Produktinformationen zu „History of the French Revolution Vol III [Illustrated Edition] (ePub)“
The French Revolution was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799, and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond.Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies.Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history.Written by the first President of the French Third Republic himself, Louis Adolphe Thiers, this is the third of five volumes originally published in 1881 that together represent one of the earliest historical texts on the French Revolution, and one that became widely regarded as a standard authority. Richly illustrated throughout.An important addition to your French History collection.
Autoren-Porträt von Louis Adolphe Thiers
MARIE JOSEPH LOUIS ADOLPHE THIERS (15 April 1797-3 September 1877) was a French statesman and historian. He was the second elected President of France, and the first President of the French Third Republic.Thiers served as a prime minister in 1836, 1840 and 1848. He was a vocal opponent of Emperor Napoleon III, who reigned from 1848-71. Following the defeat of France in the Franco-German War, which he opposed, he was elected chief executive of the new French government, negotiated the end of the war, and, when the Paris Commune seized power in that city in March 1871, gave the orders to the army for its suppression. He was named President of the Republic by the French National Assembly in August 1871. Opposed by the royalists in the French assembly and the left wing of the Republicans, he resigned on May 24, 1873, and was replaced as President by Patrice de MacMahon, Duke of Magenta.
He died in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1877 aged 80.
FREDERIC SHOBERL (1775-1853) was an English journalist, editor, translator, writer and illustrator.

Shoberl died at Thistle Grove, Brompton, London, on 5 March 1853.
