This era existed during the fourth and final stage of the [[French Revolution]]. It is the time when Napoleon ruled France. The Napoleonic era begins when [[Napoléon Bonaparte]] began to rule by overthrowing the government of France which was then called the Directory, creating the French Consulate. The era ends with [[Hundred Days]] and his defeat at the [[Battle of Waterloo]] (November 9, 1799 - June 28, 1815). Afterwards, the [[Congress of Vienna]] tried to bring Europe back to pre-French Revolution days. It was a time of many wars in Europe. {{History-stub}} [[Category:1800s in Europe]] [[Category:1810s in France]] [[Category:1800s in France]] [[Category:1810s in Europe]]
