Napoleon impacted the social
systems of Europe in a negative way for wealthy people. Shortly after
overthrowing the Directory, Napoleon said to one of Madame de Stael’s friends, “It
is necessary to do something new every three months, in order to captivate the
imagination of the French nation, with whom anyone who stands still is lost.” Madame
de Stael was part of the nobility, so with the social system change because of
Napoleon, she would have no more luxury than all the other citizens. Madame de
Stael says, “His system was to encroach (intrude) daily upon France’s liberty
and Europe’s independence…By altering between cunning and force he has
subjugate (conquered) Europe.” Madame de Stael was the daughter of one of King
Louis XVI’s previous financial advisors, so she is at the top of society with
great benefits. After Napoleon impacted the social system, high classes,
including Madame de Stael, lose their luxurious advantages.
Political systems in Europe were
impacted in a positive way by Napoleon. The soldiers, officers, and
sub-officers that Napoleon worked with were thrilled to work for him. Marshal
Michel Ney said, “The times are gone the when people were governed by suppressing
their rights. Liberty triumphs in the end, and Napoleon, our august Emperor,
comes to confirm it.” Marshal Michel Ney was one of Napoleon’s soldiers. He
worked by Napoleon’s side and was influenced by Napoleon’s wonderful strategies.
Marshal Michel Ney was put in charge of the army and was made a hero by
Napoleon. Soldiers who worked for Napoleon thought of Napoleon as a fantastic political
leader. Napoleon came up with ideas in order to improve the political system
with war techniques and helpful ways to rule. The political systems were
improved in Europe from Napoleon’s amazing general skills.
Napoleon helped many Europeans in
the economic system. People were fascinated by Napoleon’s ways of ruling, so
they made a career out of exploring facts about napoleon. Thomas J. Vance
explained in The Lost Voices of Napoleonic Historians, “This passage
from Napoleon in Review (1939) is just one example of the lost voices of
historians who spent much of their lives pouring over Napoleonic research, but
whose books are now out-of-print and often inaccessible. The availability of
books on Napoleon Bonaparte has never been a problem; however, many interesting
works are becoming extinct.” These researches spent their time writing about
Napoleon’s life and those researchers made a living off of selling those books.
Those researchers can thank Napoleon for giving them a career. The economic
system was improved by Napoleon.
