During his lifetime, Davout's name was commonly spelled Davoustwhich is how it appears on the Arc de Triomphe and in much of the correspondence between Napoleon and his generals. He was chef de bataillon in a volunteer corps in the campaign ofand distinguished himself at the Battle of Neerwinden the following spring. He had just been promoted to general of brigade when he was removed from the active list because of his noble birth. He nevertheless served in the campaigns of on the Rhineand accompanied General Louis Desaix in the Egyptian expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte. On his return he did not take part in the Battle of Marengowhere his friend Desaix was killed while making a decisive contribution to the victory. At the accession of Napoleon as emperor inDavout was named as one of the original 18 Marshals of the Empire. Davout was the youngest and least experienced of the generals promoted to marshal, which earned him the hostility of other generals throughout his career. At the Battle of Austerlitzfollowing a forced march of 48 hours, the III Corps bore the brunt of the allies' attack. Davout added to his renown in the battles of Eylau and Friedland. Davout was entrusted by Napoleon with the task of organizing the "corps of observation of the Elbe", which would become the gigantic army with which Napoleon invaded Russia in In this, he commanded the I Corpsnumbering over 70, and defeated the Russians at Mohilev before he joined the main army, with which he continued throughout the campaign and the retreat from Moscow. His inability to hold out at Krasny until the arrival of Ney and his corps led him into disgrace and he would not meet with the emperor again until his return The Iron Marshal Elba. InDavout commanded the Hamburg military district, and defended Hamburg, a poorly fortified and provisioned city, through a long siegeonly surrendering on direct order by King Louis XVIIIwho had come to the throne after Napoleon's abdication in April Davout's military character has been interpreted as cruel and he had to defend himself against many attacks upon his conduct at Hamburg. He was a stern disciplinarian, who exacted rigid and precise obedience from his troops, and consequently his corps was more trustworthy and exact in the performance of its duty than any other. For example, Davout forbade his troops from plundering enemy villages, a policy he would enforce by the use of the death penalty. He was The Iron Marshal by his contemporaries as one of the ablest of Napoleon's marshals. Upon the first restoration of the Bourbon monarchyhe retired into private life, openly displaying his hostility to the Bourbonsand when Napoleon returned from Elba, Davout rejoined The Iron Marshal. Appointed Minister of War, he reorganized the French Army insofar as time permitted, and he was so indispensable to the war department that Napoleon kept him in Paris during the Waterloo campaign. To what degree his skill and bravery The Iron Marshal have altered the fortunes The Iron Marshal the campaign of can only be surmised, but Napoleon has been criticized for his failure to avail himself in the field of the services of the best general he then possessed. Davout directed the The Iron Marshal, but hopeless, defence of Paris after Waterloo. Napoleon received him coldly but left Paris the next day and resided at Malmaison until 29 June when he departed for Rochfort. He has a wife and children; he thought that all was lost; he wanted to keep what he had got, " [12] while on another occasion he remarked that, "I thought that Davout loved me, but he loved only France. He was deprived of his marshalate and his titles upon the second restoration. When some of his subordinate generals were proscribed, he demanded The Iron Marshal be The Iron Marshal responsible for their acts, as executed The Iron Marshal his orders, and he endeavoured to prevent the condemnation of Ney. After a time, the hostility of the Bourbons towards Davout faded and he became reconciled to the monarchy. Inhis rank and titles were restored and inhe became a member of the Chamber of Peers. InDavout was elected mayor of Savigny-sur-Orgea position he held for a year. A main square bears their name in the city, as does a boulevard in Paris. Davout died on June 1, Davout held the following honours and awards: [17]. Davout was known as a methodical person in both military and personal affairs. Within the army and among his social peers, he was often considered cold and distant; while respected, he was not well-liked. During times of peace, he preferred to spend The Iron Marshal with his family and care for his home, rather than cultivate his high social standing. Perhaps his fiercest anger was directed towards Bernadotte, who failed to come to his aid at Auerstadt, though close enough to observe the smoke and hear the cannon fire. Bernadotte was eventually sent back to Paris in disgrace after being caught by Napoleon retreating without orders at the battle of Wagram. Bernadotte then caught the eye of the Swedish ambassador, looking for a well-connected French officer to take on the role of heir to the Swedish throne. When Sweden threw in her lot against Napoleon in the War of the Sixth CoalitionDavout personally asked to be placed opposite Bernadotte's contingent, in order to gain retribution for the latter's betrayal. The Iron Marshal with Davout assigned to defend Hamburg which he did, up to and beyond Napoleon's abdicationthey never did face each The Iron Marshal in battle. Their marriage was loving and, most notably, the couple seem to have been faithful to each other despite very long periods of separation.

