The right answer is the French.
At the beginning of the second half of the eighteenth century, France became entangled in countless wars. Add to this atmosphere France had to face two crises: 1) a crisis in the field, due to the bad harvests of the 1770s and 1780s, which generated an inflation of 62%; and 2) a financial crisis, derived from the accumulated public debt, mainly due to the lack of economic modernization - mainly the lack of investment in the industrial sector. An assembly to formulate a new constitution for France was proposed, but this proposal did not obtain an answer on the part of the king, the nobility and the High Clergy. Bourgeois, workers and other members of the third state declared themselves in a meeting to formulate a constitution, even without the response of the first and second states.
At the same time, a popular uprising began in Paris and another between the peasants. The Revolution began. In 1795, the bourgeoisie was able to regain power and, through a new constitution, institute a new phase for the Revolution, called the Directory, a body made up of five members nominated by the deputies. One of the youngest and most prominent generals of the Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, was the name expected by the bourgeoisie to put order to the French political situation. In 1799, upon returning from Egypt to France, Napoleon found a conspiratorial scenario against the government of the Directory. It was in this scenario that he came to appear as a dictator, initially, giving the coup of 18 Brumaire (according to the revolutionary calendar), and then as Emperor of France. The Napoleonic period lasted from 1800 to 1815 and changed the political landscape of the European continent while expanding the nationalist ideal to various regions of the world.
