Summary "World's Best Histories — Volume 7: France" by François Guizot and Madame de Witt is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses specifically on the history of France during a pivotal period marked by the establishment of the Consulate (1799-1804) under General Bonaparte, who later becomes known as Napoleon. It delves into the struggles for governance following the chaos of the French Revolution, outlining the political landscape and the central figures involved in the formation of a new government. The opening of the text discusses the tumultuous decade that preceded Bonaparte’s rise, detailing France’s search for a stable government after the monarchy's fall and the subsequent failures of various republican structures. It highlights the widespread support Bonaparte garnered as he consolidated power, and his authoritative governance style as he began to reshape France's political and military ambitions. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of Bonaparte's early reforms, military strategies, and the underlying tensions that would accompany his ascent and shape the future of France.
