Question 1
When Napoleon was told that he would not be allowed into Britain but wouldbeexiled to St Helena, he wrote a protest letter to the British government. This is part of it:

//Bonaparte's Protest// //On board the Bellerophon// //4th of August, 1815//
 * "I hereby solemnly protest against this injustice... I came freely on board the Bellerophon. I am not a prisoner. I am the guest of England... I gave myself up in good faith and claimed the protection of the English laws. If this act is carried out [exile to St Helena], it will be impossible for the English to talk about their integrity [good name], their laws and their liberty. British good faith will have been lost... I appeal to history..."**

a) Judging by what you have read in Chapters 3 and 4, what do you think there was in Napoleon's history that made the British send him without trial into exile on St Helena, rather than let him live in Britain? Napoleon is sent to St Helena because he was disliked, if not hated, by the British. He was disliked because he was the leader of a country that overthrew monarchy in which at the time, governed most of Europe, including Britain. He was also trying to invade other countries to expand France. One of these countries was in fact Britain. However, even when their invasion proved impossible, the concept had made the British angry.

b) Is there anything in Napoleon's history that makes you think he deserved fairer treatment than he got from the british? No, the British were nice enough to let him live. If the invasion of Britain had been successful, Napoleon would not show them the courtesy the British showed him [by sending him without trial to St Helena]. In his letter, he was incorrect on one account: that he wasn't a prisoner. He basically surrendered to the British, and he thought that act would set him free; making the British forget they ever gone to war.

Question 2

Question 4
Do you think any of the changes you have shown on your table could be described as improvements? Explain your answer. It were okay improvements. A drastic change was that the governments started to take power away from the Church. This was one of the major improvements.

Question 3
What connections were there between the changes that Napoleon made in Europe and the revolutions that took place in Europe between 1815 and 1848? People who were under France's control saw the good as well as the bad in revolution. The main thing that appealed to the people were that they saw a glimpse of human rights and equality. They wanted their saying in how their government in their country should be run, and soon revolutions occurred in Europe as they did in France.

Question 4
With the help of sources 4,6,7 and 8 in this chapter, explain why man people in Europe took part in revolutions during the nineteenth century. People saw that the countries that had revolutionized gave greater freedom and rights to the people, and this appealed to many. The people became in power, because they were the majority of the country. The people wanted to run their own country, not just let one person or group rule them.

Question 5
How do the following help to explain why millions of people joined in revolutions between 1789 and 1848? a) the condition in which they lived **[they were very poor and some had no homes]** b) the ways in which they were governed. **[lived under monarchy, absolutely no power in government]** c) the taxes they had to pay. **[even when they were poor, they payed the majority of the taxes in the country]** d) their feelings about their country. **[they wanted freedom, and a say in their government]**
