The battle was largely responsible for the rapid advancement of Republican General Napoleon Bonaparte's career.<br />The defeat of the Royalist insurrection extinguished the threat to the Convention. Bonaparte became a national hero, and was quickly promoted to Général de Division and military commander of Paris.Within five months, he was given command of the Armée d'Italie. The defeated royalists, in an effort to portray the Republican defense as a massacre, nicknamed Bonaparte Général Vendémiaire, a title which he later claimed would be his first title of glory. The new military commander of Paris was also given the choiciest apartment in the Place Vendome! A few years later, for his coronation as Emperor of the French, the best jeweler in the Place Vendome made his crown and that of his wife the Empress Josephine. Peter, this post made me want to be back a Paris so badly. Your photos are incredible! Un millon de gracias.
