Detailed explanation-1: -Napoleon’s conquests cemented the spread of French revolutionary legislation to much of western Europe. The powers of the Roman Catholic church, guilds, and manorial aristocracy came under the gun. The old regime was dead in Belgium, western Germany, and northern Italy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nationalism was important to Napoleon. He needed to keep his citizens loyal to France so that he could stay in power and spread his country’s influence throughout Europe. Napoleon’s aggression, however, increased the nationalistic impulses in his enemies and those he conquered.
Detailed explanation-3: -Napoleon brought political stability to a land torn by revolution and war. He made peace with the Roman Catholic Church and reversed the most radical religious policies of the Convention. In 1804 Napoleon promulgated the Civil Code, a revised body of civil law, which also helped stabilize French society.
