Napoleon�s Rise to Power
Napoleon Bonaparte�s rise to power started when he won two battles in six weeks as a young ruthless leader and gave riches to his soldiers who hadn�t seen riches in a long time. So for one the people liked winning battles with this young upbeat leader and second the people like getting rewarded for their hard work which anyone in the right state of mind likes. Napoleon also encouraged his troops greatly which obviously gets supports from people who are receiving compliments from the leader. His people also liked being a part of Napoleon�s way of fighting which was unique and ruthless. He would attack in the morning, at night and attack every day which was different and more severe than any other fighters of his time. If you�re a Frenchmen its hard not support Bonaparte because you, the person, started out as a great underdog with a young leader who many called a joke but under his rule you are receiving pay for you work and you are defeating opponents and gaining land on the way. As the person you like being on the winning end of the battle seeing your leader use new tactics that are disappointing and fooling other powerful leaders. You like that Napoleon cares about your life to a point in which he creates and uses a new battle tactic every battle so that the opposing leader cannot predict what was his next move, which helped save many lives.
Napoleon now had the people of France supporting him because of his intelligence and skill on the battlefield and in the government. His rise to power was still going, he wanted to get the respect of other countries and have himself recognized as an all powerful leader. The only way to make himself known was by defeating and conquering powers all over Europe and the East. People thought that it was impossible for a European power to defeat and conquer any Eastern power, but Napoleon thought different, going to Eastern countries and defeating them. Now Napoleon has power and the support of his people which puts him at the peak of his power and allowed him to betray his people because he so many people under his rule and so much land.
