 Free Download Mike Rapport, "The Napoleonic Wars: A Very Short Introduction " English | ISBN: 0199590966 | 2013 | 144 pages | MOBI | 695 KB The Napoleonic Wars have an all-important place in the history of Europe, leaving their mark on European and world societies in a variety of ways. In many European countries, they provided the stimulus for radical social and political change-particularly in Spain, Germany, and Italy-and are frequently viewed in these places as the starting point of their modern histories. In this Very Short Introduction, Mike Rapport provides a compact overview of these pivotal wars. He begins with the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary wars of 1792-1803, which set the stage for the rise of Napoleon, and then examines the Napoleonic Wars in two acts-the years in which the French dominated the European landscape and the years when an allied Europe fought back, leading to Napoleon's final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. Rapport sheds light on the social, political, and institutional aspects of warfare in the Napoleonic era, and he provides a fascinating discussion of the ways and means with which these wars were fought, looking at the tactics, strategies, and weaponry of the time. Finally, he illuminates the significance of the wars, and their legacy, in both specific national contexts and from a wider global perspective. ![The Napoleonic Wars in 100 Facts [Audiobook]](https://i122.fastpic.org/big/2024/0122/1c/4781b10b7261677827f6c5b4864a741c.jpeg) Free Download The Napoleonic Wars in 100 Facts (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CP2ZH1SS | 2023 | 4 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 254 MB Author: Jem Duducu Narrator: Greg Chapman Sparked by the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars became one of the largest European conflicts in history as Napoleon fought to expand his French Empire.

It was a period famous for strategic warfare and cunning battle tactics. From this background emerged Nelson as national hero and politician. The Napoleonic Wars in 100 Facts covers the twenty-five years of war from the 1790s to the final victory in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. Jem Duducu guides us through some of the key figures and their stories, for example Wellington, Napoleon and Nelson, as well some of the major battles and tactics in this era of epic conflict that took British troops to Egypt, Argentina, America and of course a little town in Belgium called Waterloo.
