Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 in Corsica and rose to become the Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814. He came from a noble family and was sent to military school at a young age. His early military successes led to promotions and he became a general by age 24. As leader of France, Napoleon reformed the government and education system. He negotiated important treaties, including the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 which doubled the size of the United States. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and marked the decline of his empire.

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were executed for treason. Maximilien Robespierre led the Committee of Public Safety and established a reign of terror, executing those who opposed him, before eventually being overthrown and executed himself in July 1794.

Napoleon later rose to power as leader of the Consulate and First French Empire, though he was finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815. The Congress of Vienna following Napoleon sought to restore the monarchies and balance of power in Europe to prevent further revolution.
The french revolution power point
France on the eve of the revolution was divided into three estates. The First Estate was the clergy who owned 10% of the land and paid no taxes. The Second Estate was the nobles who held government positions but also paid no taxes. The Third Estate was everyone else, around 98% of the population who were peasants, workers, and the middle class and paid all the taxes. The Third Estate resented the privileges of the upper estates and the burden of taxes especially as food prices rose. King Louis XVI called the Estates General to address France's economic troubles but each estate got one vote, favoring the First and Second Estates. The Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath to create
1 the old regime and the enlightenment
The document summarizes the political system of the Old Regime in France and the rise of the Enlightenment movement in response. Under the Old Regime, King Louis XIV ruled as an absolute monarch, believing he received power directly from God. Society was stratified between the privileged nobility and clergy versus the discriminated Third Estate. The Enlightenment emerged in the 18th century as intellectuals criticized the Old Regime and advocated for reason, science, progress, and equal rights over religion and absolute rule. Their ideas spread through publications like the Encyclopaedia and salon discussions. Some monarchs accepted Enlightenment reforms while refusing to give up their own power in what was called "Enlightened Despotism."
The french revolution
The French Revolution occurred from 1789 to 1799 and overthrew the French monarchy and feudal system. It established France as a republic and introduced principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. The revolution was caused by famine, rising debt, taxation, and failure of reforms under the monarchy. It involved the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris, the establishment of a National Assembly, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The revolution eventually spiraled into the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre, with thousands executed by guillotine before his own fall from power. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as emperor.
The French Revolution - part 2
The royal family tried to escape France but was caught. This led to the creation of a new constitution and Legislative Assembly with power shared between the king and assembly. Internal divisions grew between moderate and radical groups as the war went badly. Radicals took control in Paris, declared a republic and executed the king and queen. The Reign of Terror followed under Robespierre until his own fall from power. The government transitioned to the Directory and then the Consulate before Napoleon declared himself Emperor.
