The French Revolution lead to several attempts to govern the Nation that were clumsy at best and gave rise to counter-revolts and the Great Terror.

Napoleon Bonaparte
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.
After the French Revolution of 1848, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, came to power. He was elected as the President of the Second Republic in December 1848. In 1852, he declared himself Emperor Napoleon III, establishing the Second French Empire. His rise marked a significant shift from republicanism to autocratic rule in France.
