Napoleon Bonaparte

[MooreChan]

Do you think that Napoleon did more to help or hurt the causes of the French Revolution? Use examples of his actions to support your reasons.

[Gandy]

And how did he use the internet or technology while doing so?

[Potatoman]

i know, gandy.

Moorechan, get it right, mate! try maybe history and myths cat...? :-)

[dodgyshirt]

Try answering your homework yourself.

I don't know much about the whole revolution, but try http://www.wtj.com/articles/napsum1/ "the ensuing seizure of power by napoleon and his political allies effectively brought the french revolution to an end" This site gives more detail of his actions.

[glasgowguy]

being french i think he did help..

to back up his actions he would keep one hand in his blazer not as a sign of defiance but to hide his exema...true story

[woofgang]

He passed a law that everyone in france was to DO THEIR OWN HOMEWORK

[Octavius]

The peasants were always revolting anyway

[Peter Pedant]

yeah the question is Do you think.., Chan, and not Do ABers think.....

Make a list of things he did 1795-1800 and then decided if that is pro revoluation or against it?

Now, since I am not doing History O level, all that comes to mind is,

Dissolving the directory (ou directoire)

Crowning himself Emperor

Reforming the Legal system

Persuing war against England

Invading Egypt

I think you will probably be able to make the argument that initially he was pro revolutionary and then later on he was more obviously very pro one napolepon bonaprte

[Octavius]

And neputism I believe.  Didn't he hand out a few choice jobs to members of his family?
