Reviews
Course programme
- Role played by Napoleon during the French revolution and his rise to power. Did he fulfil the revolution aims or did he bury them ?
- Since France was nearly permanently at war under Napoleon we will look at how military campaigns and actually defeats ( Egypt, Russia …) were turned into propaganda coups contributing to Napoleon’s
legend.
- Did finally Napoleon lay down the foundation of modern France or did he just stand alone as a one off oddity in French history?
