The French Revolution & Napoleonic Europe Outline Modern Europe History Name Institutional Affiliation Course Date Surname 2 1) Thesis statement The story of medieval Europe is the story of Napoleon rise and fall, the Estates General as the main cause of the French Revolution, and how it would lead to the subsequent formation of the French Consulate under the influence of Napoleon. 2) Introduction The story of medieval Europe is the story of the Estates General as the main cause of the French Revolution which would lead to the subsequent formation of the French Consulate under the influence of Napoleon. The Estate General played a key role in dividing the country something which led to the rise of the French Revolution War. Under the Estate General France was divided into three orders which were the First Estate, Second Estate, and the Third Estate with each being made up by clergy, nobility, and commoners respectively. It is through such wrangles that the French Directory was overthrown giving way for the French Consulate under the leadership of Napoleon. 3) The age of enlightenment a) The age of enlightenment outlines the knowledge development levels in medieval France and how it shaped the development of the three orders. The paragraph will thus outline the development of France in general and how this created the bases for what would become revolution in future. ? The period between 1688 and 1789 involved a period of political development which created political systems in France. ? Social contracts such as the Two Treatises on Government by John Locke ? The social contract of 1762 based on Jean-Jacques Rousseau on the districts of human reason 4) The Roots of the French Revolution a) The paragraph outlines the main causes of discomfort among the French citizens and the reasons that caused the French Revolution with Napoleon who played a key role. ? The living conditions in Paris were deplorable and as it is outlined by Arthur Young the streets were narrow and dirty. Surname 3 ? Residents of France were subjected to massive taxation despite living in poor conditions as stated by Marie Antoinette. ? The Royal France and Estate General caused discrimination especially among the less fortune individuals in the community. 5) The French Revolution and the Reign of Terror a) The paragraph will offer an insight on the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizens which abolished the issue of class and status in the society which completely destroyed the Estate General. ? People were guaranteed rights to own property and freedom of speech hence promoting the principle of all sovereignty. ? The French Revolution led to the declaration of the rights of women and the general citizens. ? The revolution protected people against being disquieted based on their opinions as long as they did not disturb the public order. 6) Napoleon in the realm and his influence in Europe a) The paragraph will explain Napoleon’s rise to power during the French Revolution and his influence in Europe. ? Napoleon Bonaparte grew as a general in the Revolutionary Army where he became famous where he also became a consul and an emperor ? Led a campaign to Egypt from 1798 to 1799 to establish France’s military control in North Africa. ? He also build monumental architecture such as the Place de la Bastille, les Invalides and also the Louvre. 7) Napoleonic betrayal of the people a) The paragraph states how Napoleon promoted certain issues that betrayed the people who trusted him something which led to his downfall. ? He embarked on massive censorship of the press thus limiting the ability of the people to criticize him ? He also prohibited trade with Britain hence affecting his people even more Surname 4 ? The French public refuses to join the military after only 40,000 out of the 600,000 members of the French Great Army return to Paris after the war with Moscow. 8) Conclusion The Estate General brought division among the French citizens since it offered room for mistreatment of the poor by the rich. Napoleon rose in ranks and people soon developed trust in him. During the French revolution, he helped eradicate such systems and the French Consulate was established by the common citizens. Despite this, Napoleon amassed more power and this led to the betrayal of the people who once put their trust in him. Lack of support from the citizens also led to the loss of influence in the outside world more so in Europe. Surname 5 Work cited A.K Beer. 2020. "Modern Europe Pre-French Revolution".
