Through the art that she both commissioned and purchased, she developed an identity as powerful politically, nurturing, educated, fashionable, and Italianate. Through this patronage, Caroline became influential on stylish, female patronage in both Italy and France.

Napoleon Bonaparte, crowned Emperor of the French in 1804, returned to Paris. Napoleon spent most of his time as emperor away, fighting various wars. But, frightful words had reached his ears that impelled him to return to France. He was told that Joseph Fouché, the Minister of Police, and Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, had held a meeting behind his back. The fact alone that Fouché and Talleyrand were meeting was curious. They loathed each other. Fouché and Talleyrand had launched public attacks against each other for years. When Napoleon heard these two were trying to reach a reconciliation, he greeted it with suspicion immediately. He called Fouché and Talleyrand to his office along with three other high-ranking members of the government. Napoleon reminded Fouché and Talleyrand that they swore an oath of allegiance when the coup of 18 Brumaire was staged in 1799.

  • War of the Fourth Coalition 1 War of the Fourth Coalition
    War of the Fourth Coalition 1 War of the Fourth Coalition The Fourth Coalition against Napoleon's French Empire was defeated in a war spanning 1806–1807. Coalition partners included Prussia, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Many members of the coalition had previously been fighting France as part of the Third Coalition, and there was no intervening period of general peace. In 1806, Prussia joined a renewed coalition, fearing the rise in French power after the defeat of Austria and establishment of the French-sponsored Confederation of the Rhine. Prussia and Russia mobilized for a fresh campaign, and Prussian troops massed in Saxony. Overview Napoleon decisively defeated the Prussians in a lightning campaign that culminated at the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt on 14 October 1806. French forces under Napoleon occupied Prussia, pursued the remnants of the shattered Prussian Army, and captured Berlin on October 25, 1806. They then advanced all the way to East Prussia, Poland and the Russian frontier, where they fought an inconclusive battle against the Russians at Eylau on 7–8 February 1807. Napoleon's advance on the Russian frontier was briefly checked during the spring as he revitalized his army. Russian forces were finally crushed by the French at Friedland on June 14, 1807, and three days later Russia asked for a truce. By the Treaties of Tilsit in July 1807, France made peace with Russia, which agreed to join the Continental System. The treaty however, was particularly harsh on Prussia as Napoleon demanded much of Prussia's territory along the lower Rhine west of the Elbe, and in what was part of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

  • The Fall of Napoleon
    New Dorp High School Social Studies Department AP Global Mr. Hubbs The Fall of Napoleon The Continental System and the Peninsular Wars In addition to military endeavors against Britain, Napoleon also waged economic war, attempting to enforce a Europe-wide commercial boycott of Britain called the "Continental System". This system was used to forbid trade with Great Britain on the part of France, and her allies. Napoleon expected that the unfavorable trade balance would destroy England’s credit, break the Bank of England, and ruin English industry. Although this action hurt the British economy, it also damaged the French economy and was not a decisive factor. Portugal did not comply with this Continental System and in 1807 Napoleon sought Spain's support for an invasion of Portugal. When Spain refused, Napoleon invaded Spain as well. After mixed results were produced by his generals, Napoleon himself took command and defeated the Spanish army, retook Madrid and then outmaneuvering a British army sent to support the Spanish and drove it to the coast. Though not forcing a full withdrawal of the British Army from Spain and led to the Peninsular War which saw the constant defeat of French Marshals, at the hands of The Duke of Wellington and the eventual invasion of the south of France in 1814. Napoleon installed one of his marshals and brother-in- law, Joachim Murat, as the King of Naples, and his brother Joseph Bonaparte, as King of Spain. The Spanish, inspired by nationalism and the Roman Catholic Church, and angry over atrocities committed by French troops, rose in revolt.

  • 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.

