Answer:

The Coup of 18 Brumaire

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite defeats in Egypt, Napoleon returned to a hero's reception. Outmanoeuvring the government and supported by his army he collaborated in a coup d'état to overthrow the Directory and establish the Consulate. By 1800 Napoleon had become the First Consul of France, and was now in a position of total power.
