Napoleon took control of the French government in 1799 by overthrowing the five-member Directory. This event, known as the Coup of 18 Brumaire, led to the establishment of the Consulate, with Napoleon becoming one of the three consuls and effectively the main leader of France. While he later declared himself Emperor of France in 1804, his rise to power in 1799 was primarily through the coup against the Directory.
