WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Directory was a fatal experiment in weak executive powers; it was created in reaction to the puritanical dictatorship that had existed under the Reign of Terror of 1793–94, and it would end up yielding to the more disciplined dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Directory suffered from widespread corruption.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Directory (also called Directorate, French: le Directoire) was the governing five-member committee in the French First Republic from 2 November 1795 until 9 November 1799, when it was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Coup of 18 Brumaire and replaced by the Consulate.

Detailed explanation-3: -In November 1799, in an event known as the coup of 18 Brumaire, Napoleon was part of a group that successfully overthrew the French Directory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Napoleon returned to France in November of 1799 to find that the Directory had lost the support of many in the country. Along with others, Napoleon carried out a coup d’état against the Directory and replaced the government with the French Consulate, with himself as the First Consul.
