He received notice at the siege of Toulon when he forced the British fleet out of port. He put down the Royalist uprising in Paris with a ''"whiff of grapeshot"'' that ended the lives of 1,400 protester's. (That bit of lethality really got him noticed.) He was invited to become a part of coup against the Directory which he used to make himself the First Counsel of France. He then had himself named as the First Counsel for Life. On 2 December 1804 he crowned himself the Emperor of the French.

It inspired the French Revolution, which eventually led to Napoleon's rise to power.
Napoleon's rise to power was primarily an effect of the French Revolution rather than a cause. The Revolution created the political instability and social upheaval that allowed him to ascend, as it dismantled the monarchy and traditional power structures. His leadership capitalized on the revolutionary ideals but also shifted the direction of the Revolution, ultimately leading to the establishment of an authoritarian regime. Thus, while he transformed the revolutionary context, his rise was a direct outcome of the Revolution's chaos and changes.
Napoleon inherited the newly formed division based army that allowed him to maneuver more flexibly. He also inherited the revolutionary fervor from the French Revolution which, though altered, he used to mount his rise to power.
His support for France allowed his eldest sons Napoleon and Joseph to study in France, opening the way for the former's meteoric rise to supreme power in that country.
Napoleon Bonaparte's favorite book was "Plutarch's Lives," a collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman figures. He drew inspiration from the stories of these historical figures for his own rise to power and leadership style.

Napoleon Bonaparte took advantage of the political and social instability in France. He was able to take power because the French government, The Directory, was corrupt and the French people were not happy with the government.
Orwell named the pig Napoleon in "Animal Farm" as a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader and emperor. By naming the pig after Napoleon Bonaparte, Orwell was drawing parallels between the character's rise to power and authoritarian leadership style.
a new constitution was introduced which denied the vote to nonpropertied sections of society.it provided for two elected legislative councils.these then appointed a directory an executive made of five members.this meant as safeguard against the concentration of power in a oneman executive as under the jacobins.however the directors often clashed with the legislative councils,who then sought to dismiss them. the political instability of the dirctory paved the way for the rise of a military dictator, napoleon bonaparte.
