Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Napoleon Bonaparte, later known by his regnal name Napoleon I, was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. Napoleon first seized political power in a coup d'état in 1799. The coup resulted in the replacement of the extant governing body—a five-member Directory—by a three-person Consulate. The first consul, Napoleon, had all the real power; the other two consuls were figureheads.
