What Factors allowed Napoleon to Gain Power

Napoleon’s Life Lessons Went to military school at age 9 Learned how society was divided into 3 estates and that being a good soldier did not help a person move up in society He would later organize his military based on ability over social class

Napoleon’s Military Career Begins Graduated and became an artillery officer at age 16 It was the only job that he could be promoted based upon skill rather than social position

Supporting the Revolution 1795 Napoleon was called to stop the royalists forces in Paris that were threatening the revolutionary government 1400 royalists died and the rest fled Seen as a defender of the revolution

Spreading the Seeds of Revolution Exiled supporters of the French royal family were attempting to create opposition to the revolution outside of France Napoleon worked to combat this opposition by defending and extending French boarders through military campaigns in Italy and Egypt Came home with new treasures such as the Rosetta Stone which helped to study ancient Egypt

The Rosetta Stone A stone with writing on it in two languages (Egyptian and Greek), using three scripts (hieroglyphic, demotic and Greek).

Italian Campaign Italy was a collection of separate regional governments under Austrian control Many cities had secret Jacobin clubs spreading revolutionary ideas When Austria went to war with France during the revolution, Italians were delighted an welcomed Napoleon and his troops who promised freedom French now controlling republics of Italy

Egyptian Campaign Napoleon wanted to go after Egypt and he argued that capturing it would cut Britain off from its wealthy colony of India French government let him go as they did not want his influence growing in France Initially won in Egypt but was defeated by the British navy in the Battle of the Nile

Military Effort Made Him Popular Napoleon earned his popularity through his military might seen as a great leader and hero Demonstrated to the French people that he was working for the betterment of all of France Even his defeat in Egypt was seen as a great effort for the glory of France

Post Revolutionary Government After the revolution, the Directory government was a mess The 5 members were split on any government action Parliament was unable to make decisions Corruption was growing People both in and out of the government wanted change

Napoleon Overthrows the Directory One of the members of the Directory asked Napoleon to overthrow the government On Nov 9 1799 Napoleon took control He had the military to support him Replaced the government with a 3 man Consulate Named him self First Consul which gave him powers of a dictator

From 1799-1804 Napoleon worked to strengthen his power over France His military successes ensured him support of the military and the masses He had powers of a dictator Controlled the army, the police, and the media He presented himself as the saviour of France

Emperor Napoleon The coronation of Napoleon as Emperor took place on Sunday December 2, 1804 Staged an elaborate ceremony At the moment of the crowning when the Pope said, "Receive the imperial crown...", Napoleon unexpectedly turned and, crowned himself and then crowned the kneeling Joséphine with a small crown which he had first placed on his own head
