Napoleon's contribution to Germany's development was immense. Under
his hegemony, the millennium-old Holy Roman Empire dissolved,
paving the way for a new order. Nowhere was the transformation more
profound than in the Rhineland. Based upon an extensive range of
German and French archival sources, this book locates the
Napoleonic episode in this region within a broader chronological
framework, encompassing the Old Regime and Restoration. It analyses
not only politics, but also culture, identity, religion, society,
institutions and economics. It reassesses in turn the legacy
bequeathed by the Old Regime, the struggle between Revolution and
Counter-Revolution in the 1790s, Napoleon's attempts to integrate
the German-speaking Rhineland into the French Empire, the
transition to Prussian rule, and the subsequent struggles that
ultimately helped determine whether Germany would follow its own
Sonderweg or the path of its western neighbours.
