| Between
1798 and 1802 Austria, Russia, and Britain were joined
in the Second Coalition against France. Napoleon
continued to successfully lead the French armies and brought
peace to France in 1802, ending the Second Coalition.
He
tried to create peace within France by providing an amnesty
to all political refugees, and filling his government offices
with people of diverse political beliefs.
Because
he had brought peace to the land, both domestically and
in foreign affairs, Frenchmen rewarded Napoleon with the
office of Consul For Life in 1802.
