What is the role of nepolian …

After the French Revolution, France became a republic. Political instability of the Directory paved the way for the rise of military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte. He is often called as the ‘Child of the French Revolution’. Napoleon Bonaparte ruled France from 1804 to 1814 and for a small period in 1815. As the dictator of France, Napoleon was able to institute a number of government reforms. One of these reforms was the famous Napoleonic Code.
This Code instituted the principle of equality of all people before the law, right to property was established and all privileges enjoyed by the people of high birth and class were abolished.

•  The Code was also promulgated to other parts of Europe which were controlled by France.
•  In many European countries such as Switzerland, Germany, Dutch Republic and Italy, he simplified the administrative machinery, ended the feudal system and liberated the peasants from serfdom.
• In towns, restrictions imposed on guilds were removed, and transport and communication systems were improved. Businessmen, small industrialists and traders began to realise the importance and advantages of a uniform system of laws.
• People of other European countries initially welcomed the French armies, but later began to oppose them because of increased taxation and censorship imposed on the people.
