Napolean "Dynamite" Bonaparte (Blog #12)








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?

1. Well Napoleon needed money to operate finances in Europe. He sold the Lousiniana Purchase to Americans for a cheap price. This made America bigger and more powerful.
2.Because it was worse then losing a land battle. His ships were lost and he had no way of traveling to England. It also ensured the supremacy of the British nave.
3.Well his alliances werent completly under his control. They were loosly attached, and easily manipulated. After about 5 years everything fell apart.

1)Because of the revolution Napoleaon decided to sell the Louisiana Territory to the U.S
2)It shows the importance of naval power because Napolean's only loss was at sea.
3) He wanted everybody to have a fair chance at becoming a leader but he was still going to select only who he thought was best.

1) We bought all of the Louisiana territory.
2) It shows that you cant travel through the sea without naval power
and wihtout naval power it was impossible to go to england
3) It was still unstable and they were easily manipulated and it collapsed because of nepoleons actions

1- This revolution sold the Louisiana Territory to us.
2- The destrucyion of the French fleet had two major results. One result would be it ensured the supremacy of the Britsh Navy for the next 100 years.
3- He had a hard time slecting leaders cause he wanted everyone to have equal opportunities so he didn't know who to choose.

1) The U.S. gained the Louisiana Territory once previously owned by the French.

2) If you become overwhlemed on land you can fight by sea. You can cut off supply routes as well. And if you have an enemy that's not great at manuvering through the water, and you know how to, you have a great chance of winning because you are not completely at the sea's mercy.

3) He believed everyone should be treated the same, but yet he manipulated people by threatening military actions. In a way he just just a big hipocrit. He needed to practice what he preached.

1) It got Napoleon to sell the Loisianna Territory to the United States.

2) It shows that you need ships to get from country to country to attack in those times.

3) His alliances wernt totally under his control, so therefor easily manipulated, causing it to fall apart.

1) Napoleon needed money to operate finances in Europe. Sold Lousiniana, so he could purchase American so it didn't cost too much.

2) It was worse than loosing. He lost his ships, and he couldn't travel. And his only loss was at sea.

3) He wanted people to have a fair chance at everything. But, he still only selected one.
