G – History
On-Demand (online viewing is on your own schedule)
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.
