true

false

Answer 1

The statement is **false**. While Napoleon's rule did have some influence on European countries, including the spread of certain legal codes such as the Napoleonic Code, it did not universally make Europeans love France or remove their desire for self-rule. In many cases, Napoleon's conquests fostered nationalist sentiments and a desire for independence among various European populations. Additionally, his rule is often seen as having imposed foreign domination, which contrasted with local desires for self-governance.
