HIST 346 - The French Revolution, Napoleon, and the Foundations of Modernity

The quarter century separating the storming of the Bastille (1789) and Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo (1815) constitutes one of the main watersheds in history. During these years, the French ended a regime based on privilege, abolished the monarchy, introduced human rights, and experimented with a political process based on frequent elections. On the other hand, new leaders introduced novel forms of antidemocratic policies, invaded numerous countries, and were involved in a bloody civil war. At once liberating and exploitative, the French revolution and Napoleon’s regime era had a profound influence on all of Europe and beyond.
