Answer:
In 1799 Napoleon Bonaparte returned from the Egyptian Campaign. Successful in suppressing uprisings against the government and victorious in his Italian campaigns, Bonaparte was known as an excellent strategist who had gained the respect of his men through bravery and courage under fire, meticulous planning and an unconventional approach to warfare. Despite defeats in Egypt, Napoleon returned to a hero’s reception. Outmanoeuvring the government and supported by his army he collaborated in a coup d’état to overthrow the Directory and establish the Consulate. By 1800 Napoleon had become the First Consul of France, and was now in a position of total power.

- Several factors led to Napoleon’s rise to power. First, Napoleon’s success directly correlates to the French Revolution because such a political climate enabled Napoleon, despite his modest upbringing, to become an Emperor. While in years prior only the elite could participate in the government, the French Revolution challenged long-held ideals which favored the aristocracy's sole involvement in politics and matters of the state. Accordingly, someone like Napoleon was actually allowed (and encouraged) to enter the political arena. At the same time, Napoleon was a gifted military strategist, and after his initial rise
- Napoleon and his supporters overthrew the Directory Government of France, thus officially marking Napoleon’s reign. Napoleon was also married to Josephine, whose well-connected Father was a member of the Directory Government. This relationship allowed Napoleon access to the inner workings of the state, while also contributing to Napoleon’s popularity with the masses. In short, the unstable political landscape in France, Napoleon’s ambitious nature, and political/personal affiliations all paved the way for his popularity and subsequent reign.
