Napoleon Bonaparte - Peak To Demise


Listen Later

In the final episode of our three part series, we will discuss Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most prominent figures in history. Whether you know him by the actions he did or not, just by the name, there is a reputation that most people can agree is connected to it. The encompassing idea discussed in this first month of episodes will be: What makes a person a national citizen of the country that they are living in. This episode starts first and foremost off with a recap of all the activities Bonaparte did from his coronation as he becomes emperor and leads into the third coalition. We go through the battles and what made him a powerful emperor. We also go in depth in his campaigns on the Iberian Peninsula and the Russian Invasion of 1812. This then leads to his eventual fall at the end of the 6th and 7th coalitions themselves.
