After the death of Robespierre, the Jacobins lost power. The new, less extreme government was called the Directory. During this time, a young man named Napoleon Bonaparte had been rising through the ranks of the military. In 1799, he launched a coup d'état, or government takeover, of the Directory. He called the new government a consulate, which was supposed to reflect the will of the people. But in reality, Napoleon had absolute power. He had total control. By 1804, he had crowned himself Emperor Napoleon I, ruler for life.
Napoleon conquered Europe and created the French empire. By 1812, he ruled an expanded France and parts of Italy. He set up his relatives to rule Spain, Holland, the kingdom of Italy, the Swiss Republic, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and most of Germany. He worked to spread the freedoms of the French Revolution, which sent nobility running, as they were losing their rights.
In France, he is known for the Napoleonic Code. This set of laws included many of the gains from the revolution in terms of property rights, ability to choose a profession and religious tolerance.

How did Napoleon Bonaparte come to power?
a) He killed Robespierre and became the new leader of the Jacobins.
b) He was elected by the Third Estate to lead the Directory.
c) He overthrew the Directory and created a new government
d) The Directory decided to become a consulate with Napoleon as leader.
