 Napoleon became the first emperor of France, and appeased people of all class through the Napoleonic Code,--qualifying citizens to work for the government--reaching agreements with the church, and allowing elite emigres to return to France. He also improved France's army into the strongest military force from national conscription and system of rise in ranks. Gaining territories in west Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy, he had conquered and formed alliances with nearly all of Europe save for Russia from 1812 and Great Britain throughout the war. By placing family members to rule over lands, he made a strong dictatorship with authority among other nations.]]> 2017-11-14 22:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/206992855 The Declaration of Pillnitz 1019312 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/206996991 The Declaration of Pillnitz joined Austria and Prussia in alliance against the radical, revolutionary ideas of the French Republic and called to reassert monarchical power (Louis XVI). Although this call was meant to allow people to peacefully allow royalty back into their positions, the "Frenchmen" viewed it as a threat and call to arms. The misunderstanding of the Declaration of Pillnitz caused the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars.]]> 2017-11-14 22:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/206996991 Failures: 1019152 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207041919 Napoleon sought to weaken Britain's power, and issued the Continental Blockade in hopes of damaging trade. However that resulted in decrease of french economy and trade as well. Napoleon's Campaign of Egypt initially succeeded however ended in failure from British invasion and then Syrian wars. He levied heavy taxes which resulted in social upheavals, seeing him as an expansionist tyrant. The invasion of Russia ended in devastating failure as all invasions did, and Napoleon abdicated from his throne.

The Jacobins, pamphleteers against monarchy during The Great Fear, rose to power in establishment of the Legislative Assembly and National Convention, ushering France into war with the rest of Europe to spread revolutionary ideals against the oppression of monarchy. Urban poor and lower classes of the Netherlands and Rhine similar to the sans culottes united with France for reform against oppressive rulers. The Jacobins spread radical individualism, minimizing Christianity and implementing revolutionary thought through cultural aspects of plates, calendars, and household goods. ]]> 2017-11-16 03:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207512625 Timeline 1031231 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207516469 1791 Varennes - Monarchy attempts to seek help from Austria in the Netherlands, gets discovered

That advantage came to be because of Lazare Carnot who inspired the French to become the first country to attempt national conscription. In other other words, every person (including children) were to contribute something for the war.

Nelson, held as the Savior of Britain, defended colonial holdings of the Spice trade from Napolean's plans to control Egypt and the trade. He won the Battle of Trafalgar, ensuring that France would never invade Britain in its naval power and strength as well as flawed Napolean's Continental Blockade. ]]> 2017-11-16 04:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207522619 Failures Of Nelson 1019152 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207525584 Failures:
Although considered to rival Napoleon, Nelson failed to defeat France in many of the wars of the first coalition, resulting in a loss of Austria's holdings. He also failed to push naval battle out of England's defensive for 22 years, and was unable to initially stop Napoleon from entering Egypt, harming Britain's global trade and commerce. Additionally, he had not lived through the revolution to see the end of the war; He died from wounds of Trafalgar.

He had wanted to serve the crown of England of which most certainly was against these revolutionary ideals, thus making him an anti revolutionary. His dying words were to have said, "Thank god I have done my duty." ]]> 2017-11-16 05:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207528236 The First Coalition (1793) 1019312 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530401 The First Coalition was established in order to stop France and the Revolution is was going through. Although France was seemingly in a bad position, the size of its army and the bad communication between the allies allowed for an even battle field. The Coalition did not work since there were internal conflicts between countries and there was a switch in alliance made by the Dutch and Spain.  ]]> 2017-11-16 06:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530401 Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803) 1019152 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530792 Success:
L'Ouverture freed slave who served the people, Spain, and later France to win over colonial Haiti for independence. He had incited the first successful massive slave revolt leading to a nation, which contributed to France abolishing slavery. He expanded France's territory and funds against Britain and Spain, and eventually became ruler of Saint Domingue. ]]> 2017-11-16 06:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530792 By: Isaias Castro, Lindsay Jao, Nathan Laino, and Daniel Hall 1019312 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530960 2017-11-16 06:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207530960 Failures 1019152 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207531451 L'Ouverture failed to show loyalty switching from freed slaves, to Spain, to France leading to turmoil. He couldn't prevent the inevitable civil war in Saint Domingue. This made him a successful military leader, but an ineffective leader as the conflict between Free Colored elite and the freed slaves heightened. When Napoleon planned to reestablish slavery for profit, L'Ouverture was unable to defeat the French on Haitian soil, and was arrested and eventually died in France.

Although his army was in a sense depressed, Napoleon was a young active person which was key to his success as a commander. Instead of going through the obvious route of the coast, where the Austrians were waiting, he decided to split his army and attack them by surprise in Montenotte. ]]> 2017-11-16 06:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207533885 Second Coalition (1798) 1019312 https://padlet.com/1019312/tcca25b7fubu/wish/207541823 As the power of France grew, countries begin to feel alarmed by the constant presence dawning upon them.

His Mediterranean fleet, however, was confronted by and decisively destroyed by Lord Nelson. This proved to Napoleon that the invasion of France was as of that moment impossible and set forth to further expand in Europe. Napoleon's expansion would bring forth wars for territorial expansion before he tried once more with the idea of a Continental System. Nelson, meanwhile, was shot and died as Britain proclaimed victor and was heralded as a war hero.
