1. How did Napoleon go about building his empire? Napoleon was known for his success on the battlefield; he took great risks and even suffered huge losses. He was a military leader that valued rapid movements and made effective use of his large armies. He always had a new plan for each battle therefore his enemies could never anticipate what he would do next. Napoleon withdrew the map of Europe, adding Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Italy and Germany to the areas of France.
2. What challenges came to his empire from Britain, Spain, Russia and Austria?
Spain was a challenge because they resisted the French and stayed loyal to their king and the Church. Spanish patriots conducted a plan to start a battle against the French. These attacks kept many French soldiers tied down to Spain. British sent an army to help fight against France. Spain encouraged Austria to resist France which made the French furious. After the French beat Austria in two battles, both countries agreed on signing a peace agreement. Russia was unhappy with the economic effects of Napoleon’s Continental System which led to the czar withdrawing Russia from it. France invaded Russia.
3. Why did the United States become involved in the war with Great Britain?
France and Britain had many problems which led to Britain having conflicts with the United States. British started a battle with the United States by attacking their American ships which angered many people. There were many attempts in which Great Britain tried imposing a blockade on France during the Napoleonic Wars which was a constant source of conflict with the United States. This event led to the War of 1812. Although British exports declined, its powerful navy kept open many trade routes to the Americas and India.
4. How was Napoleon eventually defeated?
The retreat from Moscow was the desperate battle for survival that was 1,000 miles. Russia, Britain Austria and Prussia brought a new alliance against France. After this alliance, Napoleon was defeated in the battle of Nations at Lepizig. Napoleon was forced to retire from power and victors exiled him to an island in the Mediterranean known as Elba. An economic depression feared the French people and Napoleon was asked to return to the old regime and take control of the country once again. Napoleon returned to France in the Battle of Waterloo, unfortunately for him his power only lasted One Hundred Days. Napoleon was forced to abdicate again and go on his final exile to St. Helena.

Another goal was to prevent political revolutions, such as the French Revolution and help maintain an organized government. Each of the leaders also had their own goals they wished to pursue. The Vienna statesmen achieved their immediate goals, but they failed to foresee how powerful new foresee such as nationalism would shake the foundations of Europe.
