Project #1 (Essay)

           The French Revolution started in 1789 and there were many people who had been affected by this. People in France were affected the most because the revolution was taking place in their country. But the people outside of France were being affected as well but they were just getting help and other important things while the other people were suffering in France.

            The biggest changes that happen to France in this time were things like the political, economic, and social causes. In the political view, King Louis XVI had the power to do about anything he wanted. He was able to start a war on other places, and many other things like send people to prison without even giving them a trial. In the economic view, the people were getting poorer. The first estate had the most problems because they already had little money to start with so they were in even harder times now. And the social causes were getting really poor, especially the 1^st estate. In document 4 there was a poor lady in the 1^st estate and she told a man about the problems she was having. And she said that they were being taxed a lot as well as new laws that were being made, which were affecting her a lot because they already did not have enough money before the French Revolution started.

            The French Revolution affected France the most. I think this because most of the problems are happening in France while the places around them were benefiting from their problems. One of the biggest problems in France was when the new taxes and laws being added to the people. And all of this was happening during the French Revolution when people already were having troubles. Another problem that people had was fear. People feared that they might do something wrong or even look suspicious and they would have to go to jail or get killed. But then when everyone in France had to do something in the army, there were people scared then too. Most of the men had to fight and most of the women had to heal the wounded soldiers. But I think that it was very good to think about how everyone working in the army were working together and helping each other because they all had a job to do in the army. 

            While the whole country of France was suffering from this revolution, the places around France were having a great time. The countries around France were having much stronger governments and many other things. Some countries had so much power that they were able to overthrow Napoleonic institutions. But still even after the French Revolution, many parts of Europe people were impressed by what the Revolution accomplished than what it failed to do.

            The French Revolution ended ten years later, in the year 1799. Many things would not happen in Europe if the French Revolution did not take place. So in the end it was very important. Some of the laws would not have been in the law book of France without the French Revolution.

-Text Book Questions

1) Napoleon Bonaparte - A very powerful ruler who went up the ranks and became what he deserved to be. He was a French general, political leader, and emperor. He crowned himself emperor in 1804. And by that time he had conquered much of Europe.

Coup d' état - A sudden change in a government. Most of the time this change is done illegally or by being forced too.

Plebiscite - A vote of the qualified voters of a state in regard to some important public question.

Lycée - A secondary school in France which was ran by the government.

Napoleonic Code - The civil code of France enacted in 1804 and officially designated in 1807.

Battle of Trafalgar - A battle on sea between the British and French. This was the time when Napoleon was the French emperor.

3) In my opinion I think that Napoleon was the creation of his times. His whole life becoming a powerful ruler began when he was defended the delegates on the National Convention where he got a lot of his power and fame. After that he fought and won all of the battles that he faced. He had only lost one battle but he already had so much power and fame that it really didn’t matter. So in the end he became one of the most powerful rulers of Europe and he proved this by conquering most Europe.

4) I think that the issues inside France were more crucial than the ones outside of France because if your gain the trust and respect from the citizens first then you can deal with anything else outside.

-How Napoleon came to control the French government

1) Napoleon came to control of the French government in many ways, the main reason was my going up the ranks. One of the first things he did was becoming a lieutenant. As a lieutenant he defended the delegates of the National Convention and this this made the French Republic very happy which caused people to trust him and get fame. When he was a general he had won many battles against countries and areas that were attacking them such as, Australia. Since he had so much trust and fame, that led people to believe that he was worthy of being powerful ruler. So in the year 1800, there was vote and that gave him the real power that he deserved.

1) In present day a poor person would be wearing dirty and raggedy clothes as well as ripped or torn shoes. And a rich man would be wearing brand name suits, pants, and shoes. But it really makes a difference on which area you are looking at. For example, if you go to a rich neighborhood then the poor people won’t look as poor or there might not be any at all. And if you go to a poor area then the rich people won’t look at rich.
