Shortly after his birth, the island was annexed by the Kingdom of France and he grew up a supporter of the French. During the French Revolution, Bonaparte supported the revolution and showcased his skill in military tactics early on in defeating the Austrians and Italians in April 1796.He shot to fame two years later when he led a French expedition to Egypt. His tactics and successes were now impossible to ignore and he would use that fame as a springboard to absolute control in France during the revolution. He orchestrated a coup in 1799 that resulted in him becoming the First Consul of the Republic.
