Napoleonic Wars

It restored it to the Monarchy.

The British were resentful of the amount of exports the colonies were sending to other European countries and believed they were entitled to this profit, as the mother country. They initially sought to restrict trade from the colonies to Europe, but smuggling made this hard to enforce. When they attempted to levy taxes on the colonies, this too was protested. As a result, Parliament launched a series of Intolerable Acts that were aimed at subjugating the colonists. The colonists pleas for representation was ignored, paving the way for revolution.

The first battle was indeed Fort Sumter, but two Federals died during the surrender ceremony when their cannon blew up. Bull Run (AKA Battle of Mananas) was the 3rd battle of the war after the Battle of Rich Mountain where 40 Union soldier were killed and 140 Rebels. They were the first direct casualties including the first officer killed.

The French Army of Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated and France and the Allies were not disposed to allow Napoleon to raise another army which would bleed the country of more men for his ambitions.

Waterloo June 18th 1815 was fought between the French and the British & Prussians. 2 days earlier Marshal Ney had fought Wellington at Quatre Bras, a draw, & Napoleon had defeated Bluchers' Prussians at Ligny. A great many of Wellingtons veterans of the Peninsular war (Spain & Portiugal) had been sent off to the USA, therefore much of Wellingtons' forces were made up with the aid of allies from Belgium & Holland, a lot of whom had previously served Napoleon previously.(For example Nassauers changed sides in Spain in 1812) After Ligny Napoleon detached a corps under Marshal Grouchy to chase off the Prussians & he marched north in pursuit of the British. Oh, how it rained ! The ground was so damp & waterlogged that the French needed time on the morning of the 18th to move all their artillery into place, the British were assembled across a fairly shallow valley, atop Mont st Jean. There were 3 strongpoints on the British side of the valley : Hougoumont, a farmhouse with a walled garden; La Haye Sainte, in the centre, on the main road, farm buildings; & Papelotte/la Haye, more buildings which could be fortified on the British left. It deserves saying that the French approach to the battle, up to this point, is a model of military excellence. Unfortunately it is about to all go wrong for the French! Grouchy has not followed the main body of the Prussians, he's pursuing stragglers, the first salvoes are fired at Waterloo & it is suggested that Grouchy should now march to the guns..... He does not heed the sage advice ! To cut a long battle short Blucher does not march east, but north after Ligny & therefore is in position to intervene on the British left in the afternoon & evening of the 18th: But had Blucher not aided the British then the result would have been victory for the French, unfortunately for Napoleon the Prussians, though many of doubtful quality, are simply far too numerous and the French reserves are exhausted. Napoleon's return to the battlefield after Elba, the Hundred Days, is a great example of a military campaign, its culmination, Waterloo was a splendid though very bloody battle: A near run thing indeed.

Alright, the more political/sensible answer that i would thought of is when the whole world, i mean the whole world is affected.

For such cases like the recent Iraq War is not really a world war. But according to history records, World War 1 & 2 are define as 'world wars' is because they involved most major power countries (capable of causing military destructive) to the world are involved such as 'Russia, US, British, Germany etc' and other countries which are co-dependant on each other were greatly affected due to the fact that the main countries would be concentrating on the war, not so much concern about other matters around the world. Therefore other countries would became 'stagant' in a way. If all the countries are affected by the war and Half the world is invovled in the war then it is a world war

A "nation in arms" refers to a situation where the entire population of a country mobilizes for military service in defense of the nation, often during times of war or national crisis. This concept emphasizes the collective responsibility of citizens to protect their homeland, transcending traditional military structures. It highlights the idea of civic duty and unity in the face of external threats, often fostering a strong sense of patriotism and solidarity among the populace.

It changed from a limited war that preserved the union, to a war that abolished slavery for a few reasons. 1. The Trent Affair made Europe mad, and they were going to help the South in the war. Europe "needed" the souths cotton. So Lincoln made a formal appology to Europe saying that they intended to end slavery. This made Europe happy because they despised slavery. 2. This also kept Europe out of the war. Which is good because the south already had the upper hand with General Lee as their commander. If the south had Europes help, the north wouldn't have won.

