French people felt frustrated because of the politics of the Directory, so they embraced Napoleon who definitely was a qualified general. He was a master of propaganda.  The fact that most of the population was illiterate made it easy for him to mislead them. But later on, people realized that he had grandiose foreign policy ambitions. T

The vast empire of Napoleon was based on power but it was hollow from within.
He touched the zenith at the time of the treaty of Tilsit in 1807 and then his power began his decline.According to natural law, hen the zenith is achieved, the nadir follows eventually. He was eventually exiled to St. Helena after his defeat at the battlefield of Waterloo in 1815 where he admitted in his memoirs that Spain, Pope and Russsia were the main factors that contributed to his downfall.
