Mini-Lesson 5 Age of Napoleon

Napoleon rose to power after the chaos of the French Revolution by bringing order and stability to France. As the first consul, he centralized power under himself. While Napoleon helped improve the economy and modernized French institutions, he also curtailed some freedoms established during the Revolution. Overall, Napoleon brought both positive and negative changes, and historians debate whether he should be considered an absolute or enlightened ruler.
