After Napoleon abdicates in 1814, the revolution is officially over, and Louis XVIII is crowned King of France. Can you believe it? The monarchy returns!!! In light of our investigation of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, evaluate the legacy of the French Revolution. Do you believe it was a success or a failure? Your response should be atleast 150 words.
Napoleon Bonaparte was an amazing French leader who in less than 11 years conquered territory only rivaled by that of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and Hitler. He believed that his mission on Earth was to conquer the world and he practically did. An amazing figure in the French revolution and needlessly to say incredibly controversial. Napoleon made himself known in France by ascending to power, and after the revolution had taken place crowning himself king! Many people debate whether he was beneficial to the French Revolution or harmful to it. The people that thought he was a danger to the revolution debate that he spent way too much money in his personal campaigns to prove his might, while those who see him as helpful debate that he constructed schools, roads, hospitals, and such works. Personally, I believe that he was an incredible help for the revolution, because even though he brought monarchy back to France, he fulfilled what the revolution started in the first place for, equality. Under his command the third state attained a better lifestyle, and the first and second states obtained the exact same rights as those of the “people”.
