The Revolution was already an established fact before Bonaparte entered the political arena. So the Revolution influenced him more than he influenced it.

Napoleon did contribute to the political legacy of the Revolution in the hearts and minds of European generations that followed--namely by setting the example that a man of tremendous ability and ambition could accomplish anything in a democratic, post-aristocratic society.
