Southern New Hampshire Modern War and Society The French Revolution Discussion
I’m trying to study for my History course and I need some help to understand this question.
In this discussion, we will examine various aspects of the French Revolution. For your initial post, address one of the following:
• To what degree did the concept of a citizen soldier represent and influence the French Revolution, and how did this differ from monarchical armies of the era?
• Was the French Revolution purely a war fueled by patriotic motivations, and what evidence exists that political aims played a significant role as well?
• Were Napoleon’s successes on the battlefield (and ultimately his failures as well) evidence of his individual skill and harnessing of a new modern mode of war, or did he simply capitalize on the momentum of the revolution to seek personal glory?
