well, first of all, he was defending France in the beginning as Austria attacked France first, thus beginning the Napoleonic Age. What caused his downfall was the removal of all of the royalist admirals from the French Navy, so no one had the expertise to train men to fight on the high seas against the greatest navy in the world at the time(Royal Navy).
