How did Napoleon Bonaparte come to power in France in 1799

History

Napoleon came to power through a military coup in 1799, which is known as the Coup of 18 Brumaire.  (The French Revolution had redone the calendar and renamed months; 18 Brumaire would equate to November 9 on standard calendars.)


Here's a bit more detail about Napoleon's rise to power.  The French Revolution had involved much chaos and turmoil in France, and by the time Napoleon stepped into the picture, there was a desire for law and order and stability. He brought that as a military leader who was not afraid to fire "a whiff of grapeshot" (as one historian termed it) on royalist opponents in order to control and defeat them. ("Grapeshot" was Napoleon's use of cannons like shotguns to fire shrapnel at those opposing his troops.) By the time of that event, Napoleon had already established his military reputation against the British in the Battle of Toulon.


The Directory was the 5-man committee that led France in the later stages of the Revolution.  But the Directory was ineffective and weak, and Napoleon was showing himself to be strong and effective in battles for France.  Napoleon conspired to plan a military coup, with the cooperation of two Directory members, Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyes and Pierre Roger Ducos.  But before long, Napoleon positioned himself to be solely in charge of French government.

How did Americans at home aid the war effort
zheka24 [161]
I am going to presume you mean WWII. The people back in the United States supported the servicemen in many ways. They went on rations of those items that were hard to get in wartime such as gasoline, sugar, fuel oil, tires, and nylons. They often cut back on their own food so there was enough to send to the troops. They planted victory gardens in their yards to supplement their meals. It is said that with so many planting just a small amount of a garden, regular people produced at least 40% of the vegetables in the United States. They actually started the idea of "recycling" with gathering aluminum cans to be for the soldiers. People also would recycle tire rubber and paper. The government urged Americans to eat less red meat and fats to save it for servicemen's meals. It actually led to healthier lifestyles.Families would have meals like Meatless Mondays when they would eat only vegetables and fruit. There was also Wheatless Wednesdays where they would do without bread or anything that used flour. Americans bought war bonds, served in Red Cross centers and provided entertainment in the USO clubs for military people.
