Answer 2

Explanation:

Areas which were conquered by France, people’s reactions towards French rule were mixed. Initially, the French armies were seen as the torchbearers of liberty. But very soon people could realize that the new administrative system was not going to guarantee political freedom. Increase in taxes, censorship and forced conscription into the French armies were seen as outweighing the advantages of administrative changes which Napoleon brought.

In many places like Holland, Switzerland the French army was initially welcomed but later the French imperialistic designs outweighed the advantages. Areas occupied by the French were made subservient to the French needs.
