How would you explain the rise of napoleon and his reforms in 80 words?
Answers
Hey Mate
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 to power, he demonstrated his talents in various military campaigns in Italy and Egypt. In 1799, 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.