Napoleon won so many wars thanks:

1- his strategic, tactical and logistical genius;

2 -the improvement he was able to bring in the French Army, making it the best in Europe;

3 - his political ability;

4 - the obsolete way of fighting of the adversary coalitions' armies, which endured until about 1812.

The Warhawks wanted war against Great Britain because England was providing arms and ammunition to the Indian tribes to fight against the United States. While Andrew Jackson defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans and in a few other battles, most of his battles were against Indians. Many of the battles in the North West were against the Indians. While the battle of Tippecanoe was fought in 1810, a number of skirmishes against the Indians were fought later.

There were seven wars, called war of the coalitions. Ex: War of the first caolition. France won 5 out of the 7 wars but ultimately lost the Napoleonic Wars. But 5 out of 7 wars isn't bad.

Both sides remained fundamentally unsatisfied with the terms of the Peace of Amiens and the other settlements they signed in 1801 and 1802.

Great Britain had good reasons for being dissatisfied with the international situation in being after the Treaty of Amiens, that is:

1- it became soon evident that Napoleon was resolute to bar the British influence on the continent by all means, open or hidden;

2 - Great Britain tried to negotiate a new commercial treaty between the two countries, but the proposal had been rejected by France;

3 - France kept de facto the control over Antwerp and the Scheldt Estuary'were two vital places for the British security, which Great Britain, since from the medieval times, couldn't "tolerate" of being dominated or easily bound to fall under the rule of a potentially hostile country;

4 - claiming various excuses Napoleon carried out between 1801 and 1802 the occupation or the veiled control, one after the other, of Piedmont, the Elba, Parma, Switzerland and the Netherlands. In so doing he made Great Britain aware that Napoleon's territorial ambitions were far for being satisfied and that attitude was leading to set up a real threat to the British trade markets on the continent;

5 - thanks to the somewhat lenient condition of peace afforded, France was restored to its rank of naval power in the Mediterranean and as a colonial power especially in the Caribbean. That opened the gate to Napoleon's initiatives in those fields, like the military expedition to Haiti, the sell of the Louisiana territories to the United States, the renewed French aims towards the Syria and last but not least the announced French expedition to India which hurt the relevant British interests and raised the friction between the two countries.

In March 1803, the situation evolved to an escalation that would led to the war, despite the sincere tentatives of the France Foreign Minister Talleyrand to find out a compromise which would save the peace:

- on May 10,1803, the British Prime Minister Addington, well aware that Napoleon was not yet ready for the war sent a virtual ultimatum to France;

- the French government reacted by the mobilization of 160,000 men to be deployed on the coast of the English Channel;

- Great Britain ordered the "embargo" upon all French ships standing in the British ports;

- Napoleon replied ordering all British subjects resident in France and its satellite countries or in transit through were to be arrested;

- On May 15 1803, France declared war on Great Britain, firing the first shots against a British frigate, when a French convoy in the Channel met her by chance.

They really didn't fear anything about the war(other than death.) I read that the didn't even oppose of it.

Its significance is hotly debated. The British will tell you that it put an end to Napoleon's domination of Europe, but others believe that it might well have only led to another, similar battle at a later date. In essence, Napoleon had left his exile on Elba and attempted to reconstitute his empire. It has been argued that he wanted only France, and was hoping to obtain a position in which he could sue for peace, but this is probably beside the point. in seven wars, seven coalitions had opposed him, and his defeat at Waterloo--after a march towards Brussels, Belgium, in which he successfully divided the Prussian and Allied (British, Dutch, and Hanoverian) armies--signified the end of his Empire and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. It was the end of a period which saw the introduction of functioning modern democracies and meritocracies, but it resulted, nonetheless, in an age of revolution and anticolonialism. Shortly thereafter, espousing principles borrowed from the French and American Revolutions and Napoleon Bonaparte, Colonies around the world were liberated from their imperial masters and made independent. Revolutions sprang up in South and Central America (as under Simon Bolivar), and elsewhere, but were in other places unsuccessful, as in the cases of Upper and Lower Canada in 1837.

