Pop Quiz | Holy Relics?

The Rise and Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte | "The Enlightenment on Horseback"

The Rise and Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte | "The Enlightenment on Horseback"

"At the turn of the 18th century, the greatest nations in Europe, separated by only 21 miles of water, offered two distinct ideologies that would shape the new century. In England, there was democratic, constitutional monarchy; in France, the cataclysm of revolution had dragged the absolute King from the throne and replaced him with the Mob. Out of the maelstrom emerged a military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, commander of the revolutionary army, who went on to conquer Italy and Egypt before returning to Paris to proclaim himself Emperor. As Napoleon gained power in France, the world stood on the brink of total war. For out of the furnace of the Napoleonic Wars, the modern world was born." — Robert Harvey, The War of Wars, 2006 — Join us as we teach you about the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, his effect on France and Europe, and the enduring legacy of his reign and influence.
