Question

how would you explain the rise of Napoleon?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of France. He started conquering neighbouring countries by waging wars against them. He saw himself as a moderniser of Europe. He introduced and inculcated many laws such as the protection of private property and a uniform system of weights and measures provided by the decimal system. A lot of his measures carried the revolutionary ideas of liberty and modern laws to the other parts of Europe. This showed a positive impact on people long after he was dethroned as an emperor, when he was finally defeated in the Battle of Waterloo.

Answer 2

On December 2nd, 1804, in the presence of the Pope, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor. This, of course, contributes to the rise of democracy because the people needed a new leader and Napoleon being an opportunity, they seized it.

Napoleon rose to power due to his victories in the military. He was an established officer and received national praise in France. The commoners supported Napoleon because he offered to bring domestic peace. Politics were useless as Napoleon had an imperial title; most political opponents were sent into exile.
