Reforms- Yes! He learned from the enlightenment and the French Revolution!

“Enlightened despot”…??? He was authoritarian/ autocratic but:

*Government overhauled, made more efficient*Equality before the law- NAPOLEONIC CODE*Government jobs open to all, based upon skills not birthright*Granted non-Catholics full citizenship*Excellent military tactics

Turn to map on page 666.Read the legend at the top of the page.All the purple is Napoleon control.Notice British Blockade (Great Britain is now very strong since Act of Union with Scotland and Ireland- huge, skilled NAVY)

Napoleon’s defeat

Conquers much of Europe and moves east into Russia. Not prepared for cold, harsh Russian winters.

Czar of Russia uses SLASH AND BURN against them- no grass for cavalry, no food from villages, everything destroyed as they arrive.

Upon return, in battle with Britain, Napoleon’s army and exiled (imprisoned on an island)

Congress of Vienna*Concerned about the tide of nationalism and Rights of Man spread by the French Revolution and Napoleon, the victor

nations met to discuss future of Europe.

*Monarchs wished to keep hold on power!

How to ensure lasting peace European heads of state and monarchs meet to:A) Contain France B) Balance the PowerC) Keep monarchs in place legitimately!Look at page 674!Study the two maps. What changes do you see?

Congress of Vienna-Austrian Prince Clemens von Metternich advocated European powers:

•Control the population through the press and strict laws.

(In France, the monarchy was restored and King LouisXVIII was installed! So much for democracy for now.........)
