Europe and the Evolution of Democracy

As I mentioned before I had the chance to visit the Les Invalides and inside it is the tomb of many of the leaders of the French Revolution including Napoleon Bonaparte.  I have heard about this important historical time, but it was different to actually be in France where these men, and woman, were entombed.  I do not actually know that much about the French Revolution, but having been in Paris it is now more interesting to me.  By the next time I go to Paris I plan to read up on the French Revolution.  I was already interested to find that Napoleon had died on Saint Helena and was much later brought back to Paris to be entombed.
