Napoléon et l'Europe

This book is the catalog of the exhibition "Napoleon and Europe," presented at the Museum de l'Armee, Paris, from 27 March to 14 July 2013. For nearly fifteen years of power, Napoleon deeply influenced France. How, in the same period, over the wars, conquests and the final failure, did he change Europe? What influence did he exert on the arts and ideas? What was his attitude toward the diverse and progressive national feelings in Italy, Germany, Poland and Spain? This work attempts to answer these questions and more in an effort to understand Napoleon's influence upon Europe.
