30. role of plebiscites in napoleon's rise to power

The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars that changed European powers and produced a French hegemony in Europe for a brief period. The major changes of the wars on Europe were the rise of the middle class, the rise of commerce and industry and the shift of power because European monarchs could not restore old absolutism, so they had to make alliances with the new powers that emerged with the Napoleonic Wars.

The major accomplishment of the Concordat of 1801 was the restoration of the Catholic Church in France. Napoleon was given the right to nominate bishops, bishoprics and parishes and seminaries.

This agreement was important because during the French Revolution there were intense church reforms and the many confiscations of the church’s property and this mended the relationship.

After the French Revolution, France became politically unstable and other European powers used this on their favor and tried to invade French territories. Because of that Napoleon became a famous figure because he was in the French military and won against Austria and Italy.

He used plebiscites to make himself Emperor of France since he could not do it in a legal way. In a simple way, he used plebiscites as a coup d’etat to take power to himself as Emperor and centralize the government.
