Summary - The French Revolution is defined as the political upheaval of world importance that began in France in 1789. Inspired by the success of the American Revolution, French citizens overthrew the noble, ruling class and establish a democratic government. The French monarchy under Louis XVI was viewed as oppressive and corrupt and the social structure was rigid, meaning it did not allow for social mobility which eventually forced the people to demand change.

Napolean
Summary - Napoleon Bonaparte was a powerful force in Europe from 1799 to 1815. He rose from the ranks of the French army to become the emperor of France. By 1812 he had control of most of Europe. Unfortunately, he met his demise when he attempted to invade Russia. His downfall was almost as swift as his rise to power.
Napoleans decieving intelligent persona allowed him to almost singlehandidly conquer the entire eastern hemisphere. First he sold off or ignored all French owned land in the east. Second he never let anybody know if he lost a battle. Last he respected the enemies he beat so they would join his army. That is why Napolean was a great influence on Europe.
