Answer:
Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte:
After the French Revolution, France became a republic.
The Jacobins introduced some radical reforms but they under Robespierre followed the policies so relentlessly that he himself was guillotine in July 1794.
The fall of the Jacobin government allowed the wealthier middle class to seize power. Two legislative councils were elected, who then appointed a Directory, an executive made of five members
Directors often clashed with legislative Councils and the latter sought to dismiss them.
Political instability of the Directory paved the way for the rise of military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte
