 The motive of conquest: Napoleon

The motive of conquest of Napoleon, beyond the mere political lies, that today are truly false, other motive certainly more important then freedom is present  to the Revolution brook out for an economic crisis that has determined the Revolution, it is enough think that the paper money, printed from 1789 in France, already in 1793 it has had lost the valor and the inflation, and the inflation had overcome the valor of good took as guarantee, this is the covered bond; the France State guaranteed the pa%per money trough the ecclesiastical goods called, assigned,, but a growing inflation says that the economy has difficult and the France regard the tax of king Louis 16th on the middle and popular classes were exorbitant, instead the aristocracy and the clergy were exempt; the principal tax of Louis 16th  were the taille, a tax on the proprieties and income that have to be paid from member that aren’t aristocratic, the capitation, a tax that everybody have to be paid, often the clergy and the aristocratic class were exempted, the twentieh a tax of 5% on the income and on the real estate and commercial goods,  born as extraordinary tax became  stable, a duty on the sale, whose the price was different among the regions, and duties on the wine and foods, other duties on the goods; hence very much taxes on the producer class in France; in fact  some of principal tax of ancient regime have abolished , as the taille, the tithe and other duties;  but a question is important , why above all the taxes? Simple because  these were the motives of complaint, but in France; when Napoleon conquered the Italy, although the north Italy alone, the taxes grown, and much the taxes on the real estate, tax on the flour,  were grown the tax on the real estate and above all land register fro the proprieties, he has gown these taxes that the Revolution has deleted ; but why this growth of taxes? In opinion of historical men  it was necessary to finances the wars; but it is very incredible, because Napoleon in 1799 was one member  of triumvirate after that he had took Italy, hence he took above all the money of Italy, that he certainly given also the army but above all to France fro this he was the first consul and after the imperator, because the money of the France came and this gain has guaranteed by Napoleon; and this fiscal oppression has determined the break out the revolts, as in 1797 in Verona, in 1799 in Arezzo, in Lugo, small town in north Italy in year 1796, and finally in 1799, a revolt that deleted the Partenopean republic;  we can think that  these revolts have determined from lies regard the civil rights that have been betrayed, but it was absolutely erred, because the principal motive were the taxes that have to finance the France and the future election to imperator of Napoleon. But the richer country than other, this is the England, napoleon didn’t attack , why? Simple because the richness of England and its army were very impressive, hence the England could react very violently  and destroyed the France and Napoleon; it is enough to think that in France and Italy the 60% has employed for the agriculture, hence the poverty was dominant, for this the revolt.
