The significance of the Directory was that France obviously needed another power to come in and rule. The directory was doing no job of picking France back up. France continued to decrease financially, with taxes and bread prices still high. This also helped lead a way to a new power being considered to overthrow the Directory. This then would eventually lead to the new person who is invited by Sieyes to come and take over, Napoleon Bonaparte.
