Detailed explanation-1: -Napoleon Bonaparte took power in France on November 9th/10th 1799. The coup of 18/19 Brumaire in the Year VIII of the republican calendar is generally taken to mark the end of the French Revolution and the beginning of Napoleon Bonaparte’s dictatorship.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alexander broke the Treaty of Tilsit with France by trading with England, openly challenging Napoleon’s power. On April 12, 1814, Napoleon was forced to abdicate his throne after allied Austrian, Prussian and Russian forces vanquished his army and occupied Paris.
