Conclusion

Effect that Napoleon had on Nationalism:

Nationalism emerged from the French Revolution which was used by Napoleon to make France a great power, and to make other empires fall. The more and more better things Napoleon did, the greater the nationalism became in France. When he abdicated, and the new king (Louis XVIII) came to power, nationalism became limited. Then, once again Napoleon came to power and upped the moral of the people, making him gain even more supporters. Then when he had been exiled for the second time, there was no collapse in nationalism, just a decline.

I think even though one country overpowered another country , it seemed they never gave up and they all maintained nationalism. The more victories they had, the more nationalistic they became.
