  • 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. This translation is taken from the website of the Fondation Napoléon and can be found at the following URL: https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the- two-empires/articles/treaty-of-luneville/. I am deeply grateful for the permission granted to use it by Dr. Peter Hicks of the Fondation. That French organization does an outstanding job of promoting Napoleonic history throughout the world.

  • Murder in Aubagne: Lynching, Law, and Justice During the French
    This page intentionally left blank Murder in Aubagne Lynching, Law, and Justice during the French Revolution This is a study of factions, lynching, murder, terror, and counterterror during the French Revolution. It examines factionalism in small towns like Aubagne near Marseille, and how this produced the murders and prison massacres of 1795–1798. Another major theme is the conver- gence of lynching from below with official terror from above. Although the Terror may have been designed to solve a national emergency in the spring of 1793, in southern France it permitted one faction to con- tinue a struggle against its enemies, a struggle that had begun earlier over local issues like taxation and governance. This study uses the tech- niques of microhistory to tell the story of the small town of Aubagne. It then extends the scope to places nearby like Marseille, Arles, and Aix-en-Provence. Along the way, it illuminates familiar topics like the activity of clubs and revolutionary tribunals and then explores largely unexamined areas like lynching, the sociology of factions, the emer- gence of theories of violent fraternal democracy, and the nature of the White Terror. D. M. G. Sutherland received his M.A. from the University of Sussex and his Ph.D. from the University of London. He is currently professor of history at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of The Chouans: The Social Origins of Popular Counterrevolution in Upper Brittany, 1770–1796 (1982), France, 1789–1815: Revolution and Counterrevolution (1985), and The French Revolution, 1770– 1815: The Quest for a Civic Order (2003) as well as numerous scholarly articles.

  • Joseph François Michaud (1767-1839)
    Joseph François Michaud (1767-1839) de l’Académie française, journaliste et historien, membre de l’Académie de Savoie Joseph François Michaud est né le 19 juin 1767 à Orly, hameau d’Albens en Savoie. Il est issu d’une famille ancienne ayant son origine depuis au moins la fin du XV° siècle à Mognard, petit village situé à quelques kilomètres au sud-est d’Albens. Ses ancêtres, après avoir progressé dans la paysannerie dont ils ont fini par sortir, sont depuis trois ou quatre générations des notables locaux : châtelains, notaires, bourgeois de Chambéry, propriétaires fonciers attachés à leur terroir savoyard. La progression sur l’échelle sociale d’alors continue. Un de ses oncles a épousé une Demoiselle de Bracorens de Savoiroux, un autre une Demoiselle Muffat de St Amour. 1 Ses parents, Louis Marie Michaud et Marie Anne Montagnat, d’une ancienne famille du Bugey dans l’Ain, se sont mariés en 1765. Ils eurent sept enfants. Joseph était l’aîné. Son père est décrit dans son acte de mariage comme « commissaires es droits seigneuriaux de la paroisse d’albens en savoie diocèse de genêve demeurant depuis de nombreuses années à neuville sur ain en bresse. ». Rien ne pouvait laissait présager à sa naissance que Joseph aurait la carrière qu’il eut en France. Mais pourquoi en France ? Son père Louis Marie qui se destinait probablement au métiers des armes en Savoie dû s’exiler en France car il a avait fait une étourderie, une erreur, de jeunesse. L’étourderie ou l’erreur de jeunesse était en réalité grave. Voilà comment elle est relatée, pourtant sous un jour favorable, dans la notice sur Joseph, largement inspirée par son frère Louis Gabriel, dans la Biographie universelle : « Dans une partie de chasse, se trouvant pressé par le besoin de se rafraîchir, il [Louis Marie] entra dans une chaumière où il vit des huissiers saisissant, pour une modique somme de soixante francs, les meubles d’une malheureuse femme.

Tous droits réservés Cercles politiques et « salons » du début de la Révolution (1789-1793) 1 Cercles politiques et « salons » du début de la Révolution (1789-1793) Olivier Blanc 1 L’influence, le crédit et le début de reconnaissance sociale1 dont les femmes des classes nobles et bourgeoises de la société française bénéficièrent à la toute fin du XVIIIe siècle, devaient subitement décliner avec la guerre totale et la politique de salut public qui en fut la conséquence. Durant cette longue période – de Valmy à Waterloo –, le pouvoir politique relégua aux oubliettes les beaux projets d’émancipation agités par Condorcet et Marie- Olympe de Gouges entre autres, et les nouvelles classes bourgeoises ne s’y intéressèrent pas comme en ont témoigné George Sand et d’autres femmes de la nouvelle génération. Si l’histoire a retenu que, pour les femmes, cette évolution fut une défaite en termes d’émancipation et de consécration légale de leur influence réelle, les documents issus des archives révèlent pourtant leur intérêt constant et leur participation active sous des formes inattendues et variées aux événements politiques de leur temps.

Ship’s destruction speed during the battle is proportional to the number of enemy ships, on the average any ship can be destroyed for a half of the day. 1. battle • Write the equation. Provide solution depending on time N(t);V (t) graphically. • Who will win? (Victory if number of enemy’s vessels = 0). How many ships should be in order to win the battle? Try system with the following parameters (a12 = 2:5; a21 = 3:8), answer the questions. • How big are the losses, how long the battle lasts? • How can ships’ destruction speed change the result? • What is the process statics (equilibrium point)? • Is the process stable or not? Calculate the eigenvalues of the system. • Provide process trajectory in the state space (N, V) and several more with other initial values (in the same graph).

Rafe Blaufarb, Aimée Boutin, Michael Creswell, Jonathan Grant and James P. Jones for being on my committee. They have been wonderful mentors during my time at Florida State University. I would also like to thank Dr. Donald Howard for bringing me to FSU. Without Dr. Blaufarb’s and Dr. Horward’s help this project would not have been possible. Dr. Ben Wieder supported my research through various scholarships and grants. I would like to thank The Institute on Napoleon and French Revolution professors, students and alumni for our discussions, interaction and support of this project.
