French client republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During Napoleon's occupation of Europe, many republics were established. The French Republic claimed to support the spread of the republican principles in Europe, but most of these republics, known as French client republics or Sister republics, were merely a way to control the occupied lands through a mix of direct French control and local government. The republics typically based their existence on the presence of the Napoleonic Army; on the other side, the French administration often ruled with the only purpose of draining as many resources (food, money and soldiers) as possible for the benefit of France. The institution of republican governments, promoting nationality over the rule of the royal families (Bourbons, Habsburgs) set the stage for the appearance of nationalist sentiment in all Europe, which significantly influenced the course of European history (see 1830 and Revolutions of 1848).
