From 1804,bourbon restoration,kingdom,republic and empire under napoleon III how could french society be described as.
for example during the first napoleonic bonaparte era did women play a role in the military and what other roles did they have in society.Was Napoleon Bonaprte cruel towards the locals of countries he invaded and did he destroy any major sites/buildings cities that he stormed.
You don’t need a thread, you need a book. Get thee to a library!
That said, on one point I will offer some guidance. While he could be ruthless on the battlefield and when he had to storm a city (Standard procedure in those days), in general he didn’t abuse the ‘common’ people and usually imposed his "Code Napoleon’ as law, which was often better than what the people had been living under.
Of course, the Spanish may disagree, but Napoleon was not there during the worse of the rebellion/repression in the early 1800’s (it was some nasty stuff).
How long do you have to write this term paper?
I’d go for “consistently stylishly dressed”, myself.
It was pretty cool. 136 years isn’t a whole lot of time. Not much happened.
Ha! My first thought.
Short answer: A fascinating mess.
Long answer: If a library is out of the question, start with Wikipedia entries for the various Emperors and Kings and go from there. Keywords/phrases: Napoleon, Waterloo, Paris July Revolution, Uprising of 1832, 1848 Revolution, Second Republic, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas. And that’s just for a start.
Oh hell, just go here and figure it out yourself.
Haitian Revolution
Napoleon Declared Emperor
The Hundred Days and the Battle of Waterloo
Restoration of the House of Bourbon
The July Revolution
Canut revolts
June Rebellion
February Revolution
French Intervention in Mexico
Franco-Prussian War
Third Republic
Paris Commune
The Dreyfus Affair
Entente Cordiale
Separation of Church and State
World War I
Crisis of February 1934
Nazi Invasion of France
Pretty much everything imaginable happened during this time, except beheading a king—and you can include that and an event that is actually called the Reign of Terror—if you extend the dates by just 11 years.
A good list but I’d add in French Imperialism. This was the period when France took control over Algeria, Indochina, Madagascar, Senegal, and all those other places that caused them troubles a few decades later.
That’s just boring war stuff.
The really interesting France was cultural, social, intellectual, and artistic. Much more important, too, in the long run. Check out The Exposition Universelle of 1900 as a center point and work backward and forward.
