In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, French citizens supported Napoleon initially because of one fundamental benefit: he maintained control and enforced discipline upon a French society that for years prior had hovered on the edge of chaos. As years passed and his military victories accumulated, Napoleon enjoyed even greater support from the French, who took pride in his (and their) accomplishments in diplomacy and on the battlefield.

The French had an excellent memory. They had seen that the Monarchy was not responsive to their concerns and the Reign of Terror was not what they had hoped for. Napoleon gave them the hope that he could improve their lot in life, and what they really wanted was bread and hope.
