Napoleon Seizes Power - The Brumaire Coup (Epic History)

In 1799, the young French Republic faced war with a coalition of European enemies, and an unpopular and corrupt government at home.

In the midst of disorder, military hero Napoleon Bonaparte returns from his campaign in Egypt. He has built a formidable reputation, he is adored by the people, and is viewed as an essential ally for those vying for power.

But Napoleon has his own ambitions, and on one famous day in November, he will take decisive action to make them a reality. This is the full story of the Brumaire Coup - a day that changed the course of French history.



When things go bad, strong men tend to step in and take power. Europe at present is sliding into anarchy through open borders policies and the high cost of living. Will the French military step in once more to 'save France'?
