. . for years conservationists had warned that ecological catastrophe hovered over the great
plains. the so-called short-grass country west of the hundredth meridian was favored by fewer
than twenty inches of rain a year. early explorers had labeled the frontier beyond the missouri
“the great american desert,” and then it was relatively stable, hammered flat by millions of bison
and untilled by the indians. then the settlers arrived with their john deere plows. before the
depression they were blessed by extraordinarily heavy rains, but as they pushed their luck by
overgrazing and overplowing, the ineludible [unavoidable] drew nearer. even in the 192os a
hundred counties in colorado, kansas, new mexico, texas, and oklahoma had been called the
“dust bowl.” now in 1934 the national resources board estimated that 35 million acres of arable
[productive] land had been completely destroyed, the soil of another 125 million acres had been
nearly or entirely removed, and another 100 million acres were doomed. abruptly the bowl grew
to 756 counties in nineteen states. like ireland and the ukraine in the nineteenth century, the
plains were threatened with famine. .

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.
