November 9, 1799.
quote:
The Coup of 18 Brumaire brought Napoleon Bonaparte to power as First Consul of the French First Republic. In the view of most historians, it ended the French Revolution and would soon lead to the coronation of Napoleon as Emperor of the French. This bloodless coup d'état overthrew the Directory, replacing it with the French Consulate. This occurred on 9 November 1799, which was 18 Brumaire, Year VIII, under the short-lived French Republican calendar system.

Can he come back? He’d be rolling in his grave if he saw what his France looks like now

Wild times in France. Corruption, executions, constant instability, military continuously deployed to attack their own citizens, despots replacing despots, etc.
Napoleon brought order to the Revolution. Inevitably, he would also evolve into a despot. He did also manage to scare the Hell out of the monarchies and nobility throughout Europe along the way.
