What country defeated Napoleon Bonaparte?

Napoleon was ultimately defeated at Waterloo in 1815 by the British with the (not inconsiderable) aid of Prussia. However this does nothing to mention what had happened at Wagram, Aspern-Essling, Borodino or Leipzig & elsewhere in previous times & in previous campaigns. Indeed many of Wellingtons allied forces at Waterloo had fought for Napoleon in previous years. Napoleon had run out of friends on the battlefield. No Saxons, Bavarians, Wurttembergers to do his bidding any more. Britain had been constant in opposition, but it was the loss of his continental allies which made the difference.


What decade did Napoleon Bonaparte become Emperor of France?

Oh, dear Heaven, no. Napoleon becoming Emperor put a temporary stop to the Revolution. First, there was the old Régime. The people weren't happy with that and blamed all their problems on the royal family, whom they killed, this period is called the French Revolution and started in 1789. This was followed by a constitution called the Directorate, which was replaced by another called the Consulate. Napoleon became Consul, then First Consul, and eventually commited a coup (in 1799) crowning himself emperor and thus turning France into an Empire. When Napoleon was defeated, the Old Régime was restored, then Napoleon came back and restored the Empire. Then out he went again, and the Old Régime lasted until 1830, when it was replaced by a constitutional monarchy under a different dynasty. In 1848 another revolution founded the Second Republic. The President of this restored the Empire under himself as Napoleon III, and lasted until 1870, when the Third Republic chased him out. That lasted until 1940 and the Vichy régime, and when that was defeated in 1945 a new constitution installed the Fourth Republic. That was dissolved in 1968 and the Fifth Republic came in, and so far has lasted. Since 1789 France has had 23 constitutions. So we know the Revolution started in 1789, and ended in 1799. Napoleon ended the revolution. If, indeed, it has ended. The point is, 'The French revolution' is a misleading term. There have been many. What Napoleon ended was simply the first attempt at a Republic.

What did Bismarck want to happen by sending the Ems Telegram to newspapers?

On July 13, 1870 at a resort in Bad Ems, Prussia, the king of Prussia met with a diplomat representing the Emperor of France, Napoleon III. Napoleon had threatened to go to war with Prussia if the king did not accept a few demands- the king politely refused when told by the diplomat. The king then allowed Bismarck to release a statement regarding what discussed in the meeting. Bismarck hoped to start a war with France. He (correctly) guessed that France would be easier to defeat than she seemed; but he needed France to actually declare war first. If France declared war first, then other German countries like Bavaria and Baden would be more likely to help Prussia. Also, powerful countries like Britain would be less likely to help France. Bismarck's hope was that victory against France would allow Prussia to take full control of Germany and officially unify as a new German Empire, and the king of Prussia would be its first Kaiser (Emperor). So Bismarck intentionally reworded the statement about the king's meeting. He didn't mention that the king was polite and conciliatory, and made it sound like the king had insulted the diplomat- which would've been the same as insulting Napoleon himself. Bismarck was correct in his assumptions. Napoleon was furious, and France declared war a few days later. Prussia defeated France in the short war, and even captured Napoleon himself at the climactic battle of Sedan. The German Empire was officially born on January 18, 1871; Napoleon was overthrown, and died a couple years later in exile in England.
