Does anyone know what Napoleon's bureaucracy was based on? Also, the three parts of Napoleon's Grand Empire and Russia's strategy to defeat Napoleon. I've looked in my textbook along with many history sites and google. Help please? <3
Second Russia used the cold against France. Russia knew the french would not be prepared so they would run and let the french troops freeze. Withot any shelter they could not get warm.
Eventually France had to retreat due to massive loss of men. Disease spread, they starved, and froze to death. As France marched back Russian soldiers and calvarymen would pick off more of the army. Napolean lost 400,000 men trying to invade Russia.
I dont know what you mean by "What was his bureaucracy was based on?"so Ill give you this
Napoleons Bureaucracy was based on this:
"I wished to found a European system, a European Code of Laws, a European judiciary: there would be but one people in Europe,"
He wanted to be "The United States of Europe" Where everyone co-existed peacefully and equally.
Being An admirer of Alexander the Great, Napoleon created a new system in Europe that in some ways mimicked the ancient Macedonian Empire. Just as Alexander was king of Macedon, hegemon of the Corinthian League, great king of Persia, and pharaoh of Egypt, Napoleon was emperor of France, king of Italy, mediator of the Swiss Confederation, and protector of the Confederation of the Rhine.
Like the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian the Great, Napoleon wished to give to his empire a unified code of law which is known as the Napoleonic Code, something which has influenced European law and even the law in Quebec and Louisiana to this day.
Also what do you mean by "3 parts of Napoleons Grand Empire?"
Clarify this for me and Ill see if I can answer it for ya, but hopefully what I gave you there will help some.
