Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon

During the years from Napoleon's birth in 1769 to 1796, when the Directory was firmly established, Europe passed through a period of great importance. In the East of Europe the Partitions of Poland, 1772, 1793, 1795, and the successful wars of Catherine II, against Turkey, ending in the Treaties of Kainardji, 1774, and Jassy, 1792, had marked the rise of Russia. That event tended to change constitute the balance of power in Europe, and had led to important modification in the foreign policy of the chief European States.

The rise of Russia to a leading place in Europe had to be recognized, while her intention to take part in Western politics was unmistakably shown in 1799, when Suvorov, at the head of a Russian army, entered Italy. While this revolution was in progress in the North of Europe, other revolutions of a different character were taking place elsewhere.
