Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant?

History is subject to interpretation. People and events are viewed in different ways by different people for different reasons. Here is your chance to be a historian!
Your task is to write a one page analysis to decide if Napoleon was either a tyrant or hero.

Choose a search engine or any of the research tools that Mr. Miller has mentioned- we have some great research products at WMHS thanks to the tireless work of the brilliant library staff. We hope you take this opportunity to become familiar with them…

As you research, it would be advisable to keep these questions in mind, as a sort of a compass directing your search.

Did Napoleon do more to preserve the gains of the French Revolution, or more to destroy them?

Napoleon became Emperor with the enthusiastic support of the people. How does that circumstance affect your opinion?

Can a conqueror be also a hero?

Did Napoleon conquer others for his own glory, or did he have more noble motives?

Check out these keywords or phrases: Napoleon, Code Napoleon (or Napoleonic Code), Continental System, Legion of Honor, Coup d’Etat, Berlin and Milan Decrees, Bank of France.

REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST USE AND LIST AT LEAST FOUR SOURCES TO LOOK AT THIS HISTORICAL PROBLEM-

OPINION IS COOL, BUT BACK UP YOUR OPINIONS!!!
