NapoleonEssay Preview: NapoleonReport this essayNapoleon was born on the island of Corsica in 1769. His family had received French nobility status when France made Corsica a province. Napoleon was sent to France in 1777 to study at the Royal Military School in Brienne. In 1784, Napoleon spent a year studying at the Ecole Militaire in Paris, graduating as a Second Lieutenant of artillery. Sent to Valence on a peacetime mission, Napoleon educated himself in history and geography.
During the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, Napoleon fought well for the Republic, helping to defeat the British at Toulon. For his services there, he was made a Brigadier General. After the Directory came to power, Napoleon married Josephine de Beauharnais and gained command of the French army in Italy. After defeating the Austrians in 1797, he negotiated the Treaty of Campo Formio. This victory boosted Napoleon to widespread popularity when he returned to France. Eager to get rid of this potential challenger, the Directory agreed to let Napoleon take an army on an Egyptian campaign to capture Egypt and hamper British shipping to India. Napoleons campaign in Egypt did not go as planned, and when he heard that the Directory was losing power, he abandoned his army and rapidly returned to Paris to take advantage of the situation, becoming the first of three consuls in the new government proclaimed in 1799.
The Directory of the Revolution’s founder, Jean-Baptiste de Korts, was a member of the French Government at Tours. One of his sons, Henri, a prominent student of the classics and a champion of the freedom fighters, had become a representative of the Directory, but he was unable to be trusted and resigned his post in 1809. There was then great confusion regarding the fate of the Directory at the time of his departure and, as a result, the country was left behind by the “Renaissance” movement, which was led by Georges Georges Lillour and Henri Leal.
1810 – The National League of the Revolution
1810-1816
Francois Lillour was born in Florence in 1810. The family’s English name of the League was of French origin, but not quite French. When I was a student in Paris, when the French League was in the process of taking over the public airwaves in Europe, the French people did not have much interest in Lillour’s work – especially, they only appreciated his political views and what they considered to be his political views were not really public. The League’s influence reached its full capacity in 1811 thanks to a long period of campaigning during which it gained public attention and led to the formation of the National Front. That’s why the League, like other Italian pro-independence organisations, did what it always did: they launched a massive campaign of agitation, including hundreds of street rallies throughout the United States in 1811 in response to an insurrection by the League against the establishment of a republic in 1817: it was the first time a major international movement was taking place in the United States before the French Revolution took place in that country.
In 1830, Lillour met Louis XVI, who in turn helped to establish his campaign for a full-fledged republican government from a French point of view. He was very fond of Charles V, but was also disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm of Louis XVI in the eyes of those he felt should have been leading the People’s Republic. In 1819, Lillour met with Francis IV, who the League in turn allied with. Francis was a pro-government sympathizer with the League because on his part he denounced Lillour’s working on the League (which he had just started under Louis XVI’s leadership). But on the French side, he was completely opposed to the League – which on its own was supported enthusiastically by most of its members – and he ultimately became a much more moderate member of the League’s political faction.
The National League’s founding year was that of the first French Republic to fall, the first of many to follow Paris’s victory over the British. In 1820, Josephine, Jean Le Couture and Louis Filippe were all appointed as governors of the League at Toulon. The two top politicians of that time, Richard Barret and Henri Blois, joined the League and soon formed a strong political alliance which became known as the National Front. As part of a deal to unite against a coup d’etat on February 24, 1830, the League agreed in principle to allow Jean-Marie Cretan, the vice-president of the League, to form a military commission and to support the National Front and restore the rule of law in Toulon.
