Complete the Storyboard: Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) came
to power at the end of the French
Revolution. Under Napoleon’s
command, French armies invaded Italy
and defeated the Austrians and
Russians, who were at war with France.
In 1799, Napoleon seized power in
France itself, becoming a dictator.
Napoleon attempted to combine the
social reforms of the Revolution with his
own absolute power. Five years later, he
crowned himself emperor.
By 1805, he had defeated all of the
other European powers except England,
and had created a French empire
covering much of Europe. Napoleon’s
ambition united Europe against him. In
1812, Napoleon invaded Russia.
The Russians burned their own crops
as they retreated. By the time Napoleon
reached Moscow, he found the city in
ruins. In the winter weather, Napoleon’s
army retreated. After Napoleon’s defeat
in Russia, the other European powers
combined to overthrow him.
An attempt by Napoleon to recapture
the French throne in 1815 failed when he
was defeated at Waterloo. Although he
ruled for only fifteen years, he had an
enormous impact on France.
Napoleon established a law code known
as the Code Napoleon. Social equality,
religious toleration, and trial by jury
were part of the Code. His rule also
stimulated the growth of nationalism.
Golden Age of England: Elizabeth I
Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, the
second of Henry’s six wives. In order to marry Anne Boleyn and divorce his first
wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII decided that he was England’s absolute
authority on matters of government and religion. Breaking with the Roman
Catholic Church, Henry VIII started the Protestant Church of England. However,
after Henry married Anne and it was clear that Anne Boleyn would have no
children after Elizabeth, Henry accused her of adultery and had her beheaded when
Elizabeth was two years old. Elizabeth became monarch of England after the
deaths of her half-brother and half-sister. With Elizabeth on the throne, England
was returned to the Protestant faith that Elizabeth’s older half-sister (Catherine of
Aragon’s Catholic daughter) had attempted to suppress. Elizabeth I was the
reigning monarch during England’s golden age. During England’s golden age,
Shakespeare wrote his famous plays and sonnets and England defeated the Spanish
Armada. Elizabeth I was a strong and popular monarch but she refused to marry.
When she died, the throne passed to James VI of Scotland, the son of the Catholic
Mary, Queen of Scots, whom Elizabeth had executed.
Primary Source: An excerpt from “Elizabeth’s Speech at Tilbury, 1588”
“…I am come amongst you…to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my
God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honor and my blood...I know I have
the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a
king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or pain…should
dare to invade the borders of my realm…I myself will take up arms, I myself will be
your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field...In the
mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince
commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to
my general…and your valor in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over
those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.”
