By clicking the legend you will be able to see the borders of countries, major cities and even the famous “March and Retreat” of Napoleon’s Russian campaign. After you have gathered your information, you will be asked to answer the questions found below and then post both the map link and your answers to your own Wiki page. Locate the following places and briefly describe their importance to Napoleon:
1. Corsica: he was born there. It is located between Italy and France
2. Egypt: was an enemy to napoleon, was controlled by the Britain empire. he lost and left the defeat to his generals
3. Paris: capital of France, came into power very quickly. he built the homes and towns in paris, (still currently the same)
4. London: it was an enemy to napoleon. capital of england. wanted to disrupt trade in britain.
5. Moscow: he led a huge invasion into Moscow, but he lost most of his men.
6. Elba: this is where he was banished for the first time. also where he died. Once you have done this, use the various layers to find answers to the following and list them below:
Which nations are controlled or allied with Napoleon?
Norway, Austria, Prussia, Russia Empire.
Which nations are opposed to Napoleon?
Sweden, great Britain, Sicily, Portugal, Egypt, Sardinia.
Read the description above the map and then examine the “Invasion of Russia” on the interactive map. Notice the huge losses and temperatures during the campaign. Describe in your own words why the invasion failed based on your readings and our class discussions.
Napoleon's troops were not prepared for the cold temperature and they ended up with no crops and were not fit for battle, leaving him to lose most of his men.
Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769–1821
The people who knew or met Napoleon held different opinions about him. He inspired fierce loyalty in his troops. His wife Josephine adored him. Some other observers, though, saw Napoleon as cold and unfeeling. As is the case with famous people, historians and artists have also portrayed Napoleon in different ways, depending on their points of view. Compare the two portraits of Napoleon above and how the artists’ viewpoints differed.
What is the message in each of the pictures? What are the significance of the date for each?
the message in the first picture is that napoleon was this great and fearless hero of france, and it also shows how he acted while in command and while he had great fortune and wealth. while in the second picture, he looks as if he is an ill/lazy ruler who basically is a terrible emperor, people see him as this because of all the bad things he has done. 1st a strong and fearless leader, he is about to lead his army. 2nd he looks lioke he is a defeated man, thinking about how his life turned around. Which of the portraits is more realistic and why?
for me, both pictures are realistic, in the first picture, even though he was riding a donkey instead os a large majestic horse, he fits all the criteria i have heard about him, that he is a great savior of france and led battles and had victory after victory. while in the second picture, he looks like someone who doesnt care at all, reason being is that he failed at a couple of things that probably had some sort of impact of some people which changed the way they saw him, and in some cses would be true. the 1st one, because at the time, this is how the people viewed him as a great leader. How does each reflect different aspects of Napoleon’s personality as well as the rise and decline of his fortunes?
the first picture shows him in his prime while he is in battle, however, the second pictuer shows what people think of him and his bad accomplishments during the wars. they dipict his overall success during the time that those pictures were made.

Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant: You be the Judge!
By Anthony Brandano
Napoleon Bonaparte, a brilliant emperor who had control over most of Europe. He was considered a hero in most eyes, but others did not see him as such a man and they only saw him as a tyrant. He had accomplished many great deeds to benefit France; however, it doesn’t mean that people didn’t view him differently. Despite all the actions he had done, he helped to rebuild France and turn it into an empire. On the other hand he fled from battle, exiled twice, lost thousands of men in war, and lost many other battles to Russia.
Napoleon came into power very quickly, and was done because of the uproar from the revolution, which led to many opportunities, “ability is nothing without opportunity.” When the time came for him to be crowned, he submitted a plebiscite asking the people of France if they wanted to become an empire, in which they answered yes. When Napoleon came to power, France immediately became an empire, thus Napoleon set out his plan to conquer all of Europe and help to rebuild France. He also wanted to extend French power in the Americas.
While in command, he had made policies such as: economic reforms; created the bank of France to regulate the economy. Legal reform; created the Napoleonic code which eliminated many injustices. Educational reform; established a network of high schools, universities, and technical schools to educate young men in preparation for jobs. He also improved church state relations which ended the anti-religious nature of the French revolution.
Napoleon at times fixed mistakes so that nothing horrific might happen. He helped get rid of post-revolution chaos in France which made some people see him as a hero. The congress of Vienna was established to restore order and stability to Europe after the Napoleonic wars. Indemnity was used to pay off damages to other countries. Napoleon not only benefited France, but other countries as well. He also helped fuel the spread of nationalism. After Napoleon fixed the post-revolutionary chaos, he decided to rebuild pairs into his own image and still today remains as it was.
Although Napoleon had his victories, he still had many failures and some saw him as a tyrant. Due to the hatred for Great Britain, Napoleon set up the Continental System which blocked trade with Britain. He started a series of wars called the Napoleonic wars. During the battle of the Nile, Napoleon was at a war with Egypt; however, he failed to conquer it and fled back to France leaving his generals to be blamed for this loss. During his march to Moscow, his troops were not prepared for the cold, they had very little food and he lost about 75% of his entire fleet, carelessly leading his men into death, or just ended up being captured. “You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.” Napoleon also took the crown from the pope and crowned himself, telling the world that no one gives him power, he took it for himself.
When Napoleon first came to power, he decided to send an expedition to Haiti, however, this plan failed miserably, causing Napoleon to abandon his dreams of empire in the Americas. When Napoleon went to war with Spain, he lost a fight due to the fact that his men were pinned down and nothing could be done about it. After his defeat in Moscow, he was exiled to a small island called Elba. Shortly after, Napoleon returned to Paris, which was the beginning of the Hundred Days, a brief period of renewed glory that didn’t last that long.
After Napoleon came back from Elba, his enemies were gathering troops in hopes to defeat Napoleon. This battle was called The Battle of Waterloo. The final confrontation pitted Napoleon against the Duke of Wellington plus the army of Prussia. Napoleon was no match for the strength of the two armies and his army was brutally slaughtered and was driven off the field by the end of the day. This battle was the end of Napoleon’s military career and the end of the Napoleonic wars. After his huge loss at the battle, he was soon exiled again, but this time to a remote island called Saint Helena.
Despite all the good that has transpired during Napoleon’s reign, his actions put France into terrible situations. He built Paris in his own image, set up policies, and helped France become an empire, but in doing so, he carelessly lost thousands of men while battling in Russia, he was exiled twice for his military failures, and was a power hungry person who just wanted to rule with an iron fist. Napoleon can be seen as both ways, either a hero or a villain; however, it is based on perspective on what people consider him to be. Is Napoleon a hero or a tyrant?
