1) Although no historian doubts the importance of the reign of Napoleon in European (and even world) history, they do argue over the interpretation of these events. For example, they are torn on the role Napoleon played in the Revolution. Some argue that he continued the spirit of the Revolution, despite creating an Empire. Others believe he murdered it. Some include Napoleon’s reign as a stage of the actual Revolution, while others consider it its own separate event.
For your initial post, in 500-600 words, tell us: What do you think? Do you think Napoleon continued and spread the Revolution? Or do you think he destroyed its ideals when creating his empire? Do you think his reign should qualify as a separate historical event from the Revolution? Or was it simply another stage in a long process? In your answer, please explicitly quote and discuss at least two specific passages from 2 different primary source documents excerpted in the pdf attached (each document excerpt is labeled in the attached; there are 6 from which to choose–Document 1, Document 2, etc.).
2) How equitably did the United States comply with the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? Please cite one source and write a minimum of 300 words.
