Did Napoleon return church lands to the pope and clergy?

Napoleon did not fully return church lands to the pope and clergy after the French Revolution. Instead, he established the Concordat of 1801, which recognized Catholicism as the religion of the majority while maintaining state control over church appointments and property. Although some church lands were returned, many remained in state hands, and the Catholic Church's power was significantly curtailed under Napoleon's regime.

When Napoleon seized power, he curtailed several important rights, particularly those related to political freedom and expression.

Chief contributions of Napoleon to the French Revolution?

Napoleon Bonaparte created the L'Arc de Triumphe with his bare hands. He was a father of12. All boys. their names are (from oldest to youngest) Jean, Pierre, Nicolas, Christophe, Henry, Zachary, Grant, Alexander, Reggie, Michael, Larue, and Aaron. He was the king of all murderers and he disgraced the french name and ate all of the country's Danishes. The Above is total nonsense. Yes, Napoleon ordered the Arc de Triomphe constructed, but not with his bare hands. He had one legitimate child and two acknowledged illegitimate children. The last sentence doesn't even deserve a response. Napoleon contributed much to his country, and Europe. Some of his longest-lasting contributions include the Napoleonic Code, a law code, and the Feelings of nationalism his army and conquests spawned gave birth to many other nationalist movements across Europe, along with spreading the Revolution's Principles. Physically, Napoleon order several buildings constructed and gave Paris a 'facelift', improving its aesthetic appearance. He Revolutionised warfare, introduced mass conscription and the concept of total war. Napoleon also had contributions in the arts, sponsoring many painters, sculptors and composers.


How is the rise of napoleon reactionary?

The rise of Napoleon Bonaparte can be seen as reactionary in that it marked a departure from the revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that characterized the French Revolution. Instead of fostering a democratic government, Napoleon established an authoritarian regime, centralizing power in his hands and curtailing political freedoms. His rule emphasized stability and order over the revolutionary fervor, often reverting to traditional hierarchies and practices, such as the reinstatement of a form of nobility and the promotion of meritocracy that favored loyalty to the state over democratic participation. Thus, while he maintained some revolutionary reforms, his governance ultimately sought to stabilize and control rather than liberate.

What was the primary reason Great Britain worked with the United States to enforce the Monroe Doctrine?

After the French Revolution, all of Europe was in turmoil. England had its hands full fighting Napoleon. England felt it could work with the Americans, and it was in its interests to allow them to "patrol the back door", as it were, and keep the French (and later, Prussians and Austrians) from flanking them in the New World. It freed their resources for the main battles in Europe itself.

How is the French flag linked to the French Revolution?

Just after the French Revolution, the King Louis XVI had to accept to wear la cocarde, which is a circle ribbon composed of three colors, blue, white, and red. At this time, the blue and red colors represented the city of Paris, which was the center of the Revolution. The white color represented the Kings of France, such as the lily flower. The message of the flag was so : The King is now between the hands of Paris (until the Revolution, the King lived in Versailles).

A pope is not higher than a king. When kings would ask the pope to hand them power because they believed they were chosen by god to be king. This stopped when Napoleon in the French Revolution took the crown from the pope's hands and placed it upon himself.


Did the French Revolution or American Revolution have a greater impact on the world?

I would say American Revolution because it was known as a 'world war' at that time. It also told countries that the 13 colonies were now known as the United Stated is America. The American Revolution had a greater impact. The French Revolution gained strength and motivation from the Americans. The US Constitution remains the oldest document that continues to maintain a democracy. I would agree as well. While the French Revolution seems to be more revered around the world, the fact remains that the French were highly inspired by the Americans' successful revolution less than ten years prior. The Americans showed that it was possible for the people to overtake a monarchy. Of course, the French fell victim to their own revolution as did the English and both restored monarchical-type rulers. The American Revolution remains singular in that it didn't fall into the hands of a dictator/tyrant/monarch.
