Napoleons Impact on the Country's He Conquered

          "A usurper, a tyrant, and greedy, egotistical and ambitious ruler". This quote was said in the article Lost Voices of Napoleonic Historians to show that Napoleon Bonaparte was seen as a hero to some but as a greedy dictator to others. Napoleon almost took all of Europe under his control but while doing this, he would be changing the lives of the civilians he over through. When Napoleon took over a country, he would not only change the political stand point, but also the social and economic standpoint.  His impact on these three things would make some people believe that he was a great hero, but some would call him a dictator.

          

          When Napoleon took control of another country, he would immediately change the government. The people of that country would be under his control. When Napoleon was a ruler, many country's were under a monarchy rule. Once he took control of a county, he would destroy the monarchy and declare himself as the ruler. This could be good for the the workers on the lands of the monarchs, but it would anger the monarchs because they would loose all of their power. Not all countries were monarchy's, but in the end, if Napoleon took over their country, they would lose power. Marshal Michel Ney was an officer in one of the country's that Napoleon took over.  He stated "Our sovereign, belongs alone the right to rule over our beautiful country". He opposed Napoleon because he wanted his country to go back to the way it was so he could keep his high possession in the government. When Napoleon took control of another country the political system would change ans so would the economic system.

          When Napoleon took over another country, he would change the economics of that country too. When Napoleon took over another country, he would restore economic prosperity. He would control prices, encouraged new industry, and build roads and canals. Napoleon also established the Bank of France which balanced the budget, and under took massive public building programs. Napoleon would also set up many University's in the countries that he conquered. While Napoleon improved upon the economic situations in the countries he conquered, he would also impact the social systems in the countries he took over too.

          When Napoleon took over a country, he would change the citizens lives forever. He would end serfdom's and then the lower class citizens would be free. The lower class citizens made up a huge part of the civilization back in Napoleons time so it would have a  great impact on the social system in Europe. Also under Napoleons rule, the citizens would have the right to properties and could have got an education. Another thing that Napoleon did was redraw the map of Europe. This could be seen as a bad or good thing by certain countries because they did not want to be under Napoleons control. This could impact the social system of the counties he conquered because they citizens might have disliked Napoleon and did not want to be under his controls.

         Napoleon Bonaparte took over many countries in his life time. Once he took control of a country, he would change the civilians lives forever. He would have a large impact on the political, economic, and social systems in those countries.
