 For the France and for Napoleon; the battle of Nile

The battle of Nile fought the 1th  and 2th August 1798 near Abukir, Egypt, has determined the reaction of Napoleon(1769-1821) that for avoid the exclusion fro the French policy, he after the defeat after this battle, he gone back to France and he took the absolutely power, but the principal motive for this  radical change, was this battle and defeat. The England fleet was leaded from Oration nelson(1758-1805), that has short experience to naval battles, but he was “a natural born predator”; , in opinion of Lord St. Vincent, chief of the fleet of his majesty; this choose seems also absolutely right, since nelson has won; but this choose was determined  alone from the fair of the mentioned chiefs; because napoleon has won in Italy and he was taking the successes in much battles; hence a battle against Napoleon could determine the exclusion of these chiefs from the England policy, therefore an unknown chief as nelson was perfect, because the other chiefs would keep their positions; and the proof of this  mistrust is for the number of ships given to nelson, that were less than of Napoleon; inasmuch the chiefs previewed  a defeat. After the Napoleon’s defeat, every allies but will or not to be, when the new, this is the defeat of France, they tried other coalition against Napoleon; furthermore in France there were the conspiracy theorist that wanted the exclusion of Napoleon, in fact he embarked  and gone back to France. It is normal because when you have defeated, automatically you are the failed. Bu8t evidently Napoleon has understood that his period has ended; hence he managed a coup d’Etat, that has excluded the Directoire, this is the principal institution for the laws; a first triumvirate  was composed from Napoleon, Pierre Ducos(1747-1816) and Emmanuelle Sieyès(1748-1836), the members were three but the power has had alone Napoleon, and after the same was nominated consul for the life in 1802; the ideas of Sieyès were very determining for the develop of autocracy; because after some year of contrast  in the Directoire, swinging between the return to monarchy and the Jacobin extremism, but also the financial crisis: the paper money by now was very low, and the bankrupt was a reality, the inflation was very high, and the popular and the middle classes have has lost the possibility; the Revolution is going to be end, because the people would make other revolution, but against that of in 1789, fro the return to monarchy; in fact the Directoire has lied more  to the military power, and certainly it was a valid aid to Napoleon, and it explains to use the coup d’Etat, because after the defeat of Nile or Abukir, Napoleon would be excluded from every effective power; whereby the triumvirate was, fro the economic context , the minor harm. The economic and political frame has certainly aided Napoleon, but he has made very much.
