The Arrival of Napoleon Bonaparte As One of The Results of The French Revolution

Napoleon Bonaparte was a dictator originally from Corsica. Napoleon learned war when he was a boy. When it was 1799, he took over the roles of authority eliminated governmental routines already place an example is when he overthrew the nobles. many members of the 3rd estate liked him due to him giving a little bit of rights but not them all of them just like in the roman times when the emperor entertained his people to make them not protest. in speaking of romans, he pretended to be a roman emperor and dress in roman costume. many people did not like him for many reasons. in this essay I discuss likes and dislikes that I have for Napoleon Bonaparte a successful dictator.

I like Napoleon’s ideas for many reasons. first, he had a unified group of laws for the entire country the Napoleonic code which gave them little freedom and advocated for people’s rights. he also supported the enlightened ideas which had him be in regard of all social classes. he was winning wars all the time and the people respected him as a wartime champion. I also liked his ideas of stabilizing France’s economy by supporting industry freedom food and rights. also, he made a great school system by making public schools and making education more accessible which helps the economy by making more jobs available. he was a good leader in these regards.

I dislike many of Napoleon’s ideas and actions including first he was a dictator who controlled all and all must follow him. this is just like today in the 21st century in countries where there is a leader that all the people have to follow the leader’s strict rules and regimen. this is what napoleon did. he thought that he was god and wanted to take over the world by fighting in battles and using guerrilla tactics to win wars. many artists illustrated him as a god that wants to take over the world an idea that he had for many years. he also blockaded England mand made a continental system that caused a lot of hurt for the wealth of the country. when he started to lose battles especially the Russian campaign incident due to the weather causing many of his soldiers to starve. he lost which made him look weak and not like the expert he was. he also did not want to share his reign in Paul Flaherty’s opinion if a leader does not share his/her power that means that the leader is essentially a dictator due to the leader having authority over everything like for example he crowns himself emperor because he does not want any other entity to have his power some examples of 3rd party entities he does not want to share power with are the clergy the other nobles and the third estate.

Finally, Napoleon Bonaparte was an expert of war who had lots of ideas to become the ultimate leader of the world. this included his ability to win wars for such a long time and him calling himself emperor. he illustrates that point because he dresses up in roman costume a lot and illustrates himself as a roman emperor. this tells me that he might have been inspired by the romans to do what he did. in conclusion they are many likes and dislikes regarding napoleon. in the end of his reign the pre-napoleon ruling system of France came back.
