“It was more the weaknesses of the Directory than the power and ability of Napoleon that led to his rise to power.” Discuss
The statement that it was more the weaknesses of the Directory than the power and ability of Napoleon that led to his rise to power does not hold much water. The Directory refers to the forth revolutionary government in France which ruled from 1795 to 1799. On one hand, the weaknesses of this government which include corruption and failure to revive France’s economy paved way for the surfacing of Napoleon while on the other hand, the military prowess, oratory skills as well as the opportunistic nature of Napoleon led to his rise to power.
The advent of the Portuguese in the Mutapa state speeded up the process of decay which was already underway.” How justifiabable is this verdict on the decline of Mutapa state?
There is a great veracity in the verdict that the coming in of the Portuguese into the Mutapa State catalysed the state’s demise which was already underway. The Portuguese meddled with the politics of the Mutapa state, subortaged Mutapa state’s economy as well as stirred up disunity among the inhabitants of the Mutapa state thereby necessitating the decline of the state. On the contrary, the rise of a bigger and stronger Rozvi Empire, exhaustion of natural resources, rise of diseases as well as decline in trade had a great bearing on the demise of the Mutapa State.
