Rise of nationalism in Europe after the defeat of Napoleon
France wanted to avoid the feeling of geographic encirclement by these two Habsburg Empires.
The answer would have to be France, the Habsburg empires of Spain and Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. Britain was on the rise, but - just as in the case of Russia - would reach superpower status only at the end of the Napoleontic period.
Both French Cardinals made it their prime objective to secure the independence of France and to keep the Habsburg Monarchy, which controlled Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands from boxing France in.
France got invaded by the rebellions and peoples died and stuff xD :p
The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was the proximate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Europe, including the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, France, and Italy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination by a Yugoslav nationalist resulted in a Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia. Several alliances formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; via their colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world.

who hurted the France empire and why?
Louis XIV was the king of France and Navarre. His social class and that of his family was Royalty, of course. He was descended from the Bourbon kings of France on his father's side and from the Habsburg Spanish/Austrian kings/emperors on his mother's side. He had nothing but royal ancestors dating back hundreds of years from the the Habsburg line and the Bourbon line was also of ancient royalty and nobility.
* That request resulted in The Crusades. * Although the Western Roman Empire ended in 476, The Holy Roman Empire participants in the Crusades such as France, Germany & Austria as well other European countries such as Spain, England and others were originally parts of the Western Roman Empire. * The Byzantine Empire lasted until 1453, when it finally fell to the Ottoman Turks.
France was never part of the British Empire.
