Question

Was napoleon a preserver or destroyer of the revolution

Answer 1

Hey !

Napoleon was proved to be a preserver as :-

Earlier in his reign, Napoleon preserved the French Revolution and its original ideals.

• He rose to power through the military wing of the French Revolution and sought to unify the country.

Unity was lacking during the French Revolution because of conflicts between Jacobins and Girondins.

• Napoleon upheld the idea of a French republic and extended an opportunity to the people to occupy positions of power regardless of their social status. However, his ambition overtook his support for revolutionary ideas, and in the later part of his reign, some of the important gains of the Revolution were rolled back.



• Napoleon crowned himself emperor of France and extended the title of “King of Rome” to his son. He led the restoration of the French aristocracy and handed nobility titles to his close friends, which went against the basic principles of the Revolution.


Thus, Napoleon preserved the Revolution earlier on in his reign, but he went against its guiding principles in the later part of his leadership.
