Question

How would you explain the rise of Napoleon (short answer)

Answer 1

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.

1. France, during the reign of terror, was ruled by the Committee of Public Safety. This committee considered monopoly as a serious crime because it observed the traditional, class-based system of economics that led to the Revolution in France.

2. The members of this society wanted everyone to have equal access for the basic goods.

3. The leader of this group was Robespierre (who was also the leader of the Jacobin club).

4. The Jacobin club observed the supreme egalitarianism and persecution and assisted the Revolutionary government in France. Accordingly, mass slaughter and public violence observed during this period.

5. Ultimately, Napoleon Bonaparte put an end to this condition and the Republic. And though France had a constitution Napoleon governed as a despot.
