Napoleon rose to power because he was a noted military hero.
His rapid rise came from battlefield successes (Italy, Egypt) and the prestige and influence those victories gave him during the unstable post‑Revolution period, allowing him to seize power in the 1799 coup. The other statements are incorrect: he did not have backing from the old royal family, he did not simply reject Enlightenment ideas (he adopted some, like legal equality and meritocracy), and he did not oppose warfare.
