In the areas conquered by Napoleon, the reactions of the local populations to French rule were mixed. Initially, in many places such as Holland and Switzerland, as well as in certain cities like Brussels, Mainz, Milan and Warsaw, the French armies were welcomed as harbingers of liberty. But this soon turned to hostility, as it became clear that the new administrative arrangements did not go hand in hand with political freedom. Increased taxation, censorship, forced conscription into the French armies required to conquer the rest of Europe, all seemed to outweigh the advantages of the administrative changes

In the territories captured by Napoleon, the effects of the local communities due to the rule of french were diverse. Originally, in several countries such as Holland and Switzerland, as well as in several municipalities like Brussels, the French soldiers were embraced as indications of liberty. But this quickly transformed into hatred, as it was evident that new organizational methods were not supported by administrative freedom. Extended taxation, suppression, limited enrollment into the French soldiers forced to capture the rest of Europe, all appeared to overbalance the benefits of the administrative changes
