Napoleon in the French Revolution Independence in 19th Century Europe.
This four page undergraduate paper is in the form of two two-page essays. The first essay examines Napoleon Bonaparte's role in the French Revolution, and assesses whether Napoleon was a revolutionary or a defender of the old order. The author concludes that Napoleon was revolutionary in some of his domestic policies, but was very much a defender of the old order in terms of autocracy and authoritarian rule. The second essay analyzes why Germany and Italy attained independence by 1870, while the Czechs, Irish, and Poles did not.
