage of the distance between the armies approaching Paris by picking them off one by one, but was eventually outnumbered. Napoleon gave up his rule and was exiled to the island of Elba, and giving small amounts of governmental power there. Louis XVII took the crown of France. Aware of the French peoples dissatisfaction with Louis XVII's rule, Napoleon returned to France in 1815.
But by 1799, the dishonesty of the Directory along with the dwindling war effort against the Second Coalition left the government open for assaults. Napoleon was put in control of the military on November 9, 1799. The next day, he and his military took control by overtaking the government, which then decided to end the Directory. The Directory was swapped with three consuls, and Napoleon was elected First Consul. With the government in disorder, Napoleon launched a successful coup d’ et... ... middle of paper ... ...

In the early 19th century a man by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte led a Coup D’etat that created a new government in France. This new government started out with a tribunal leadership, which Napoleon was first consul, and later changed to an empire with Napoleon as emperor. Some people believe that he made the revolution better and expanded the revolution but this is not true. The facts, when closely looked at, prove that Napoleon effectively destroyed the revolution by telling the people of his country one thing while he was actually planning on doing something totally different. He deceived people so well that he is still convincing people today that he was a defender of the revolution.
From 1805 to 1808 Napoleon fought in battles that left only Great Britain out of his control. He began to run into problems trying to capture Great Britain. Trying to destroy the British economy Napoleon put his Continental system into place, which was a plan to cut off British sea trade. The British Navy was superior and Napoleon lost. This is said to be the start of his downfall.
One example of this can be found in the government established by Napoleon because although the French Revolution pushed for a government with distributed power, Napoleon used a dictatorship. At the same time, Napoleon’s religious and social policies or reforms were contradictory to the ideas of the revolution. However, the revolutions primary economic tenet of laissez faire was completely changed by Napoleon because he instituted the Continental system, which destroyed ports throughout all of Europe. Finally, Napoleon rose to power in France and he had instituted policies and reforms as dictator, which had been completely different from the ideas of the French Revolution. Therefore Napoleon was not a child of the revolution, which can first be seen in his establishment of a dictatorship, while the French Revolution had pushed for a government with distributed power.
The population of France had changed quite a bit since 1614. The people that were not aristocratic members of the Third Estate represented ninety-eight percent of the people, but still were able to be outvoted by the other two bodies. Leading up to the meeting on May 5th, the Third Estate started to mobilize for support for equal representation and the abolishment of the noble veto, in other words, they wanted voting by head not by the status. All the orders shared common desires for fiscal and judicial reform as well as more representation in the form of government, the nobles started to get upset that they would be giv... ... middle of paper ... ...er 3, 1791 France adopted its first written constitution. The compromise that was made did not sit well with the influential radicals like Maximilien de Robespierrse, Camille Desmoulins and Georges Danton.
Napoleon then launched a successful campaign in Italy, but failed in Egypt due to Napoleon’s recall to France. In France, he formed the first Consul which is a constitutional dictatorship which put him in power which he used to negotiate peace. During the newfound peace in Europe, Napoleon undertook reforms in the economy, the legal system, and the education system. The Code Napoleon was instituted and was an important factor in the political future of Europe because of its highly influential ideas such as rule of law. In 1804, he proclaimed himself the emperor of France and created the formidable Grande Armee intimidating other European powers such as Austria, Britain and Russia to the point of hostility.
Battle for Quebec 9. Treaties Senecas and Paris The Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 helped bring about the demise of the aristocratic Federalist Government in favor of the democratic Republican Government, concerned with the needs of all of its citizens. The new country of the United States of America suffered many growing pains in trying to balance its commitment to liberty with the need for order. How much control is enough and what will be too much? After the Revolutionary War, the country purposely did not have a strong central government (that's what we fought against with the British).
At the conclusion of the French Revolution, King Louis XVI and absolutist monarchy would be found headless, Republicanism would be found instilled into the government of France, and, soon after, the French people would be under not a king but an emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Lastly during the battle of Trafalgar, Nelson’s new tactics made archaic tactics of rigid lines useless.

The Napoleonic Wars began when Napoleon rose to power by the ending of the French Revolutionary Wars. This marked the downfall of the French monarchy and the rise of Napoleon. Other European countries, suspicious of their non-monarchical neighbor ruled by Napoleon, declared war against him.
