Napoleon Part V: The Consolidation of Bonaparte’s Dictatorship

This is the fifth in a series of eight episodes detailing the life of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.  This episode begins with a recounting of the 18 Brumaire, the coup that resulted in his ascension to First Consul.  From there will we examine the policies that were enacted during the interwar years, including Napoleon's rewriting of the entire French legal code before returning to the problem that was posed by an aging Josephine.  Upon finalizing his divorce, a choice had to be made regarding his next empress; it was one that would help to decide how the end of his story was to be written.
