From 1789 to 1812, France experienced several shifts in government systems. Initially, the French Revolution led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in 1791, which was short-lived as it gave way to the First French Republic in 1792. This period saw the rise of radical political factions and the Reign of Terror, culminating in the establishment of the Consulate in 1799, with Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul. By 1804, Napoleon declared himself Emperor, marking the transition to the First French Empire.
