    Napoleon came to power in France through the coup d'etat.

    Explanation:

    Napoleon came to power in France through the coup d'etat. This move brought an end to the five member directory in France and the French consulate came in its place. This took place on 9 November 1799.

    Napoleon had returned to France and was respected due to his victories in the Middle East. A false threat that the Jacobin coup gaining control in Paris was made and the members of the Councils were relocated. Napoleon took charge of the local troops.

    Later three members of the Directory were made to resign and the Directory lost quorum. The protests of the two remaining members were suppressed. Military power was then used to suppress further protests and the counsel was formed with Napoleon as the most powerful member in it.

    Finally the first French empire came into being.
