Episode 16 - The Restoration, is out! In this episode we're going to see what came after Napoleon, and how the victorious British, Prussians, Austrians, and Russians tried to undo the damage that had been done to the Old Order. We'll see the old governments restored in Italy. Some will be  reactionary, removing all things French, while others will be more progressive. Download Episode 16

At the beginning of the episode you heard Zack Twamley, from the podcast When Diplomacy Fails, be sure to check his podcast out, it's one of our favorites!

Sardinia and Sicily were never conquered by Napoleon, and so came out of the Napoleonic Wars with a distinctly different attitude from the rest of Italy. Download Minisode 1

Episode 15  - Who Mourns for Napoleon?

1/6/2014

2 Comments

 
The lovely voice you heard at the beginning of the episode was Rob Monaco, from the Podcast History of Our World - be sure to check him out!

We’re going to look at Napoleon’s legacy in three broad steps. First, what were Napoleon’s reforms, economic, political, and social, and what did they accomplish. Second, who benefitted from his rule? Who was going to miss him when he was gone, and perhaps form the nucleus of an opposition to those who came after him. Finally, what did all of this mean for the idea of Italy? Did the people in Italy feel more or less Italian after Napoleon left than they had before he arrived? Download Episode 15
