The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte

France was ruled by an Absolute Monarch named King Louis XVI. Everyone in France belonged to one of three social classes called estates. The clergy were the First Estate; the nobles were in the Second Estate. These two estates were very wealthy and did not have to pay taxes. The Third Estate made up most of French society. The Third Estate paid heavy taxes and had few rights. Enlightenment ideas led many French people to question the way things were done. As life grew worse in France, demands for reforms increased. In 1789, King Louis XVI called the Estates General. The Estates General was a meeting of all 3 Estates. The Third Estate made up the National Assembly after their demands were ignored by the other Estates. The National Assembly voted to write a new constitution. The Declaration of the Rights of Man was a document that said all men have natural rights and be treated equally. In 1792, radicals took control of the Assembly. Their slogan was “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”. The next year, King Louis XVI was executed by guillotine. This was the beginning of the Reign of Terror. The Reign of Terror was led by Maximilien Robespierre. Over 10,000 people were killed or jailed for not supporting the revolution. The Reign of Terror ended when Robespierre was executed. Napoleon took control in 1799. He organized a new government and put himself in charge with absolute power. Napoleon conquered most of Europe replacing monarchs with his friends and family. Napoleon’s empire began to crumble when he invaded Russia. Most of Napoleon’s army was lost during the long Russian winter.
