History

Answer: Americans who lived through the 1960s and 1970s remember the fear associated with a real surge in violent crime. In fact, the violent crime rate increased by 126 percent between 1960 and 1970, and by 64 percent between 1970 and 1980. That increase was already in the pipeline due to increased drug use. Young people commit more crime and demographically there was an explosion with the baby boomers reaching their teenage and adult years for the first time. So, a large population of young people likely led to significant increases.

Timeline of the French Revolution and Napoleon:

1802: Napoleon becomes the Consul for Life.

1804: Napoleon becomes Emperor.

1805: Napoleon loses the Battle of Trafalgar to the British.

June 1815: Napoleon loses the Battle of Waterloo to the British.

July 1815: Napoleon is exiled to St. Helena.

How Did Napoleon Rise to Power? Napoleon was a war hero. A young French officer, who had been born on the island of Corsica, proved his military genius by leading soldiers to victory. By 1797, Napoleon Bonaparte had taken Rome and established a peace treaty with Austria. One year later, Bonaparte led his armies to victory in the French conquest of Egypt. Napoleon's reputation as a leader was widely recognized, and he was promoted to the rank of general.

How Did Napoleon Fall from Power? At some point, though, you may realize you're doing too much at once and can't keep up. In military terms, this is called being overextended. This is part of the reason Napoleon ultimately fell from power. Napoleon's grip on Europe was weakened by his Russian campaign. His European "subjects" used this opportunity to pool their forces to fight against Napoleon and free themselves from French rule. The French Empire lost territory and control. By April 1814, a group of allied nations forced Napoleon's unconditional surrender. The allies offered Napoleon exile on Elba, which he accepted.  

Following Napoleon's Hundred Days of rule after his first exile, King Louis XVIII returned to the throne in Paris. In July 1815, Napoleon was finally exiled to St. Helena, a British island. He died there in 1821.

Napoleon's Legacy: Was Napoleon "great" as some historians claim? The answer may depend on your understanding of Napoleon's legacy. Consider the following achievements and, in contrast, actions for which he is now notorious:

• He developed the Napoleonic Code, a civil code, that was originally adopted in French-governed areas across Europe. The underlying principle, that laws should be just and rational, laid a foundation for later civil codes. The Napoleonic Code remains the civil code today, though the original code has been revised.

• He reconciled with the Roman Catholic Church with the Concordat of 1801. This normalized relations between the church and the French government following the French Revolution.

• He spread the ideals of the French Revolution, such as liberty and equality, throughout Europe. He did this somewhat unknowingly, but these seeds set the stage for later revolutions that erupted in Europe nonetheless.

• He led his country into catastrophic wars that caused millions of deaths.

• He misjudged the strength of his forces and was, consequently, defeated and forced into exile.
