The spirit of French nationalism had made possible the mass armies of the revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. However, Napoleon's spread of the principles of the French Revolution beyond France indirectly brought a spread of nationalism as well. The French aroused nationalism in two ways. First, they were hated as oppressors. This hatred stirred the patriotism of others in oppostition to the French. Second, the French showed the people of Europe what nationalism was and what a nation in arms could do.

What is nationalism and what role did it play in Napoleons fall from power?

Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the interests and culture of a particular nation, often prioritizing national identity over global or imperial considerations. During Napoleon's rule, his expansionist policies and imposition of French control across Europe sparked nationalist sentiments in conquered territories, leading to widespread resistance. This growing nationalism fueled uprisings and opposition against French rule, significantly contributing to his downfall as it undermined his empire and ultimately led to his defeat in 1815.
