During the French Revolution, France realized they had a very weak military. Through strategic, economic, and political changes, France took action and became one of the most dominant military powers in all of Europe. In the text underneath I am going to describe and analyze the seven presented documents and how they support one another. When France undertook these ideas, they quickly understood that the key to a strong military were the roots behind it.
In France the size of their army grew tremendously from 1756 to 1812/14. With new discoveries in weapons and other technologies, wars began to end faster than they used to.

Monseron is publishing this paper into the Journal de Paris to let the people know that if the island of Saint Domingue was going to be taken over by the Negroes then France would lose their resources income. The country of France would then become sad, because they would have lost one of their major import locations. France was also afraid of Britain getting the opportunity to invade because France would have become weak. In a similar document the topic is brought up through an address to the king, from the National Assembly. In this article it addresses the King and how he needs to stop the German princes from invasion. The Declaration of Pillnitz was signed to declare the joint support of the Holy Roman Empire and Prussia. This helped King Louis XVI of France during the French Revolution.

I found that these two letters are very similar in that they both discuss invasion and how, both ways it is bad for that particular country.

Moving from tough protocols, static operational strategy, and unenthusiastic soldiers the French underwent a massive transformation. As the French monarchy and nobility gave way to liberal assemblies, these assemblies began to be obsessed with external threats. New theoretical and technological developments anticipated exploiting the intrinsic bravery of the French soldiers. Armies during the French Revolution began to grow in numbers overall giving France the greater advantage over war situations. By 1797 the French had defeated and conquered many of the smaller less occupied countries. When they began defeating these countries they realized they could do greater and could conquer even more than just small countries. The Napoleonic Era was the time period when France obtained great power through land domination. In the seventeen hundreds France had a total population of 19 million, and at the start of the eighteen hundreds the population raised to almost 29 million. With great numbers like this France realized they might be able to make one of the armies in history. When Napoleon inherited the French troops he realized they were untrained and were very weak at taking orders. By 1805, Napoleon trained his troops as much as he could and hoped they would be ready for an invasion into
