Moreover liberals wanted Napoleon iii to transition the state and they knew he’d do it

He kept skirting and breaching the rules of the republic

Liberals loved Napoleon iii

They knew he had to consolidate power before reforming

completely separate events

Did you read anything I wrote

I did, it was literally all wrong

Also pretty sure nap uses regulars in both

the event where he put down the monarchist revolt was as a general in the Army of the Interior

and it was sanctioned by Citizen Barras

the latter event was also done using men of that same army when Napoleon came back from years of campaigning

This bloodless coup overthrew the directory

Where did he get a referendum

and he had the support of various ministers and the 3 of the 5 Directors

Where did he get a referendum

1804

Also it’s DEFINITELY true liberals thought of nap iii as a positive development and he played on them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1804_French_constitutional_referendum

1917 was trash

also the coup in 1799 was just to overthrow the Council of Ancients and the Council of Five Hundred

because the Directory as an institution had already been compromised

when the Abbe Sieyes purged 3 of the 5 Directors

Seems pretty liberal to me

yes that is the point

Could it be Anglo liberals and French liberals are different

you can't have French politics without a Liberal angle

that was the whole point of the Revolution

Nap iii certainly wasn’t a conservative

there were no "French Liberals" until 1815

Which was your og argument

the Revolutionaries were Jacobinists

I wonder, how is it precisely different to actually belong to a race/ethnicity as opposed to being mixed and not belong to any ethnic/racial group? What are the benefits?

and the Directors that supported Napoleon's coup were all Centrist anti-Monarchists

French radical republicans can be considered in the scheme liberal

Centrists aren’t conservative Lmfao

Liberals refers to the *Liberalists*

Even though he basically was a liberal

Centrists are often more based than actual cons

who wanted free trade, freedom of property, personal freedom etc etc
