Fourth Government of the French Revolution The Directory How was the Directory Formed? - Moderates from the National Convention drafted a new constitution in 1795 (the third since 1789) - Called for a two-house legislature and an executive body above them of five men known as the Directory. What did the Directory accomplish? - Not much, but found a new general for their struggling army: Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napoleon Bonaparte "If you build an army of 100 lions and their leader is a dog, in any fight, the lions will die like a dog. But if you build an army of 100 dogs and their leader is a lion, all dogs will fight like a lion.” Mini-Bio: Napoleon

Analyze: How does this painting of Napoleon show power?

Napoleon Bonaparte Background Did he ever fail? Born in Corsica (considered an outsider!), he was sent to military school in France. Became a lieutenant at 16. At 26, he defended the National Convention’s meeting place from Royalists. Many called him “the savior of the republic”. At 27, he led the French army against Austria and conquered Italy. Did he ever fail? Of course! Ok. So, how did he become Emperor? He hid the facts, like any good tyrant in the making!

The Rise of Napoleon “In the weakness of authority… some popular general shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself… Armies will obey him on his personal account… The person who really commands the army is your master.” In time, the Directory lost credibility. In 1799, Napoleon led a coup (an uprising) The second chamber, out of fear, dissolved the Directory and left power to the Consulate (fifth government). So, who is in charge of the Consulate? Napoleon is!

The Rise of Napoleon Another constitution! So, what does this mean? What problems were still ongoing? France was still at war with… Britain, Austria, and Russia How do you celebrate a major victory? Another constitution! A plebiscite (individual direct vote) was taken to choose which Consul would bear sole power in France. Napoleon was voted, legally, First Consul… then Consul for Life a few years later. So, what does this mean? France has another absolute monarch: Emperor Napoleon I (sixth government)

What did Napoleon Accomplish? 1. Restored economic order 2. Restored social order 3. Restored religious order 4. Restored legal order Would extend French power and dominate Europe.

What led to Napoleon’s fall? 1. The establishment of the Continental System Economic warfare where Napoleon sought to blockade all of Europe from Britain. Britain retaliated by blockading all of ships bound for Europe… from Europe. This weakened economies in Europe. 2. Rebellion in Spain Napoleon made his brother, Joseph, king of Spain. Spaniards were outraged at this outsider in charge. Fighting through guerilla warfare, Spain cost France 300,000 troops. Italy and Germany soon turned against France. 3. The Invasion of Russia 400,000 French soldiers invaded Russia. Would Russia fight? No. They used the scorched earth policy to defeat the French. 100,000 French Troops make it to Moscow. Winter hits… 10,000 would make it back to France.

Aftermath of Napoleon’s Rule Elba St. Helena

Aftermath of Napoleon’s Rule What did Napoleon’s Actions do to Europe and the World? 1. Fall of France led to US expansion (Louisiana Purchase). 2. New nations were created in Europe. 3. Monarchies returned in several nations. 4. Nationalism is now widespread throughout the world.
