Name: Deana Rueda Period: 3 Hw Packet #5 - Napoleon Term: Definition: Concordat The concordat was an agreement made in 1801 between Napoleon and the roman catholic church through the pope. It restored the church’s influence in France but allowed the French state to keep lands seized during the revolution. Clergy salaries were paid by the state, and freedom of religion was extended to protestants and Jews. This was significant because it brought political stability by ending conflicts with the church and recognized Roman Catholic Christianity as the preferred faith of France. Civil Code The Civil code was a set of laws introduced by Napoleon in 1804 that helped stabilize French society and reformed France’s legal system. It affirmed the political and legal equality of all men and established a merit based society in which individuals qualified for education and employment because of talent rather than social standing or birth. This is significant because it guaranteed equality, protected property and overall created a fair united legal system in France during Napoleon's reign. Grand Army Napoleon led a Grand Army of 600,000 soldiers to Moscow. It included French soldiers and troops from other nations. It was active during 1812, reaching its peak during Napoleon’s campaigns, including the invasion of Russia in 1812. The grand army was significant because it showcased how Napoleon ran a military and allowed him to expand control across Europe. However, even though it showed Napoleon’s dominance in France, it also foreshadowed his downfall. Russian Campaign The Russian Campaign refers to the invasion of Russia led by Napoleon in 1812. It was intended to punish Russia for conspiring with his British enemies. It began in June 1812 and ended in the winter. The Russian Campaign is significant because it marked the beginning of Napoleon's downfall with the loss of his army weakening France’s military power. This led to his exile and death afterwards, ending his reign in 1821. Waterloo The Battle of Waterloo was Napoleon’s final defeat taking place 100 days after his escape from exile on Elba. It was fought in Belgium. This is important because it ended Napoleon’s reign permanently. He was exiled to St. Helena where he remained until his death in 1821. The battle reformed European politics. Haitian Revolution The Haitian revolution was the only successful slave revolt on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It began in 1791, inspired by the ideas of the french revolution and the american revolution. Haiti declared independence on January 1, 1804. This revolution is important because it was the first and only successful slave revolt in history, establishing Haiti as the second independent nation in the Western hemisphere. Toussaint Louverture Toussaint Louverture was a slave in Saint-Domingue who became a leader of the Haitian revolution. Toussaint led enslaved Africans in a revolt against French rule. He organized a strong army and in 1801, he created a constitution that granted equality and citizenship to all residents of Saint-Domingue. He helped secure control of the colony from French forces but was captured in 1802 and died in a French prison in 1803. This is significant because he partook in the first successful slave revolt in history. His leadership marked the beginning of Haiti’s independence in 1804. 1.​ Briefly explain ONE example of how Napoleon embraced elements of the ideals from the French Revolution.

Napoleon rejected elements of the French Revolution when he limited political freedom to the people. He supported equality but not freedom of speech or democracy. The revolution was more for the freedom of the people, but Napoleon wanted power over France for himself. He also rejected the ideals of the French Revolution when the concordat was established and it recognized Roman Catholic Christianity as the preferred faith of France. However, the French revolution had removed the ideas of Roman Catholic Christianity and even added a 10 day calendar to avoid Sunday which was involved with religion.
