Emerging Political Models

Lecture no. 47 from the course: Living the French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon

Emerging Political Models

Taught by Professor Suzanne M. Desan | 33 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online History Courses

Take a look at the politics of France after Napoleon. The nation had changed too much over the preceding 25 years to simply return to a stable monarchy. See the emergence of competing political models of conservatism, liberalism, and Bonapartism during the Bourbon Restoration of King Louis XVIII.

This lecture series has been monumental for my picture of the western world. I started watching this to understand where my ancestors came from as they migrated to the US between 1600-1800, but it ended up explaining the geopolitical set up for many of the major events I was aware of. I thought this would just be about a quick revolution but it was so much more. Thank you for this knowledge, fascinating and enthralling series.
