Document Summary
Name three key features of intelligence in the english civil war, something like that. Intellligence in the french revolutionary and napoleonic wars. Not entirely modern, but start to see certain things changing in how intel works. French revolution used to be regarded as one of the great turning points in history - esp. Stems from political and fiscal crisis in france that the monarchy cannot manage bankrupt without means to solve the problem try to call parliament to solve it. Hadn"t been called in over 100 years nationally, suddenly the french are playing a game of politics that no one remembers the rules for. The regime collapses because it loses its nerve, and chaos results as different factions fight it out and increasingly turn towards murder. Chaos and a tendency for the left most radical to control policy. Dictatorship by oligarchy and then increasingly military rule.
