How Napoleon fixed and broke Europe.

*This blog post was supposed to be posted around the 15th, but for some reason was not.

In class, we recently reviewed Napoleon, and his impact on the European nations. Napoleon conquered much of Europe in the nineteenth century. However, while he wanted to be the ruler of all of Europe, he was not all of a bad person. Much of the people in the countries he conquered were given more rights in the end then they started with. Most rulers in power stayed in power, they just had to follow what Napoleon told them to do. Really, the biggest difference is that most of Europe belonged to France. With more people having rights, people were happier, just not those with power. Napoleon afterwords inspired some countries to move to a constitutional monarchy after Napoleon was defeated, to keep some of the people who had rights under his rule, with rights.
