After times of war/hardships that included helping in the revolutionary war and the 7 years' war something needed to be planned to pay off the significant debt. France's financial situation caused King Louis XVl to call a hearing for the clearly, nobility, and commoners (the citizens). The commoners held over 600 people who passionately spoke out of the harsh life that France gives 99% of its residences and restructuring France's debt would only povertize the peasants more while the high-up wealthy, don't pay a dime of taxes.

This tragedy gave room for a republic to be formed in replacement of the monarchy.

Although Napoleon could already be seen as an absolute emperor, he held a coronation to remind the French citizens to fear but also cherish who was in charge. His crowning brought an official end to the French Republic and brought back a higher authority. Being his own crowner showed that he would be taking orders from no one (in France or anywhere in Europe). With the country being heavily populated with religious-based citizens, the pope was at the crowning to give them a sense of conformation that this was the future and it is what god wanted.

Napoleon was riding at an all time high during this point in his life. He had defeated many European powers along the way with his eyes set on conquering even more. But things quickly shifted when he took on Czar Alexander and Russia. Alexander started to act hostile to his former ally France with heavy taxes on all luxury goods imported into France. So Napoleon and his ego took 650,000 soldiers from all over Europe into Russia to conquer yet another power. Bonaparte and his army seemed stunned by the outnumbered Russian's tactic to give up lots of ground and seemed close to surrender. But Alexander and his army were only playing tricks on the powerhouse military of France. They used their cold harsh weather climate to their advantage and let Mother Nature take out almost all of Napoleon's Army leading to a major defeat.
