Napolean "Dynamite" Bonaparte (Blog #16)








In times of political turmoil, military dictators often seize control of nations. Napoleon Bonaparte, a military genius, seized power in France and made himself emperor.


Your Assignment:

1). How did L'Ouverture's revolution benefit the U.S.?
2). How does the Battle of Trafalgar show the importance of naval power?
3). How did Napoleon's belief in equal opportunity conflict with his method of selecting leaders for puppet government?


Due: Sunday by no later than 11:59p.m.

  1. 1)L'Ouverture was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. The revolution was influential in slave rebellions in the US. It inspired a temporary increase in slave rebellions in the US, and this scared Southern plantation owners.
    2)Trafalgar, as the battle was named by George III, had crushed the naval power of a deadly enemy, and - although they had fought like heroes - the Spanish and French had been annihilated.
    3)Napoleon sought to advance his belief in free trade, cheap credit, and the need to develop infrastructure as ways of ensuring progress and prosperity through government policy. Napoleon, like Haussmann and Persigny.

  2. 1) The U.S. was able to get the Louisiana Territory.
    2) It insured that Britain would have the best navy for the next 100 years. Also Napoleon left Britain alone.
    3) All the countries that he controlled were easily manipulated because they were all related.

  3. 1.) America benefited by gaining land that produced sugar.
    2.) Horatio Nelson defeated Napoleon showing Britain's naval power, and preventing the spread of napoleons empire.
    3.) Napoleon could not give power to all, because he only could manipulate a select few people. If he raised anyone to power as he would with equality, he wouldn't be able to make them his pawns.
