Carlos Luis Napoleón Bonaparte was the unique president of the Second French Republic (1848-1852) and, later, emperor of the French between 1852 and 1870 with the name of Napoleón III, being the last monarch of France. His political philosophy was a mixture of romanticism, authoritarian liberalism and utopian socialism, although in recent years was an outstanding defender of traditionalism and Catholic civilization. He wanted to mean a repair against anticlericalism and the atheism of the French Revolution. He had a policy of expansion of the classical civilization that, in his opinion, France represented, facing the emergence of Germany and the United States, emerging powers of a Protestant type.
