Tackett, therefore, used the example of Jean-Baptiste Sauce as an underpinning to his argument that the average person can and has altered the very course of political and social history. In this instance, the innkeeper’s actions led to the death of the monarchy in France, for the time being, and to the eventual solidification of Republican leanings in Revolutionary France. In turn, these notions led to the establishment of the First French Republic. Thus, Tackett’s depiction of the actions of Jean-Baptiste Sauce worked as an effective method for proving his
The Mahele was created in 1848 by King Kamehameha III. It was when the land was divided between the king, ali’i, and maka’ainana because the foreigners started to demand land from the Hawaiians. King Kamehameha III was scared that the foreigners would start to force the land upon him if he doesn’t grant their wish. There was a lot of forcing upon in the Pacific Islands at the time from the French, which threatened King Kamehameha to create the Mahele. The Mahele, however, was not justified because the laws made lead to the people who owned land to have different rights, the price for taro land had gone up to an unreasonable amount, and the Hawaiian children had to eat a raw potato for their food source.
Q7. After the aftermath of the 1848 uprisings a new strong ruler stepped forward. France's newest Emperor was Louis-Napoleon.

Q8. Napoleon Bonaparte, leader of France, and Adolf Hitler, leader of Germany, had several things in common when it came to attacking and having their downfall in Russia. Russia would be somewhat of a deciding factor, turning point, and or beginning of the downward spiral for both leaders and their countries. Russia posed a huge threat to both of them and it was an extensive country that stood in their way. Both invasions by Napoleon and Hitler into the Soviet Union were stopped by the same methods from the Russians.
Following the Reign of Terror, France was ruled by a corrupt five-man governing body called the Directory, which was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte through a coup d’état. Napoleon, a military general, rose to power through a series of military conquests and eventually became the First Consul of the French Republic. The French people viewed Napoleon favorably, as his military and political genius would likely lead to the creation of a prosperous and united France. Moreover, they believed that he would uphold the ideas they had fought for during the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity. While Napoleon stabilized and united French society by supporting the liberty of his people and ensuring equality of opportunity in education

Before Napoleon became emperor, France was in a post-revolutionary state after a series of civil wars. Napoleon Bonaparte’s accomplishments were achieved inside and outside of France. Napoleon’s political feats were achieved by having superior military leadership. Napoleons leadership of France ended up turning tables in many different areas from gaining economic stability to establishing an agreement with Pope Pius VII of the Roman Catholic Church. The greatest achievements that made the years 1801-1805 the height of Napoleons political career were the Concordat, the Napoleonic Code, and the reformation of French economy.
Nonetheless, in both authors views, he stands as a honorable leader, who after all did bring peace to the European continent after long
Overall, Napoleon’s success was im-pressive in both political and military terms (Daddis, et al., 2005 p. 156). This essay will first explain definitions used in the essay. Subsequently, the factors attributed to Napoleon’s victory at Austerlitz will be examined by looking at some ex-amples and providing evidence.
On the opposite end, there are those who question the triumphant representations of Napoleon and dispute the claims that his success was based upon his conquest of Europe. One such historian, in his 1997 work titled, Napoleon, Geoffrey Ellis reassesses the glorious depictions of Napoleon and the nature of Napoleonic power to assert his claim that Napoleon’s true legacy was left by his lasting political endeavors. In an attempt to prove his argument, Ellis begins his work by presenting Napoleon’s upbringing and military background. He claims Napoleon’s Corsican background and French education were key components in molding his personality that would later define his imperial
The first chapter of her book analyses a class of media texts using semiotic signs and exploring the behaviour of audiences to those sign in advertisements. The extract "A Currency of Signs" introduces what semiotic signs are and how they work with media texts. Semiotic signs are meanings and interpretations humans create when observing something in Williamson's extract the semiotic signs are from her chosen advertisements.

REFORMED FRANCE AND EUROPE: THE INFLUENCE OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE Napoleon Bonaparte, a French military leader, was a powerful personality that emerged after the French Revolution erupted in 1789. It was during this time of European chaos when he rose into military leadership and seized political power in France in an event known as the coup of 18 Brumaire (___). It was in 1804 when he crowned himself emperor and expanded his empire by waging wars across Europe that led to massive bloodshed. Though his leadership may be described as filled with contradicting philosophical and political objectives, we can attribute to him significant modern-day government systems. This paper focuses on exploring the several reforms that Napoleon implemented, and how the reform reshaped France and the whole of European continent.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a very powerful man ruling over France during the early 19th century. To some he is a hero who guided France to a better state. Others consider him to be a military dictator that lead to the demise of France. It is undecided among us and so given the evidence I have decided that Napoleon was, in fact a hero for the French.
Throughout the story, Napoleon becomes more and more corrupt. In chapter 9 of the story, Napoleon wins the presidential election. However, “...There was only one candidate, Napoleon, who was elected unanimously.” This shows how Napoleon is a totalitarian. There was nobody else that was resistant to him, so he used that against the people to win and go into total power.
