The country was in turmoil. They overthrew their King and organized a government run by a Council. Napoleon was recognized for his leadership in the Army that fought in Egypt so he was elected to be the First Council (or Premier Counsul). Later he promoted himself as Emperor.

Napoleon was pro-revolution and had supported the Jacobins. He was also literally raised in the army and was recognized for his brilliance in his early Italian campaigns. He ruled in Italy and was later requester by Abbe Sieyes, a member of the Directory in France, to come back to France and put down a rebellion. There he secured a coup'detat.