The first French constitution was published in 1830 and was based on the Articles of Confederation, which were followed closely by the Constitution of 1820. In that document, the President of the Council of State in Paris recognized the Council as the official body in charge of France’s domestic affairs. From the start of the Revolution, the French military force was on the order of the armies of the States and also the navy and air force to the south of Paris. The League had also established itself in London (see “Parsons,” p. 814). During the Revolution, members of the League also visited France several times to work for its military purposes. One of those visits gave evidence of the strength of the League during that fight. By then, the French military in France was weak. The Union of Northern France, formed in 1827, was composed of the Union of the Continental Armies of France (the French Union) and the United Nations Confederation, the latter being comprised of France. The United Nations was abolished in 1829 at the height of the Civil War but remained a member of the League until the end of the year 1830. In that year, France defeated the English (the English Confederation ) by 28,000 to 40,000. France’s only surviving member is the Republic of Austria. In 1842, a treaty between France and Poland allowed France to make such treaties as England and her new colonies not only under the constitution, but also under the European Constitution. The Treaty was to consist of twelve provisions for war between the two countries as well as for the exchange of prisoners. The first of these provisions was a treaty for a peace treaty concluded in 1843 through a treaty of mutual assistance drawn up by France and other German states during the first eight months of the war. Another was the agreement which gave a treaty to the Polish Republic dated October 1, 1844 and which had already been completed before the Treaty of Paris in 1865. Both of these treaty provisions were ratified at Paris on May 24, 1844 by French senators, followed by one that gave a treaty between the French and Russians on October 9, 1845. The second of these provisions was a treaty with the German States to settle these disputes on October 13, 1846. After the Treaty of Toulon, the second was passed by the National Conference of French States, the third was signed by the leaders of all the existing governments of those European Union states as follows: To negotiate treaty with Germany on the same subject as entered into on the Treaty of Toulon and of the Treaty of the Netherlands at its peace treaty, in accordance with treaties made with Germany and that agreement, in which the two Governments agree that the former shall have the right
The league and the French Nationalists made a deal
The Nationalists won control of France and occupied the French presidency. The League, as the organization’s leader, played a major role in organizing the pro-Mafia movement, which eventually spread to its members, and helped unite pro-Nazi leaders in Paris.
An attack on the League’s offices was announced on November 5, 1830 by the League’s President, Richard Barret, who claimed that the League had failed in the assassination attempt on Louis Ruse:
An attack on their offices was declared, which the League & #8219;s President had committed against them. He gave to them for $5,000 all of their office furniture.
#8219: •Ruse is murdered, or is killed, at the Lyon of Paris on September 14, 1812.
By then, the Association of Nationalists (A&A) had already established itself under a larger name and more power. To gain a foothold in the French Revolution, it formed a small, small army in May. It moved into the North and gained control of Paris when the revolution was about to break out, and in 1823 it established itself into a political political party. Eventually it formed a coalition with the French Nationalists, which formed a revolutionary movement and called itself the National Front (re-named “National,” in its honor).
#8310: •Lyon marches on the French consulate in Brussels, and the Grand Palace of the Republic & #8313: The first public demonstration of the League, in Paris, was held on May 2, 1823.
The League joined together with the Nationalists and the French Nationalists under the flag of the French Republic. Their leaders, Pierre Chabot, Thomas PĂ©tain, and Claude Leblanc, called for the return of the French Republic to France and the end to the feudal system. They took on military form and occupied the Senate, which was later disbanded. As a group, the League went on to form “nationalist colonies,” mostly outside of Paris—the North, the South, and the West. They joined with the Nationalists under the banner of “Nationals,” and they became a national force.
There are different explanations for who organized the League. There appears to be two parties of interest. These parties are the Nationalists, and they represent the party of the “National Front.” These parties were initially not formed to compete (they were not formally formed to participate in “public activities”); they became the primary means through which the League was organized in

The National Front’s first attempt at gaining control of the territory they held in Toulon turned out to be badly interrupted by the arrival of Louis XII, who set out to take this territory and
As First Consul, Napoleon began a program to consolidate his power. He ended the current rift between France and the Church by instituting the Concordat of 1801. France was then involved in several wars. In 1802, Napoleon signed the Peace of Amiens, a temporary peace with the British. In order to be able to concentrate solely on his European affairs, he sold Frances Louisiana territory to the U.S. in 1803. And in 1804, he set the foundation for much of Europes legal system by establishing the Napoleonic Code. In 1804, Napoleon did away with the Consulate and crowned himself Emperor in an extravagant coronation ceremony.
In 1805, Napoleon was planning an invasion of England when the Russian and Austrian armies began marching towards France. Napoleons forces defeated them at Austerlitz, but not before the British fleet had destroyed Napoleons navy at Trafalgar. At this time, Napoleon expanded his Empire by creating the Confederation of the Rhine in Germany and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw in Poland. By now, Napoleon
