Initially perceived as a mere docile backwater in 1796, the region unexpectedly erupted in a violent rebellion at the end of 1805, causing astonishment not only among the French imperial establishment but also Napoleon himself. However, the French military swiftly put down the insurgency, preventing further confrontations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetermined to showcase the empire's positive influence, French administrators embarked on a mission to foster cooperation among the local citizens. Recognizing the need for a realistic approach, they entered into protracted give-and-take arrangements, seeking to bridge the gap between the empire and the people. In recounting these events, this book sheds light on the remarkable agency of the local population, who harnessed the power of the empire to shape the region's destiny. It highlights the various ways in which Parma's population utilized the opportunities presented by the Napoleonic legacy to mold their own history and leave a lasting impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 394g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030973421\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doina Pasca Harsanyi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44307631669498,"sku":"9783030973421","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_2ed08565-9381-4422-a4f3-5f88b671d8e5.jpg?v=1688110664","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/french-rule-in-the-states-of-parma-17961814-working-with-napoleon-9783030973421","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