18 June 1815. Wellington describes it as a 'near run thing', and the French, led by Napoleon were unfortunate in allowing the Prussians to come to Wellingtons aid in the afternoon. Ney & Grouchy are generally blamed for this battles defeat. Had the French won then you can be sure Napoleon would have claimed it as his own, therefore Napoleon must accept his ultimate defeat. Another problem of note for the French, obliged to attack, was the weather. The rain prevented their precipitate positioning of the artillery prior to their attack & delayed the onset of the fighting until late morning of the 18th. By nightfall of a very long, hard fought day the French were defeated, Bluchers' cavalry pursuing them south despite Cambronnes' memorable (Alleged) quote !

Some important events were the battle on july 17 and the One on agust 5.

During the early nineteenth century, the United States was suffering from sectionalism and slavery issues. The country was having much trouble to please both the North and the South, due to the fact that the North wanted to abolish slavery, while the South thought it was necessary to continue the use of it. As the United States tried to create compromises, either the North or the South would disagree with the compromise. Once South Carolina had threatened to secede the Union due to the Compromise of 1833, Due to the Tariff of Abomination, the Compromise of 1833 is what convinced South Carolina not to secede. In order to preserve the Union, Congress created compromises that by 1860 had not satisfied the opposing views on issues regarding states rights and slavery.

With the North and the South disputing over slavery, the Missouri Compromise was drawn up to satisfy the rights between the two feuding areas. This Compromise solved the issue on the annexation of Missouri by allowing Missouri to enter as a slave state, but at the same time admitted Maine as free state in order to keep the balance. At the same time, the 36'30 line was created, which stated that everything above the line was free and everything below the line was slave. This Compromise did settle the arguments that had erupted, but there were still the citizens who were strongly opposing either slavery or free states. These certain citizens wanted the entire nation to be entirely slavery or entirely free. However, once Jackson put a high tariff on Northern goods being transported, things took a turn for the worse.

With this new tariff of abominations in play, South Carolina felt that it was absurd and over priced. Once they tried to nullify this overly priced tariff, they were denied the right, which led up to South Carolina threatening to secede. They felt as if their rights as a state would give them the right to nullify a tariff such as this one. Once Jackson found out that South Carolina threatened to secede, he stated that he was going to send his army and hang anybody who secedes. With all of this commotion, Henry Clay drafted the Compromise of 1833, which lowered the tariff of abominations by 10%. This pleased South Carolina, and prevented them from seceding.

Slavery still was not a settled issue, and was rising as more dogmatic people were speaking up. The South was then able to disable any form of anti-slavery petition from being read by Congress. With this new belief, known as the Gag Resolution, all bills and papers pertaining to slavery was tabled. Anti-Slavery people felt as if their rights were being disrupted since under the first amendment, they had a right to petition. Since the United States was expanding, the nation was having trouble with the feuding north and south on slavery.

Once California was annexed as a free state, the south grew fear of the north over powering them. With this in mind, tension and sectionalism grew in the south causing Congress to draft something to please them. Once the Compromise of 1850 was created, and as a result Stricter Fugitive Slave laws were created, galvanizing the north to fight back. The north felt as if the new laws on slavery were against their states rights in Article IV, which allowed for a slave to escape into a different state and to be under the laws of the new state they are in. This caused the north to bring this issue all the way up to the Supreme Court in the case known as Prigg V. PA. At the same time, the Mexican Cession was established into the Utah and New Mexico Territory. Within these territories, the Compromise suggested that popular sovereignty would be used to solve the issue on whether the territory was slave or free. This made the north even more furious due to the fact that they wanted an end to slavery.

