Summary "Histoire du XIXe siècle (volume 3/3) : III. Jusqu'à Waterloo" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This third volume chronicles events primarily in France as well as the broader European context from 1800 to 1815, detailing the tumultuous period leading up to Waterloo, marked by the rise and fall of Bonaparte. The work aims to reflect on the socio-political landscape of the time, examining the impacts of war and governance on the French populace and culture. The opening of this volume sets the stage for an exploration of the 19th century's vibrancy contrasted with its rapid decline. The author, reflecting on his personal experiences of growing up during this era, presents a critical view of Bonaparte's influence on France, emphasizing the tension between the nation's latent creativity and the oppressive atmosphere under his rule. Michelet also discusses the broader European context, mentioning the interplay of powers and the societal transformations that occurred during and after the Napoleonic Wars, ultimately framing the discussions within themes of liberty, governance, and the human spirit amidst historical struggles.
