This week we will continue our investigation of the French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon. As the revolution raged on, Napoleon emerged through swift military victories and his popularity increased significantly. While the people of France were dealing with "The Terror," Napoleon actually offered stability to a nation in turmoil. We will discuss how Napoleon was able to assume absolute power and forge an empire across Europe. Towards the end of the week we will discuss how it began to collapse.
