French Revolution, Part 7: Napoleonic Wars Concluded (G213)

G – History

Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | February 5, 2025-May 7, 2025

Wednesday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

The French Empire stood at its peak from 1807 to 1812, but Napoleon made the fateful decision for a second attack on Austria, for which he needed Russian support. Not obtaining it, he invaded Russia and suffered an epic disaster. He could have survived, but the allies now knew his military methods, and defeat followed. There were continuities and changes across the years of the revolution and Napoleon. Also, major legacies played out over the next century, especially liberalism, democracy and nationalism. These are the meanings behind this era of history.

Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus (LINK COMING SOON).

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
