Napoleon and the Germans

After watching the documentary “Napoleon and the Germans” I had a clearer view about his influence on Europe’s history. This documentary is an episode of the series “The Germans” that was produced for the German channel “ZDF”. This set of documentaries narrates in 2 seasons the most important events in the history of Germany. Due to the complexity of the historical evolution of the country, I consider it a daunting task.

We should definitively get rid of the idea of an unified Germany, as we today know, at that time. What we had then was the “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation” that had little to do with the current country. It could be described roughly as a set of autonomous territories under the leadership of the Holy Roman Emperor, a very prestigious title that, in fact, was not always coupled with a great executive power, then it was limited by local rulers like kings, dukes or bishops, who were the maximal authority in their domains. The links between the different regions of the Holy Roman Empire were very loose and, as a matter of fact, we could say that the role as an unifying element ought to be given to the German tongue. That was really the common factor among all those, in their majority, small states.

As an indirect consequence of his expansionist policies, Napoleon achieved that a lot of the German reigns fought united against him. After its victory at the battle of Jena and Auerstedt (1806) and the founding of the “Rheinbund”, France was, in reality, the leader of Europe. It was the power that led the “Rheinbund”, although it was not technically part of it. Several of those states had rulers who had been imposed by Napoleon, some of them his own relatives or people he trusted.

At that time the opinions about Napoleon were very divided. It is true that he brought new advances to the “conquered” territories, specially the so called “code civil” of France. At the end was the high pressure that France applied to these territories the decisive factor against Napoleon. In order to fulfill his expansionist desire, France needed constantly to increase taxes or drafts, measures that were highly unpopular.
