The French Revolution that began in 1789 was an important watershed in French history. It ended more than 1,000 years of feudal rule and began a period of the establishment and development of capitalism.

In November 1799, Napoleon launched the Brumaire Coup and established a ruling government. In 1804, Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Republic of France into the First French Empire, abolished democracy and freedom, strengthened centralization, and promulgated The Civil Code legally safeguarded and consolidated capitalist ownership and the bourgeois social and economic order, and played a positive role in the development of capitalism in France.
