Napoleon's opportunity to rise through the ranks was allowed due to the effect of the French Revolution which instilled a climate where junior officers could dispute or challenge senior officer's planning of a battle. Since Napoloen was a military genius he did just that at the battle of Corsica and managed to convince his superiors of his plan after they failed at the cost of many lives. His plan worked subsequently and allowed his meteoric rise to Emperor.
