Event Details

In 1789 French revolutionaries were inspired by dreams of Liberty, Fraternity and especially Equality. They overthrew the king, wrote the Rights of Man, and established a republic. After ten years of bloodshed and chaos, the French submitted to a dictator who promptly put an end to the Revolution. What went wrong? This lecture examines the wars and internal turmoil that eventually led to Napoleon's startling take over.
