What led to the downfall of Murat's reign?

  • Neapolitan War

  • Invasion of France

  • Treaty of Paris

  • Congress of Vienna

Answer

The downfall of Murat's rule can be attributed to his involvement in the Neapolitan War, which was an ill-advised military campaign against Austria. This war was prompted by Murat's desire to unify Italy under his rule, but it proved disastrous as the Austrian forces comprehensively defeated the Neapolitan army.
