The last cause I will talk about is imperialism because a lot of this was trying I happen.…

The Napoleonic regime was undeniably militaristic in nature and the existence of widespread conscription clearly highlights this. In the past historians have often regarded the empire as being purely a military enterprise. For example Georges Lefebvre branded the empire a ‘military dictatorship’. However, as contemporary historians have argued, it cannot be considered to have purely been…
