Hiii there
Here is your answer
The French Revolution and it's meritocracy allowed Napoleon's rise from captain in the artillery to the Brigadier General who sweeps away the royalists in Paris with his wiff of grapeshot. He then rose to full General and commander of the Army of Italy. He led these 40,000, give or take, ill supplied and ragged French soldiers to victory after victory defeating Piedmont and Austria and crushing armies much larger than his own. His rise to commanding general of a French field army at age 26 was only possible due to the revolution. Under the monarchy a Corsican from minor and poor nobility would never rise so high.
The revolution also is what influenced him to eventually become an emporer with near absolute power. Napoleon was in Paris when the kings Swiss guard was brutally massacred by the Parisians. He had a fear of crowds and disorder after witnessing this and years later would make a comment that basically said “The average peasant is not meant to be free. They need a stronger, more enlightened man to tell them what to do. Freedom is only for the enlightened few. It is not for the common people. Most men were not meant to be free”. I most likely got the wording wrong there but basically the French Revolution enabled Napoleon to rise up and become the absolute ruler of France and most of Western Europe. The violence and madness of the Parisians during the terror however, showed him that the people need a monarch and restraints on their freedoms to maintain order.
Hope it helps

Hi,
Your answer :
On November 9, 1799 (18 Brumaire Year VIII, according to the Republican calendar), Napoleon Bonaparte puts an end to the regime of the Directory.
By this brutal coup, the young general opens the way to his own dictatorship and puts an end to the Revolution proper.
Towards a dictatorship of public safety
Ten years after the storming of the Bastille, the Revolution is running out of steam. The government of the Directory is distraught by the economic and military difficulties, and threatened by a premature return of the royalists. Director Sieyès tells anyone who wants to hear him that he is "looking for a saber" capable of saving what remains of the Revolution ... and in particular the fortunes of profiteers.
The return of Egypt from General Napoleon Bonaparte offered him the opportunity he sought. Sieyes sees in this young general covered with glory the dictator of public safety which the French Republic needs to avoid the return of Louis XVIII and the Ancien Regime. He concocts with him a parliamentary coup d'état that would go through a revision of the Constitution.
On the 18th Brumaire, under the pretext of a "conspiracy of the terrorists" (royalists), the two assemblies of the Five Hundreds and the Ancients are convinced to move to the castle of Saint-Cloud, outside Paris, and to entrust the guard of the capital to Bonaparte.
Accomplices of the plot, three of the five Directors, Sieyes, Barras and Ducos, resign. The other two, Gohier and Moulin, suspected of Jacobin sympathies, are dismissed and arrested.
The next day, the troop loop the castle of Saint-Cloud. But the elected officials of the Five Hundred gathered in the Orangery room refuse to amend the Constitution as requested.
Good bye :)
