Conclusion

Effect that Napoleon had on Nationalism:

Nationalism emerged from the French Revolution which was used by Napoleon to make France a great power, and to make other empires fall. The more and more better things Napoleon did, the greater the nationalism became in France. When he abdicated, and the new king (Louis XVIII) came to power, nationalism became limited. Then, once again Napoleon came to power and upped the moral of the people, making him gain even more supporters. Then when he had been exiled for the second time, there was no collapse in nationalism, just a decline.

I think even though one country overpowered another country , it seemed they never gave up and they all maintained nationalism. The more victories they had, the more nationalistic they became.

The Bonaparte family's home in Ajaccio was a big building that was comfortable for Napoleon and his brothers and sisters. All were born on the first floor of the the house except Joseph. Napoleon was Born: August 15th 1769 in Ajaccio, Corsia.

Napoleon was exiled for the first time by the Allied governments to Elba after his abdication at Fontainebleau and landed on the island on May 4th 1814. He began his exile with a reform of the governmental system on the island, which is Italy's third biggest and lies just off the coast of Tuscany.

Napoleon was sent into his final exile on the island of St. Helena, where he Died: 5th May 1821. His body was returned to Paris in 1840, and his tomb remains an attraction. Napoleon died of an unidentified cause, possibly stomach cancer; because traces of arsenic were later found in his body, some have said he might of been fatally poisoned.
