When did Napoleon Bonaparte become First Consul of the Republic?
Answer
Napoleon Bonaparte came to power in 1799 with the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire. He was First Consul until 2 August 1802, then Consul for life until 18 May 1804, when he was proclaimed Emperor of the French by a sénatus-consulte followed by a plebiscite.
