By the time he arrived in France, the French had had some victories in Egypt and this boosted Napoleon’s popularity. The Directory tried to punish him for desertion but they were too weak and Napoleon proceeded to work against them and seized power from them. Napoleon then engineered his election as First Consul in 1800 which made him the most powerful person in France. This created the platform for him to appoint himself as Emperor. Conclusion In conclusion, whilst the Campaigns were pivotal opportunities for Napoleon to make his name and increase his popularity and heroism, this by itself was not enough to make him the most powerful person in France by 1800.
I personally think that Henry failed in his foreign policy because he didn’t end up gaining a full grasp on France, this was the main precedence. The initial aim was to capture more land, gaining more land meaning capturing France and knowing Henry’s ambitious mindset, he most probably had his whole mind set on creating an empire and France was a good place to start. Had Henry been what he said he was ‘a warrior king’ he wouldn’t have been used as a toy twice throughout this unsuccessful foreign policy. Charles took advantage of Henry. At the Battle of Pavia, the French were defeated and Francis along with his strongest supporters were held captive.
Economic costs of deflation- deflation has proved to have several economic costs, the main cost is that it encourages differed expenditure where people’s expectations change and they delay spending in the hope of getting a better deal. This then results in a decrease in AD causing business revenues to fall and confidence to decrease delaying business investment and cutting costs, i.e. increasing unemployment, all of which could slow economic growth and force a recession as evidenced in the 1930s depression. Additionally deflation increases the real value of debt leading to
Even though this small band of troops were easily captured and dealt with, it still began to plant a very real threat of invasion into Britain's soils. In 1798, a larger French military force landed in Ireland and successfully assisted the Irish Rebels, which again showed and proved that the threat of invasion to Britain was now significant and there were now also British worried that France would begin to use Ireland as a 'stepping-stone' to invade Britain. After Pitt declared War on France in 1793, he had hoped to fight a traditional colonial war, but due to the state of the army, he had to focus Britain's army on the naval war and pay others to fight the colonial war for him. He paid for this by
One of the reasons companies outsource workers, and thus help imperialize foreign countries, is for cheap labor. Western corporations can have multiple sources for a given item, in order to allow continued production once one region realizes it is being treated unfairly and strikes. Oddly, it is argued that these companies could survive without any foreign connection—capitalism without imperialism. But, this would lower profits and prevent “advanced capitalism.” The decision to claim that cultures with what is considered modern technology is defined by military power rather than which culture is actually superior. It is this force that essentially created this gap.

Many of Napoleon’s victories were to increase his status and often seemed to have no intent to help his people. From 1799 to 1815 Napoleon had led the French people to many great war victories. He defended France from the Austrian armies and led them to victories in Italy. By October 1797 all of Northern Italy was under French control. Later Napoleon had defeated the Egyptians in the Battle of the Pyramids in July 1798 then defeated the Austrians in the Battle of Marengo, the latter defending France from the Second Coalition.
A result of tariffs on imported goods was that the exporting country would retaliate by imposing tariffs on imports. This would lead to a game of “one-upmanship”, with tariffs inching ever-higher, eventually leading to either a drastic reduction, or even cessation of trade. This choking of international trade eventually depressed world demand, and led to the Great Depression of the 1930s (Hill, 2009, p. 11). After World War II, the leading industrial nations decided to reduce or eliminate restrictions to free trade. One outcome of this effort was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trades (GATT).
However, the ruling class enacted to squeeze and exploit with their political power, which sharpened the contradiction and resulted in the uprisings. The nobles had to make concessions to increase the salaries and reduce the land rent. Due to most of the nobles’ income was from land, it caused the tremendous decrease of the income and put their finance into a difficult situation. The suzerainty of the nobles was lowered while merchants and financiers took the opportunities to grab more money and become the main decision maker in the government. It weakened the political power of the original ruling class.
The war between Britain and France ended with the victorious British deeply in debt and demanding more revenue from the colonies. The Sugar Act, Currency Act, Stamp Act, and Quartering Act were all designed to make the colonies(which were in fact deeply indebted to England)carry some of the load for and provide support to their mother country. Unfortunately these legitimate acts were made illegitimate by the fact that they were demanded without representation. A popular phrase before the revolution was in fact, “No taxation without representation.” When the colonies applied for representation in Parliament they were ultimately brushed aside.The colonial leaders called continuosly for a boycott of English goods and the British sent troops in the city.These troops shot and killed five men in the Boston Massacre.The colonies responded with the Boston Tea Party and the fight went on until the win of the U.S. The enlightment ideas also helped American people in their revolution with thinkers such as John Locke and
