    NAPOLEON AWAKENS

    NATIONALISM

    In the early 1800’s France fought all major European


    powers.

    Napoleon was very sucessful in war and from 1807 to


    1812 controlled an empire that stretched from France
    to the borders of Russia.

    His control of these areas helped to spread the ideas


    of the French Revolution across Europe.

    RISE OF NATIONALISM

    At first people saw Napoleon as a liberator. Freeing


    them from the old system of absolute monarchs.

    However, his policies and high taxes soon caused


    great opposition.

    People in the conquered countries wanted their own


    government that reflected their own traditions,
    customs and language.

    This increased sense of Nationalism would create an
    atmosphere where more people were willing to fight
    Napoleon and the French.

    This would lead to the eventual defeat of the French


    who had been weakened by years of fighting various
    wars against all of Europe.

    However, the French had succeeded in spreading


    ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity. They had also
    awoken strong nationalism in most of Europe.
