| ARTICLES RELATED TO 18 Brumaire | | | | |  18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Lucien Bonaparte - Later yearsWith the pope a prisoner of Napoleon in 1809, Lucien was sailing for the United States, when he was captured instead by the British and passed the years 1810 to 1814 as a prisoner of the British, settled comfortably in the English countryside, and working on a heroic poem on the subject of Charlemagne. He was even omitted from the Imperial almanachs listing the Bonapartes from 1811.
Then, in the "Hundred Days" after Napoleon's return from exile at Elba, Lucien rallied to the imperial cause. Though he was proscribed at the Restoration ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Charles Maurice de Talleyrand - French Empire In March 1804, he may have been involved in the kidnapping and execution of the Duke of Enghien; this remains one of history's great mysteries. It is an accusation made by Napoleon, and seconded much later by Chateaubriand, but the charge is both out of character (Talleyrand consistently advocated against violence, most notably speaking out against the guillotine, and and during the Coup Brumaire, assuring that Barras could leave Paris safely), and the question remains: Why would he advocate such a measure? While the killing of the duc d'Eng ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Charles Maurice de Talleyrand - Restoration When Napoleon was succeeded by Louis XVIII in April 1814, Talleyrand was one of the key creators of the restoration of the Bourbons while opposing the new legislation of Louis's rule. Tsar Alexander would probably not have leaned that way, but Talleyrand wanted the restoration of Louis XVIII. Talleyrand was the chief French negotiator at the Congress of Vienna, and, in that same year, he signed the Treaty of Paris. It was due, in part, to his skills that the terms of the treaty were remarkably lenient towards France. At the start, only four ...

Whilst there, with a small cadre of followers, he dictated his memoirs and criticized his captors. Sick for much his time on Saint Helena, Napoleon died, on 5 May 1821. His last words were: "France, the Army, head of the Army, Joséphine".
Napoléon had asked in his will to be buried on the banks of the Seine, but was buried on Saint Helena. In 1840, his remains were taken to France in the frigate Belle-Poule and entombed in Les Inval ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès - Cambacérès and homosexuality It is widely believed that Cambacérès used the Code Napoléon (or rather, the associated Penal Code) to decriminalise male homosexuality, and the fact that he was himself homosexual gives credibility to this belief. His sexual orientation was well-known, and he does not seem to have made any effort to conceal it. He remained unmarried, and kept to the company of other bachelors. Napoléon is recorded as making a number of jokes on the subject. During the Consulate, Bonaparte, Cambacérès and Thir ...

Napoleon I of France - The whiff of grapeshot.
In 1795, Bonaparte was serving in Paris when royalists and counter-revolutionaries organized an armed protest against the National Convention on 3 October. Bonaparte was given command of the improvised forces defending the Convention in the Tuileries Palace. He seized artillery pieces with the aid of a young cavalry officer, Joachim Murat, who later became his brother-in-law. He utilized the artillery the following day to repel the attackers. He later boasted that he ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Charles Maurice de Talleyrand - French Empire In March 1804, he was involved in the kidnapping and execution of the Duke of Enghien. In response to those events, and once again, to avert any blame from himself, he made what was perhaps his most famous quip: "That was worse than a crime; it was a mistake". In May 1804, Napoleon made him Grand Chamberlain and Vice-elector of the Empire. During this year, Talleyrand also bought the Chateau Valençay. In 1806, he was made Sovereign Prince of Benevento (or Bénévent). Talleyrand was against the crude treatment of Prussia in the Peace of Til ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - History of Europe - The English Civil War and Unification with Scotland Main article: English Civil War
The first and foremost cause of the War was religion. When Charles became King in 1625 his Arminian style of Anglicanism and French Catholic wife seemed to herald a slide back toward Catholicism and popery. Additionally, he did not get along with Parliament, and unproductive sessions in the 1620s resulted in the closure of Parliament for 11 years. However, following the Scottish invasion in 1640 Charles was forced to call Parliament to raise money for an army. Parliament was furious and wanted it ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - History of Europe - Early Modern period: 16th 17th and 18th century The Reformation had profound effects on the unity of Europe. Not only were nations divided one from another by their religious orientation, but some states were torn apart internally by religious strife, avidly fostered by their external enemies. France suffered this fate in the 16th century in the series of conflicts known as the French Wars of Religion, which ended in the triumph of the Bourbon Dynasty. England avoided this fate for a while and settled down under Elizabeth to a moderate Anglicanism. Germany, divided into numerous small sta ...

In the 15th century, Portugal led the way in geographical exploration, followed by Spain in early 16th century, were the first states to set up colonies in South America and trade stations on the shores of Africa and Asia, but they were soon followed by France, England and the Netherlands.

By the late 18th century France's finances were in disarray. Lavish royal expenditure and costly wars, such as the French intervention in the American war of Independence, had bankrupted the state. After repeated failed attempts at financial reform, Louis XVI was persuaded to convene the Estates-General, a representative body of the country made up of three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The members of the Estates-General assembled in Versaille in May 1789, but the debate a ...

It was held in Vienna from 1 October 1814, to 9 June 1815. The discussions continued despite Napoleon's return and the Congress's Final Act was signed nine days before his final defeat at Waterloo. The Congress was concerned with determining the entire shape of Europe after the Napoleonic wars, with the exception of the terms of peace with France, which had ...

| | | | | 18 Brumaire: Encyclopedia II - Napoleonic Wars - The Third Coalition Napoleon planned an invasion of the British Isles, and massed 180,000 troops at Boulogne. However, he needed to achieve naval superiority to mount his invasion, or at least to pull the British fleet away from the English Channel. A complex plan to distract the British by threatening their possessions in the West Indies failed when a Franco-Spanish fleet under Admiral Villeneuve turned back after an inconclusive action off Cape Finisterre. Villeneuve was blockaded in Cádiz until he left for Naples on October 19, but was caught and defeated a ...

However, their efforts were unable to stop the spread of revolutionary movements: the middle classes had been deeply influenced by the ideals of democracy of the French revolution, the Industrial Revolution brought important economical and social changes, the lower classes started to be influenced by Socialist, Communist and Anarchistic ideas (especially those summarized by Karl Marx in the Manifesto of the Communist Par ...

Contrariwise, the Church was losing much of its power because of corruption, internal conflicts, and the spread of culture leading to the artistic, philosophical, ...

A new, more contemporary form of military intervention which some regard as a coup d'état is simple threat of military force to remove a particularly unpopular leader. This has occurred twice in the Philippines. In contrast to previous coups d'état, the military does not directly assume power, but rather serves as an arbiter for civilian leaders.
In recent years mass street protests have also often been able to force unpopular and corrupt leaders fr ...