  • N. T. Gridgeman UNCLE SAM BONAPARTES
    N. T. Gridgeman UNCLE SAM BONAPARTES updated account of the Bonapartes in America, written on the 150th anniversary of the death of Napoleon on St. Helena. Through traffic is dense in centretown Tallahassee, Florida, largely be­ cause U.S. highways 27 and 319 merge and briefly coincide with Monroe, the north-south main street of that pleasant city of snow-white buildings and lanky palms. Only the smallest fraction of the out-of-towners taking that route is, we can be sure, aware, or would be given pause by the fact that, two blocks west of Monroe, in an old graveyard, a plaque and twin obelisks identify the tomb of Achille and Catherine Murat. Prince and princess, they are cited as, al­ though, oddly, only Catherine, who was a native-born American, could lay transparent claim to the title in her later years. Achille was a mere ex-prince, but his links with celebrity are firm. It is a little stirring to be near the re­ mains, in so unexpected a setting, of a man whose uncle was Napoleon and whose father was Napoleon’s swashbuckling cavalry leader, Joachim Murat, Marshal of the Empire, High Admiral of France, and King of Naples. This year, the 150th anniversary of the death of Napoleon himself, is perhaps a good time to recall the American Bonapartes. Equipped with such genes and such notability, all of them made distinct marks in the New World. Although Achille was not the first of the clan to cross the Atlantic, he deserves early mention as the one to become most thoroughly Americanized.

  • Uniforms of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Naples: 1806 - 1815
    The Napoleon Series Uniforms of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Naples: 1806 - 1815 By Tim Reese Where Neapolitan uniforms were concerned, Joseph Bonaparte, as newly minted King of Naples, tended to maintain the French status quo. His royal successor, Marshall Joachim Murat, was an entirely different matter altogether. Himself an inveterate clothes horse, Murat had a maddening, perhaps compulsive habit of perpetually tinkering with army uniforms. Charting his nearly annual changes in clothing regulations would be difficult under the best of circumstances. Nowhere is this more evident than among Royal Guard units. The Neapolitan Royal Guard was conceived by Joseph Bonaparte as a small-scale replica of his brother's Imperial Guard. His reign was far too brief for his plans to reach fruition. Murat’s vision for a Royal Guard was purely his own unique creation, but did not fully achieve coherence until the latter stages of his reign. Uniforms of both horse and foot regiments endlessly evolved into very showy affairs even for field service. A new digital study attempts to illustrate the entire range of uniforms worn by soldiers of the Kingdom of Naples, 1806-1815 available from Art of Wars. The following Guard examples lend some idea of the complexities involved. This study may be viewed as an extensive upgrade of the famed work by Henri Boisselier (1881-1959), the only other artist to attempt such a thorough survey. The extensive research and notes of William J. Rawkins are used throughout.

Hilliard Atteridge : Joachim Murat: Napoleon's Great Commander of Cavalry before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Joachim Murat: Napoleon's Great Commander of Cavalry: Description : Napoleon's gorgeous centaur-the life of Murat Joachim Murat has come to epitomise the beau ideal cavalryman. Indeed, in the decades following the Napoleonic era, as a horse soldier excelled to extraordinary prominence, the name of Murat was often considered as analogous. In reality nobody could come close in stature and performance. Murat was one of many young men who saw the French Revolution as an opportunity to prosper in influence, power, status and wealth. An unabashed self publicist, his gorgeous uniforms were singular and exceptional even in an age when the dandy in military uniform was the norm. His ambition was insatiable and in this was the root of his downfall, for he lacked the intelligence and moderation to consolidate his advantages. Yet, Murat rose to be a soldier of the highest rank, through marriage a member of Napoleon's own family, he was elevated to the aristocracy as Duke of Berg and in time crowned King of Naples.

In 1989 a group of historians, buffs and aficionados of the then Soviet Union, for the first time, were invited to participate in the bicentennial anniversary of the French Revolution in Paris. Prior to that, we all had been studying the life and battles of the great Corsican in groups or in solo, but there it all came together. Dressed in Napoleonic uniforms as a part of the international “French” re-enactment group, we were allowed – for the first time in our history! – to visit Napoleon’s tomb in Les Invalides.
