Forced to deal with the continent, Napoleon had to abandon the romance of the invasion of England, the result would probably be a failure, certainly Allied invasion of France powers. But his affection was so great in this regard, IFS was before the medal struck to celebrate this victory, had a dream. Fled to assign, as usual, his designs abortion to his lieutenants, vrátaneAdmiral Villeneuve. His plans, others were ready for another combination, the fertility of the mind that would be foolish to ignore a lot, this is what he called “doing his theme in two ways” to be caught unprepared. While Europe was moving, so he took a party to and resolved immediately after the fall of Germany, of all forces, before the NATO intervention and Prussia.

Sent instructions to his lieutenants to Bernadotte, who commanded the army in Hanover, in Eugene, Italy, Saint-Cyr, the Marmont, etc. and then, rapidly growing camp of Boulogne, he manages that fine army of the Rhine, it is higher than 10/01/1805. After the brilliant fighting of Donawerth Wertingen of Cruntzbourg Elchingen and, from elsewhere, and won with a superior, settled at Dunaji.Rakúsky General Mack, locked in Ulm, is forced to capitulate and surrender the prisoner, with 30.000 hp and 3,000 men, 60 firearms (October 20). This amazing debut was unfortunately very sad maritime disaster Trafalgar (21 October), where our fleet, strong contingents from Spain, has been reduced by half, and lost to Nelson. Empire of the sea remained a decision in English. ”Either,” said Napoleon, I will beat England on the continent.”These words contain the seeds of the continental blockade. More, really, it was sometimes priaznivéABOUKIR, loss of Malta and the Ionian Sea islands, Trafalgar, the loss of St. Domingo, sales (forced), Louisiana, abortion actual invasion of England, etc. were actually more characteristic. The ocean was still under the domination of the British navy.

After the blow struck at Ulm, Napoleon marched on Vienna, hoping to advance his victory, and revised that Europe is already in his hot fantasies. Divided his army into seven entities, which together form the Grand Army, the name of a well-substantiated these wonderful troops and should remain history. The campaign continued through the capture of Vienna (15th November), with success Augereau aNey in Tyrol, for those of Massena in northern Italy, it carries the main army, small amounts of brilliant actions against the Russians and Austrians, and finally the immortal battle of Austerlitz (12.02.1805), attended the three emperors (Napoleon, Francis II, Alexander 1). This memorable victory could have a lasting and decisive results, but Napoleon was always intended to abuse of victory and happiness in the tired revised. Francis II, decreased in Hungary can not be prevented from having to humiliate, isolate the cause of Alexander, and finally subjected to the Treaty Pressburg (Dec. 26), which excite the whole of Germany. Austria lost Dalmatia and Albania, together with the French Empire, states of Venice, meeting the Kingdom of Italy (that is, the French Empire), as the Tyrol, annexed to Bavaria, built in the UK, Württemberg, Baden will be transformed and extended to the Duchy .

Finally, most small German Princes were under the protectorate of Napoleon, also called the marriage of Princess Catherine of Württemberg, with his brother Jerome (now married), and Princess Stephanie de Beauharnais, son of voter Baden. Through these alliances, the princes, received the sword in his hand, and he wanted to be adopted by the royal family in Europe, which he scornfully how Pave (more affected by the murder of Duc d’Enghien). Soon, the Kingdom of Naples, who was abducted Massena and St. Cyr, the Ferdinand IV, and given to Joseph Bonaparte, who accepted it with reluctance (March-July 1806) Grand Duchy of Berg seized Murat (March), Batavian Republic was transformed for the Kingdom of Holland Louis, another brother of the Emperor (5 June), Princess Pauline Borghese, invested with the Duchy of Guastalla, Neuchâtel, Switzerland and the Principality of Ponte Corvo built preBerthier and Bernadotte, the creation of a large number of fiefdoms, the actual allocations to the Marshal, and dignitaries (in the countries conquered or annexed) showed that Napoleon had no other purpose than to create all the parts of sovereign nations to reducing Vassalom have conquered and dominated nations of Europe. In addition, it means all these feudal lords, large or small, should be completely enslaved him and used to increase a man and stock. The feudal system introduced in place, the complete disdain for human rights and autonomy was only generate anywhere irreconcilable hatred against France, a major revolution in the fight for freedom is enjoyed by all nations.

Napoleon was so occupied in their dreams of renewal of the empire of Charlemagne, in full Carlovingian utopia, the alleged representative of the revolution (as in some schools), in fact, no other interest than restoring the old regime, as it was in it. Restores the nobility, reserving, of course, recognize only one he gave himself, he re-connected, despite the modern law. A little later, about to complete its system by tying noble titles for certain functions, the dignitaries were princes, Serene Highnesses, ministers and senators, it is calculated, senior judges and bishops, barons, etc. So, it restores the court, feudal nobility differences privileges dominant church, the excessive centralization that the administrative tyranny of the old regime, teaching field, chasing an independent school with regard to the sole of the University, from which it appeared that the introduction of the levy of intelligence, and to which he gave to the basics: a commandment Catholic religion, loyalty to the emperor 2, custodian of the lucky people, Napoleon Dynasty, etc. In short, the official cult of his own people.

Sunda elections, while the control and without publicity, personal freedom as all other freedoms, in fact renewed Lettres de CACHETTE, state prison, arbitrary arrests and extra-legal censorship and the power authority, without restriction and without mass-CONS only the principles of government, police , more vigorously and most abominable that ever was, one of the foundations of his power enslaved press and library, a monopoly of the Bank of France, suppress freedom of theater, enslaved their authoritarian rules for lawyers, notaries, lawyers, brokers, etc. , Makes the employee booklet, the law against a coalition of states that in case of dispute, the master will be taken at his word, etc., Finally, he put together of humanity as a kind of deity whose worship will be the most capricious and tyrannical and the most extravagant to be equally sacred. His work, his correspondence, so careful editing, however, known the details of its behavior, regardless of the recent work has increased, we know and fully appreciate that now idolatry, which placed him at the altar is almost nearly extinct, and no more how sad memory of slavery, intellectually, as an example of blindness caused by the glow of military glory.

The stranger, uncertain race who lived in past centuries, obsessed with the dream of royalty barbarians could subvert and subdue the French, but he never understood his genius and his mission of relief and civilization. Liberty, a popular liberation, human reason and science, security policies, social progress, working under the shelter of law, independence of nations and individuals, all these truths, foundations of modern societies, which have more to discover, from the eighteenth century a great revolution, said, enshrined in face of the world, it was not only foreign, but ugly. Despite the undisputed power of your mind and nobility of his theatrical imagination, it seems less radical and native, he was able to lift a simple concept of justice, law, common sense and truth. Not only morality there for him when his interests were at stake, he not only boasted cocksure overcome everything, both men and events, through terror, violence and fraud, but even this extraordinary adventurer came increasingly to ignore the limit, and finally as it would logically happen, he ran for his losses, he rushes headlong into the foolish business. As for violence, imprisonment and executions of orders, we lack space to store, but history is forgotten, and we know that the list is long and well-made stew outrage.
