Coup of 30 Prairial VII
 |
The Coup of 30 Prairial Year VII (French: Coup d'État du 30 prairial an VII), also known as the Revenge of the Councils (French: revanche des conseils), was a bloodless coup in France that occurred on 18 June 1799 (30 Prairial Year VII by the French Republican Calendar). It left Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès as the dominant figure of the French government, and prefigured the coup of 18 Brumaire that brought Napoleon Bonaparte to power.
