Answer:
Explanation:
THE ROLE OF NAPOLEON IN THE FRENCH ARMY DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
It is important to highlight the fact that Napoleon did not play a principal role during the formative years of the French Revolution. Take note that prior to the insurgency, he was training to become a member of the French Army. He later became a second lieutenant in the first artillery regiment in 1785.
Napoleon was later assigned to the Valence garrison in the southeast of France where he spent most of the next seven years on furlough in Corsica. He subsequently aligned himself with the French Revolution in 1789. However, note that he and his family fled to Marseilles in 1793 after he came into conflict with Corsican nationalist Pasquale Paoli.
Take note that the French Republic already existed in 1792 following the establishment of the National Assembly and the abolishment of the French monarchy. This new government had tasked Napoleon to command an artillery brigade during the Siege of Toulon in 1793 in which the Republican forces clashed against a Royalist rebellion. The Republican forces emerged victoriously. The French Republic rewarded Napoleon by promoting him as general of the brigade.