Abstract The French Revolution of 1789 was instrumental in the emergence and growth of modern nationalism, the idea that a state should represent, and serve the interests of, a people, or "nation," that shares a common culture and history and feels as one. But national ideas, often with their source in the otherwise cosmopolitan world of the Enlightenment, were also an important cause of the Revolution itself. The rhetoric and documents of the Revolution demonstrate the importance of national ideas.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • The Iron Marshal: a Biography of Louis N
    The Napoleon Series Reviews Gallagher, John G. The Iron Marshal: A Biography of Louis N. Davout. Havertown (UK): Frontline, 2018. 432 pages. ISBN# 9781526738325. Hardcover $39.95/£19.99 This is a new edition of the classic work first published in 1976. In a new preface written in 2000 the author explains that he has not rewritten it since nothing published in the interval has made this necessary, this may well be the case, but (to get minor criticism out of the way at the beginning) it is a pity the new work was not subjected to more rigorous proof reading: apart from minor typos there are peculiarities such as referring to General Bourriene, three different spellings of Beurnonville in one chapter and the mystifying condition affecting Napoleon at Borodino, 'uroedemo'. Whether these were present in the first edition I do not know: if they were, they should have been pointed out and corrected sometime in the intervening 25 years. This is a full-scale biography beginning with Louis Nicolas Davout's aristocratic ancestry and ending with his funeral; each episode of his life is covered in detail and supported by references. A considerable amount of political and general historical narrative is supplied to provide the background to Davout's career, which is considerate to any reader previously unfamiliar with Napoleonic history. Inevitably the central portion of his life is an account of Napoleon's campaigns since he played such a significant part in them but they are viewed from a slightly different angle to the standard Napoleon-centred narratives, which adds an extra dimension: not surprisingly, this is most noticeable in the Jena-Auerstädt chapter.

New history. We understand the new history generally in the same way as the representatives of Marxist history. It is a history of establishment of new social-economic formation – capitalism, which, in difference to the previous formations, uses the economic impelling and the big machine production. The most important classes are bourgeoisie and hired workers, in the last time the number of the employees in the sphere of service increases. The peasants decrease in number, the movement of peasants into towns takes place; the remaining peasants become the independent farmers, who are involved into the ware and money economy. In the political sphere it is an epoch of establishment of the republican system, which is profitable first of all for the bourgeoisie, with the time the political rights and liberties are extended for all the population. In the spiritual plan it is an epoch of the upper mental, or causal (later lower intuitive) plan, the humans discover the laws of development of the world and man, the traditional explanations of religion already do not suffice. The time of the swift development of technique (Satan was loosed out of his prison, according to Revelation 20.7), which causes finally the global ecological problems.

  • Eugene Miakinkov
    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

  • Training to Fight – Russia's Major Military Exercises 2011–2014
    “Train hard, fi ght easy.” The Russian 18th century General Aleksandr Norberg Johan toFight Training Vasilievich Suvorov (see cover) is said to never have lost a battle. The main idea of his dictum is clear. Armed forces train to fi ght. The more they train, the better they get. Exercises are primarily a way to develop capabilities in units, build the fi ghting power of a force and, ultimately, the military power of the state. How did military exercises contribute to the fi ghting power of Russia’s Armed Forces in 2011 – 2014? Based on reporting in Russian open sources, the main conclusion in this report is that the Russian Armed Forces exercises enabled them to train how to launch and fi ght large-scale joint inter-service operations, i.e. launching and waging inter-state wars Training to Fight – Russia’s Major Military Exercises 2011–2014 Johan Norberg FOI-R--4128--SE ISSN1650-1942 www.foi.se December 2015 Johan Norberg Training to Fight – Russia’s Major Military Exercises 2011–2014 Press Bild/Cover: TT/The Art Collector/Heritage.
