After the coup-d'état of Brumaire ( Nov. 9, 1799), which put to an end the Directory and established the Consulate, of which Napoleon was appointed as First Consul.

By this way he became the chief of the French government with even more powers than those Louis XVI had before the Revolution.

A national referendum confirmed his powers with some 3,000,000 votes against 1,500.

Within about 15 months, Napoleon succeeded in definitively defeating the Second Coalition and signing the peace with the Holy Roman Empire at Lunéville on Feb.9 1801 and then with Great Britain on March 25, 1802.

The end of the war was greeted with great satisfaction by all French people and led Napoleon to be proclaimed Consul for Life.

Again a national referendum confirmed that proclamation, scoring 3,568,000 votes against 8,000.

The great reformations in administration and judiciary and the normalization of relations between State and Church that he was able to accomplish in less than two years led him to be acclaimed Emperor of French by the Senate, on May, 18, 1804.

For the third time a national referendum confirmed his accession to the throne with 3,572,329 votes against 2,579.
