Correct answer: Britain and Russia.
More precisely: Britain was France’s principal long-term enemy—it opposed Napoleon to prevent French domination of Europe, to protect British trade and imperial interests, and to maintain the balance of power. Russia opposed Napoleon because French expansion and the creation of satellite states threatened Russian influence in Europe and the security of its borders. (Other major opponents included Austria and Prussia; the Napoleonic Wars were fought by shifting coalitions rather than a single pair of enemies.)
