This podcast is a lecture on Napoleon Bonaparte. The podcast covers the rise and downfall of Napoleon and his impact on Europe.
Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most controversial figures in European history. When in power, he claimed to be consolidating, perserving and even expanding the policies and benefits of the French Revolution. Many of his comtemparies, however, as well as many subsequent observers, believed that many of his actions betrayed the principles of the revolution.

Cite specific examples and evidence to support your case.
