It examines how Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte (nephew of the first Napoleon) was able to secure election as President of the Republic and subsequently to launch a coup d'e?tat to establish a Second Empire. It then considers the ways in which power was exercised by the new imperial regime. Later, apparent stability led Napoleon III to engage in a difficult process of transition towards a more liberal regime; but at the point of success the decision was taken to go to war against Prussia which resulted in a catastrophic defeat and the destruction of his regime. This is a most thoroughly researched book on the Second Empire, which makes a contribution to our knowledge of a vitally important period of French history following the 1848 revolution and the intense mid-century crisis. 410 0$aNew studies in European history. 607 $aFrance$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aFrance$xHistory$ySecond Empire, 1852-1870 676 $a944.07/092 676 $aB 700 $aPrice$b Roger$f1944 January 7-$0246425 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455605003321 996 $aThe French Second Empire$91906014 997 $aUNINA
