Napoleon supported Robespierre during the Reign of Terror primarily because he believed in the revolutionary ideals of equality and meritocracy that Robespierre championed. As a young officer, Napoleon saw the potential for advancement in a society that was dismantling feudal privileges and promoting revolutionary fervor. Additionally, aligning with Robespierre allowed him to gain political favor and influence within the revolutionary government, which he hoped would further his own ambitions. Ultimately, however, he distanced himself from Robespierre as the Terror grew increasingly radical and unpopular.
