The French Revolution and Napoleon: the Forge of the Modern World

About This Novel

Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor in 1804, turning France from a republic into an empire. In some ways, Napoleon continued the democratic practices of the early Revolution, such as his enactment of the Civil Code; but in other ways, he was an enemy of the Revolution, such as his curtailment of political participation and freedom of expression. He launched a war to conquer Europe, which not only spread the fruits of the revolution and won the support of some European people, but also aroused resistance from people everywhere due to his plundering of conquered areas and destruction of the existing international order. Finally, in 1815, Napoleon was defeated by the British-led anti-French alliance at Waterloo. A great era in French history and world history has come to an end! The French Revolution and Napoleon had a profound impact on later generations. It can be said that we are still living in the world forged by the French Revolution and Napoleon. "The French Revolution and Napoleon - The Forge of the Modern World" uses the paradigm of global history to rewrite the process of the French Revolution and the rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire, emphasizing the global effects caused by the Revolution and Napoleon, and what kind of modern world they forged.