Slavery was growing and causing sectionalism between the north and the south. Dred Scott, a slave who had traveled between the north and the south with his owner, attempted to bring a case to the Supreme Court and prove that since he has lived in the north, he is free. Scott's plan back fired, in the case Dred Scott v. Stanford when Roger Taney ruled that al African American's were not citizen's of the United States, and also declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional stating that it takes away from a person property. This pleased the south, but angered the north. As a result, a majority of the northerners did not follow these new rules and still aided slaves for their quest for freedom. With new states being admitted into the nation, Congress sought to create a compromise that would settle the feuding north and south.

Once Kansas and Nebraska's territory was settled, the issue of whether they were a free or slave state became a problem. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was enacted in order to help settle the disputes. This act perturbed that north because of the fact that it repealed the Compromise of 1820. Kansas and Nebraska were allowed to choose through Popular Sovereignty and vote whether they were a free state or a slave state. With this idea, the New England Emigrant Aid Society paid anti-slavery supporters to move Kansas in order to create the state a free state. At the same time, the southern Boarder Ruffians told pro-slavery supporters to move to Kansas to vote for it to become a slave state. With all of this chaos, the Boarder Ruffians went into an anti-slavery area and burnt it down. With Bleeding Kansas occurring, Preston Smith Brooks who was a Democratic Congressman from South Carolina physically attacked Senator Charles Sumner, beating him until his cane broke. In response, a zealot known as John Brown moved his family to Kansas. Once he found out about this situation, he commanded his sons to drag the men who started the fire out of their houses and gag them to death. This was known as the Pottawattamie Massacre, which shows how there is always different opposing views to situation and how it can get out of had from the strong supporters.

As a new Compromise was created, in order to improve it, Congress would create a new Compromise. With each Compromise, new issues would arise causing the United States to grow more sectionalism over states rights and slavery. Overall, Congress new that if a new Compromise were to be created, the opposing north and south would find something that wouldn't please themselves. With all of these new disputes, the nation's sectionalism was expanding, and becoming a major issue. The United States new that it was almost impossible to solve the disputes through Compromise, and they could tell that the brink of the Civil War was on its way.

His fatal march on Moscow, Russia caused the loss of over 400,000 men - the Russian winter of course :)

He also fought too many opponents at once. While fighting the Austrians, Prussians and Russians he had the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal to divert more of his men and resources.

Essentially: Napoleon's Ambition and dreams of Glory for the French,. Greed, maybe? The cause of these wars is because of the ambitions of one man, Napoleon. That is why they called it the Napoleonic Wars. But going deeper, you can blame the war on the French Revolution, as that is how Napoleon gained power. During the French Revolution, Britain and other countries declared on France for killing the monarchy, starting a series of major wars that will last until 1815.

Uh... it would be a trip, but if you go to the Historical Archives in Berlin, Germany you probably could find something...

This effect the United States because the French took the United States ships and stole all there supplies.

Napoleon needed money so in 1803 he sold the Louisiana Territory to the US at a real cheap deal. This opened up all the land west of the Mississippi River for expansion and exporation.

American uniforms were changed to reflect those worn by the European countries. This is seen in the high collars, braid on the front of the tunic and the shako hats.

The War of 1812 opened up hostilities with Britain over some issues that had not been settled from the Revolutionary Wars. The British burned the White House and caused other damages. However the US held out and beat the British. The last battle was the Battle of New Orleans, where some of same British regiments were defeated that had fought against Napoleon at Waterloo.

Of course it was a war you idiot, they only called it a conflict because they didn't want to sign a war declaration and if anyone copies my answer I'll hurt them severely.

Of course it was a war! The Americans only call it a conflict because they did not want to sign a war declaration.

The question as posed is unanswerable. Napoleon invaded many cities, states, and empires and in each invasion there were at least two armies (the French army and the army of the invaded country). As a result, without clarifying which invasion we are talking about and which army in that invasion, this question is impossible to answer.
