The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte: From Revolutionary Leader to Emperor

This segment explores Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power following a period of instability in France. In 1795, moderates sought to restore order through a new constitution and established the Directory, an executive body marked by corruption yet capable of maintaining order. Napoleon, a talented military leader born in Corsica in 1769, gained popularity through significant victories. By 1799, disillusioned with the Directory, he staged a coup, forming the Consulate and ultimately securing his position as First Consul, paving the way for his declaration as Emperor in 1804.
