Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Invasion of France, 1814, Vol. 1 It is surely a most curious coincidence that the centenary of the overthrow of Napoleons aggressive system of military despotism by the Allies should coincide with the outbreak of the most gigantic struggle in which Europe has ever been involved. Then, as now, the immediate cause of the war was the attempt by one nation to dominate the neighbouring states by force of arms, regardless of justice or of treaty obligations. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Napoleon aimed at the complete subjugation of Europe and, thanks to his unrivalled genius and the fact that through force of circumstances France had become a nation in arms in the modem sense of the words, he achieved a temporary though most phenomenal success. At first he was opposed by the comparatively small standing armies of the neighbouring states, the bulk of whose inhabitants took little interest and practically no part in the operations.
