	~~SETTING THE STAGE Napoleon Bonaparte was quite a short man—just five~~

	~~feet three inches tall. However, he cast a long shadow over the history of mod-~~
	~~ern times. He would come to be recognized as one of the world’s greatest mil-~~
	~~itary geniuses, along with Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Hannibal of~~

	~~Carthage, and Julius Caesar of Rome. In only four years, from 1795 to 1799,~~
	~~Napoleon rose from a relatively obscure position as an officer in the French~~
	~~army to become master of France.~~
	~~Napoleon Seizes Power~~
	~~Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 on the Mediterranean island of Corsica.~~
	~~When he was nine years old, his parents sent him to a military school. In 1785,~~
	~~at the age of 16, he finished school and became a lieutenant in the artillery. When~~
	~~the Revolution broke out, Napoleon joined the army of the new government.~~
	~~Hero of the Hour In October 1795, fate handed the young officer a chance for~~
	~~glory. When royalist rebels marched on the National Convention, a government~~
	~~official told Napoleon to defend the delegates. Napoleon and his gunners greeted~~
	~~the thousands of royalists with a cannonade. Within minutes, the attackers fled~~
	~~in panic and confusion. Napoleon Bonaparte became the hero of the hour and~~
	~~was hailed throughout Paris as the savior of the French republic.~~
	~~In 1796, the Directory appointed Napoleon to lead a French army against the~~
	~~forces of Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia. Crossing the Alps, the young~~
	~~general swept into Italy and won a series of remarkable victories. Next, in an~~
	~~attempt to protect French trade interests and to disrupt British trade with India,~~
	~~Napoleon led an expedition to Egypt. But he was unable to repeat the successes~~
	~~he had achieved in Europe. His army was pinned down in Egypt, and the British~~
	~~admiral Horatio Nelson defeated his naval forces. However, Napoleon managed~~
	~~to keep stories about his setbacks out of the newspapers and thereby remained a~~
	~~great hero to the people of France.~~
	~~Coup d’État By 1799, the Directory had lost control of the political situation~~
	~~and the confidence of the French people. When Napoleon returned from Egypt,~~
	~~his friends urged him to seize political power. Napoleon took action in early~~
	~~November 1799. Troops under his command surrounded the national legislature~~
	~~and drove out most of its members. The lawmakers who remained then voted to~~

	~~dissolve the Directory. In its place, they established a group~~
	~~of three consuls, one of whom was Napoleon. Napoleon~~

	~~ers of a dictator. A sudden seizure of power like Napoleon’s~~

	~~is known as a coup—from the French phrase coup d’état~~
	~~(KOO day•TAH), or “blow to the state.”~~
	~~At the time of Napoleon’s coup, France was still at war.~~

	~~corruption and inefficiency in government. He dismissed~~
	~~corrupt officials and, in order to provide the government with trained officials, set~~

	~~up lycées, or government-run public schools. These lycées were open to male stu-~~

	~~merit rather than family connections.~~

	~~church and state. The government recognized the influence of the Church, but~~
	~~rejected Church control in national affairs. The concordat gained Napoleon the~~
	~~support of the organized Church as well as the majority of the French people.~~
	~~Napoleon thought that his greatest work was his comprehensive system of laws,~~
