8. Conclusion

Napoleon Bonaparte Had a great effect on Nationalism in France and the rest of Europe. The wars that he won not by luck, but by strategy gave France most of the power in Europe. It also gave them Confidence as a new superpower which is one of the main ideas in Nationalism. France took on most of Europe and conquered it. During this time there was crises in France with problems such as the new coalition of Britain, Austria and, Russia to new laws and regulations (Napoleonic Code and Coupe d'etat). Napoleon handled all this in two and a half decades and made France a stronger nation to this day. This is a prime example of Nationalism for what one would do for his country and what one man could do to help his country grow and be strong
