the director of elba's national center of napoleonic studies says when napoleon arrived the new flagbor's fort. during less than a year's time, napoleon modernized the island. on elba he built roads and a sewer system. elba is the kind of laid-back place where laundry is is still hung out to dry and homemade wine is offered to visitors. and under a full moon at easter time, worshippers solemnly parade a statue of jesus through town. into this traditional culture, napoleon's arrival injected a kind of worldly sophistication. from the outside his country house may not look like the home of an emperor. but in the living, an homage to napoleon's egyptian military campaign, hugely influential on european style. napoleon lived quite comfortably here. this is his bathtub. and the two doves tugging on a ribbon? they represent napoleon and his wife marie louise who never did join him on the island. his mistress, a polish countess did. she's played here by greta garbo in the 1937 movie "conquest." >> i have brought you something. >> my son? >> your son and mine. >> reporter: napoleon brought h

many are associated with maritime disputes because this is the middle of the napoleonic wars. and the british need to keep them were real baby manned and then the gap british and the then very badly route the period so there is a range of those grievances. the reason it was fought to this many disputes were preceded by a number of years with the summer of 1811 the main grievance was the council. our british form of the executive order. but the british proclaims sweeping blockades designed to stop the new trolls. from taking the experts and the produce in europe. they have been disputing this and it seems it could be negotiated. and the event that the british will not were a. >> it is hard to do public opinion likely due but is the most important but to declaration incongruous were not by wide margins in the house of representatives. it was very close in the senate. 19/13 if three boats had changed the senate, it could not pass the war bell. and it debated near the two weeks and it was touch and go. why it was expedient for the united states to go to great britain after all. >>

the man they thought their savior was napoleon bonaparte.n 1815, in the aftermath of napoleon's defeat at waterloo, czar alexander of russia visited paris and saw the vendome column, crowned by its imperial statue of napoleon. "were i to be so highly elevated," he quipped, my head would surely spin with vertigo." even a czar could not imagine such dizzying heights of glory, "but," as he added,

he also owned napoleon's penis. now how did he own napoleon's penis? he owned napoleon's penis, the story goes, he was receiving last rites, the priest amputated his penis, i know nothing more than that. and somehow through the years the was placed in a wood encase and later on, was eventually sold at public auction. dr. lattimer bought it in 1969 and assured everybody now, i never met dr. lattimer, i wish i had. he assured everybody that the napoleon's penis was airtight. he was the proud owner of ethan allen's sword. ethan allen, took over in the american revolution. in 1975, dr. lattimer, re-enacted ethan allen's sword. that is the story of dr. lattimer and ethan allen's sword. i wish i had gotten to know him. i did not. i became interested in the civil war as a very young man. when i wore a lot younger man's clothing the i always write about the civil war throughout the years. th these are examples, of famous books, allen nevin'strilogy, and this is my copy, it says 1962 inside. i was a lot younger. and the -- i followed up with shelby foote, and s

(narrator) the napoleonic war ended in 1815 at waterloo. duke of wellington had called the battle "a damn close run-thing." the fragility of civilization intrigued turner throughout his career. the decline of the carthaginian empire depicts the crushing penalty rome inflicted on the carthaginians. the architecture is elegant but the messy dockside suggests the end of a defeated imperial power. the women of vanquished carthage are bidding farewell to their men as they sail towards rome, human spoils of war bound for slavery or death. in 1818, turner was 43. in the twenty years that britain had been at war, he had become a public figure, his reputation based on art and enterprise. the new classes made wealthy by the industrial revolution were eager to buy his works. and he was favored with patronage from landed gentry like walter fawkes, who invited him to stay at his yorkshire estate. one morning at breakfast fawkes asked him to make a drawing that would convey the huge size of a man-of-war. fawkes' grand niece recorded how it was done.

if yes or no, did any other tactics come from napoleon? >> um, okay. that did not come from napoleon, but it came from europe. the, in the 1830s the u.s. command sent some of their top officers over to europe to study the european artillery. they wanted to revamp the american artillery at that time, so they toured germany, france, all these countries in the 1830s, and they came back with a plan to establish flying artillery and demonstrated it to the, i think, to martin van buren at that time. and they got funding to establish an artillery, flying artillery outfit in every artillery regiment in the army. so there were, like, four artillery baa toll ons -- battalions, flying artillery battalions in the army. one of them was led by braxton bragg, probably recognize his name from the civil war and fort bragg. he was one of the outstanding ones. he, in fact, at buena vista he, at buena vista he performed tremendously and was at this pivotal part of the battle. but, so the european tactics. winfield scott was a student of, as far as infantry tactics go, he

now, napoleon was invading other countries and turning them into republican puppet regimes. holland and the netherlands became the bavarian republic. he was doing the same in italy. it wasn't inconceivable that he could invade the united states. after all, the french had invaded earlier. this was a legitimate fear that the united states would be invaded and by french radicals, napoleon's army and that they would turn that into a puppet regime with the aid of the jeffersonian fifth columnists. that was a legitimate fear. it collapsed with the napoleon's defeat at the battle of denial where nelson defeated and destroyed the navy. but up to that point, that's what led the federalists to take the steps they did. the alien setician act. the steps that in retrospect seem excessive to us and to some people at the time. evan hamilton thought the sedition act went too far. but you have to understand the fear that these people had. i think the goal of the historian is not to take sides decide, well, the federalists were right or the republicans were right. but rather to explain why pe

napoleón tercero siempre había soñado con poseer territorios en américa. entre los conservadores y los liberales. llegaron las tropas francesas y con la ayuda de los conservadores napoleón pudo instalar a maximiliano de austria como emperador de méxico. pero el imperio de maximiliano no duró mucho. pues, las batallas con juárez continuaban. en mil ochocientos sesenta y siete maximiliano fue capturado y fusilado. benito juárez asumió su autoridad una vez más. una de las batallas más importantes ocurrió el cinco de mayo de mil ochocientos sesenta y dos en la ciudad de puebla. allí el general zaragoza venció a las tropas francesas. aunque la lucha contra los franceses duró varios años más la batalla de puebla representa el espíritu y la valentía con que los mexicanos luchaban. cada año celebramos el cinco de mayo como un ontecimiento muy importante. también en muchas partes de california se celebra el cinco de mayo. para nosotros es una fiesta tan importante como el cuatro de julio. incluso en muchas escuelas públicas de los angeles se celebra el cinco de may

american future covered in expansive land larger than thor tire european territory conquered by napoleonalmost as large as the asia conquered by kahn. this confederacy was in the process of mobilizing a greater percentage of its population as soldiers than any european power had ever achieved. those troops were led by some of the most experienced military men on the north american continent starting with confederate president jefferson davis. a west point graduate, decorated combat veteran, and former u.s. secretary of war. the confederacy also wielded a powerful economic weapon near total control of the world's cotton supply at a time when textiles were driving the industrial revolution and cotton was perhaps the moss important commodity on earth. the idea that so vast and strong a country could be tamed and forced back into the union by an army of raw volunteers, led by an unschooled frontier lawyer as commander in chief, struck most neutral observers as highly far-fetched if not preposterous. it is in the highest degree likely that the north will not be able to subdue the south britis
