Napoleon Bonaparte gained control of the French government through a combination of military success and political maneuvering. After a coup d'état in November 1799, known as the 18th Brumaire, he overthrew the existing Directory and established the Consulate, positioning himself as First Consul. His popularity from military victories, particularly in Italy, along with his ability to stabilize France after the chaos of the Revolution, helped him consolidate power. Subsequently, he declared himself Emperor in 1804, solidifying his control over the nation.
