With the ‘universal tyrant’ safely exiled to the mid-Atlantic the main priority was to restore stability to France.

The confrontation of returning émigrés who had ‘learnt nothing and forgotten nothing’ and the new classes of bourgeois, propertied men and professional officials would prove to be too severe to establish a stable regime.
