The Directory of the rule in France was a five-member commission which directed France from 1795 when it substituted the Public Safety committee. On 9 November 1799, it was abolished by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Revolution of 18 Brumaire and substituted by the French Consulate.

The Directory was continuously at war with international alliances at various events including  Prussia, the Kingdom of Naples, Russia Britain, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. It also added Belgium to their territory while Bonaparte captured a substantial part of Italy. The Directory instituted 196 short-lived sister democracies created after France, in Rome, Netherlands, and Switzerland.

Answer:

After the fall of Robespierre's government, the wealthier middle classes came forward to seize power.  

A new constitution was introduced which denied the vote to non-propertied sections of the society. It provided for two elected legislative councils.  

These then appointed a Directory, an executive made up of five members.  

This was meant as a safeguard against the concentration of power in a one man executive as under the Jacobins.  

However, the Directors often clashed with the legislative councils, who then sought to dismiss them.  

Thus, the Directory became the victim of political instability which paved the way for the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
