  • The Treaty of Lunéville J. David Markham When Napoleon Became
    The Treaty of Lunéville J. David Markham When Napoleon became First Consul in 1799, his first order of business was to defend France against the so-called Second Coalition. This coalition was made up of a number of smaller countries led by Austria, Russia and Britain. The Austrians had armies in Germany and in Piedmont, Italy. Napoleon sent General Jean Moreau to Germany while he, Napoleon, marched through Switzerland to Milan and then further south, toward Alessandria. As Napoleon, as First Consul, was not technically able to lead an army, the French were technically under the command of General Louis Alexandre Berthier. There, on 14 June 1800, the French defeated the Austrian army led by General Michael von Melas. This victory, coupled with Moreau’s success in Germany, lead to a general peace negotiation resulting in the Treaty of Lunéville (named after the town in France where the treaty was signed by Count Ludwig von Cobenzl for Austria and Joseph Bonaparte for Austria. The treaty secured France’s borders on the left bank of the Rhine River and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. France ceded territory and fortresses on the right bank, and various republics were guaranteed their independence.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY THE PURPOSE AND FALL OF THE NAPOLEONIC EMPIRE IN THE LOW COUNTRIES AND ITALY NICHOLAS F. BORSUK-WOOMAN Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in History and Economics with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sylvia Neely Associate Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Catherine Wanner Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT The Purpose and Fall of the Napoleonic Empire in the Low Countries and Italy investigates Napoleon’s aims for the Empire and the reasons for its final demise in the Low Countries and Italy. This work will examine these two aspects in Belgium, the Netherlands, Northern Italy, and Naples. First, I scrutinize Stuart’s Woolf’s thesis that Napoleon attempted to integrate Europe in order to create a single-European state that benefitted the entire continent. I attack his thesis by referring to Paul Schroeder’s argument that Napoleon viewed Europe as colonies that were meant to benefit France. Many of those European colonies benefitted from Napoleon’s colonization, Belgium, Piedmont, and the Kingdom of Italy, while others suffered under his demands, especially the Netherlands and Naples. The underlying theme was the institutions Napoleon implanted into these areas in order to extract their resources. The second argument assaults the view that nationalism was the cause of the fall of the Empire. Through analyzing the Low Countries and Italy, I demonstrate that entrenched political factions existed, separated on financial and economic issues, conscription, and religion.

When he had completed his studies there in 1781 he went on to École Militaire in Paris. governments As an officer of the French army, Napoleon served under different governments. In 1785, at the beginning of his career, he actually served in the royal army as a second lieutenant; in 1792 he was promoted to captain and served under the National Assembly; then, in 1793, he answered to the National Convention; finally, from 1795 to 1799, he obeyed orders issued by the Directory. disgraceful peace treaty Although not being officially authorised to conclude treaties without consulting the Directory first, Napoleon drafted and signed the Treaty of Campo Formio which gave France control of northern Italy. coup d’etat Staatsstreich Code Civil Originally referred to as Code civil des Français.

  • Napoleon Bonaparte: His Successes and Failures
    ISSN 2414-8385 (Online) European Journal of September-December 2017 ISSN 2414-8377 (Print Multidisciplinary Studies Volume 2, Issue 7 Napoleon Bonaparte: His Successes and Failures Zakia Sultana Assist. Prof., School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, University of Information Technology and Sciences (UITS), Baridhara, Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), also known as Napoleon I, was a French military leader and emperor who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d’état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804. Shrewd, ambitious and a skilled military strategist, Napoleon successfully waged war against various coalitions of European nations and expanded his empire. However, after a disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon abdicated the throne two years later and was exiled to the island of Elba. In 1815, he briefly returned to power in his Hundred Days campaign. After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he abdicated once again and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, where he died at 51.Napoleon was responsible for spreading the values of the French Revolution to other countries, especially in legal reform and the abolition of serfdom. After the fall of Napoleon, not only was the Napoleonic Code retained by conquered countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, parts of Italy and Germany, but has been used as the basis of certain parts of law outside Europe including the Dominican Republic, the US state of Louisiana and the Canadian province of Quebec.

  • The Case of Napoleon Bonaparte Reflections on the Bicentenary of His Death
    Working Paper 2021/18/TOM History Lessons: The Case of Napoleon Bonaparte Reflections on the Bicentenary of his Death Ludo Van der Heyden INSEAD, [email protected] April 26, 2021 In this article we reassess the myth of Napoleon Bonaparte, not so much from the standpoint of battles and conquests, but more from the point of view of justice, particularly procedural justice. This approach allows us to define the righteous leader as one who applies procedural justice. Using this concept, we aim to demonstrate that General Bonaparte could be considered as a just leader, although, in the guise of Emperor, he will be qualified here as the antithesis of that. The inevitable conclusion is that the Empire came to an end as a predictable consequence of Emperor Napoleon's unjust leadership. We recognize that the revolutionary aspirations of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité were in themselves noble, but that they required for their implementation a system of procedural justice central to the resolution of the inevitable tensions and contradictions that these precepts would generate. We conclude by highlighting and examining how the notion of procedural justice is vital to the proper functioning of the modern European Union. In contrast, the difficulties presented by Brexit, or the Trump presidency, can be seen as the tragic, but also predictable consequences of an unjust leadership. We revisit the urgent need for fair management and debate; debate that can only take place when guided by righteous leaders. The imperial failure was a consequence of the drift towards injustice in the management of Empire.
