Its Directory (or Directoire) era.
Who were the Council of Elders in the French Revolution?
It was the upper house of the Directory. Part of legislature from August 22, 1795 to November 9, 1799.
What kind of government did France have after the French Revolution?
From 1795 until 1799 (so still during the revolution) there was a directory system. This system soon grew unpopular with the French citizens and Napoleon Bonaparte took advantage of the weak position the directory was in, and committed a coup (in 17899, and with this he ended the French Revolution). He eventually crowned himself emperor and made France into an Empire.
Who ruled France from 1794-1799?
The National Convention held power during the first years of the Republic, after which executive power was held by the French Directory - a body of 5 Directors - from November 1795 to November 1799.
Why did the directory fail?
Napoleon Bonaparte teamed up with two other directors (one of them Abbe Sieyes) and overthrew the other directors in a coup d' etat. The directory system was then abolished, and the consulate of France was established with Napoleon as first consul for a ten year term. He was essentially a military dictator.
