THE HISTORY OF EUROPE & THE CHURCH Part Eight THE SECOND REICH - Keith W Stump - April 1984

Keith W Stump

The Napoleonic attempt to restore the Roman Empire in the West is but a short-lived success. Napoleon's fin al defeat at Waterloo in 1815 sends the onetime master of Europe into lonely exile on the rocky island of St. Helena in the south Atlantic. And his dream of a unified Europe follows him into the abyss. Defeated France is reduced to her 1790 boundaries, assessed a large indemnity payment and forced to submit to an allied army of occupation. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
