Rise and Rule of Napoleon :

Background:

The chaos of the French Revolution was the perfect setting for the meteoric rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was considered to be a military genius and often was able to be "at the right place at the right time." Within a few brief years, Napoleon rose from a mere army captain to the emperor of France.

**Essential Questions**:

 * Does the man make history or does history make the man?
 * Was Napoleon the rejection of the revolution or its completion?
 * How did Napoleon reshape Europe?
