I.Introduction
Before beginning the paper, there are some words which need to be defined clearly. First, the word “author” refers to “author of this paper”, which means “me”. Secondly, there are occasions when I should mention the author of the book I research. In that situation, I used the word “writer” to distinguish “the author of the paper” from “the author of the books I research”.
1.Purpose of study
History is not the truth itself. History is produced by historians including their different viewpoints and opinions. Because of their different opinions, historian might intentionally omit and exaggerate some specific factors to express their opinion effectively and indirectly. So, it is essential to double-check the produced history with more than two sources if the history is omitted or exaggerated by them. There might be the informational error in the history. Also, it is necessary to interpret these histories in the right ways, too. Thus, the author of the paper will have a process of comparing history textbooks with analyzing and interpreting the various views on the facts of the history.
There are a lot of controversy with Napoleon’s political achievements except for his military achievements. So, the author wants to reason whether Napoleon really contributed the achievements to be done.
2.Scope of study
The author wanted to deal with a whole history of Napoleon, but, for the better interpretation and analyzing, limiting the scope of the study would make the research much better. So, limited the scope of my research just for the reform of Napoleon, so-called “The political achievements done by Napoleon”, which means it is except for the Napoleon’s military achievements.
