Napoleon Builds an Empire

Section 4: The Age of Napoleon

Napoleon’s armies invaded and annexed the

Netherlands, Belgium, and parts of Italy and

Germany. In lands he didn’t control militarily,

he tried to place friends and relatives in

positions of power. Britain, however,

successfully resisted Napoleon’s actions

through the force of its navy.

Section 4: The Age of Napoleon

When Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, other countries began to revolt against French

occupation and culture. There were not enough soldiers to secure each territory and strike at

Russia. To make matters worse, Russian troops had burned crops and villages along the French

route, leaving them without food or shelter during the brutal winter.

Napoleon Falls from Power

France’s Russian disaster gave birth to the alliance of Russia, Britain, Austria, and Prussia. They

defeated France in 1813. Napoleon was sent into exile on the island of Elba, and the monarchy

was restored in France. Napoleon then escaped Elba and returned to rule for a short time, until

his troops were beaten again in battle. He died while in exile on the island of St. Helena, but his

conquests helped to spread the ideas of the French revolution throughout Europe and Russia.

soon enough.
