He was one of many penniless petit nobles who would be stuck in a long undistinguished career unless he had a stroke of fortune. The revolution in general and Toulon in particular were that stroke of fortune, making him a child of the revolution.

As the founder of an imperial dynasty, he destroyed the revolution in France (while exporting it to most of the rest of Europe).

Hi, Here is your answer

=====================

Napoleon Bonaparte can be viewed as both the preserver and destroyer of the French Revolution. While he certainly, institutionalized the core values of the French Revolution such as legal rights through his well known Napoleonic Code, his personal traits such as the need for conquest and power resulted in tyranny across Europe. Napoleon kept true to the revolution in the sense that his laws and codes solidly abolished the old regime and monarchy in France. At the same time however, one can argue that his rule was marked by his own self interests. That he chose which ideals of the revolution he would keep or leave out in order to maintain his power over Europe.

Hope it is helpful......
