The main opponents of Napoleon was Britain, and later joined by Austrio-Hungary, Germany, the Russian Empire, and many other smaller nations.
These countries felt a need to oppose France under Napoleon, for they themselves had monarch governments, and on seeing the French Revolution that led to the capitulation of the Royal government and civil unrest, which led to the rise of (what they thought) was a fanatical Bonaparte, they believed that, if their own people took a hold of the ways of the French, that they themselves would be thrown out of power. This led to the governments of these other nations to band together to throw Bonaparte out and reinstate the royal family to re-balance the royal structure in Europe.

The Aswan High Dam was built to regulate and control the annual flooding of the Nile River in order to protect crops and property from such uncontrolled flooding and to generate electricity. Most of its effects have been positive but several environmental effects are:
- Water-logging: because of the continuous high levels of water, the soil around the area is saturated with water, which prevents oxygenation of the soil that is essential to several plants and crops.
- Salinization of soils: caused by the inability of water-saturated soils to absorb salt, it is toxic to crops and damaging to infrastructures.
- Soil Erosion: it is a consequence of soil salinization as crops die and are unable to hold the soil in place.
There were also other negative effects such as:
- Archeology: two important archeological sites of Ancient Egypt were flooded and covered by the dam waters: the ancient cemetery of Fadrus and the Buhen fort.
- Loss of sediment: the annual flooding carried an enormous amount of sediment that is now trapped within the resulting Lake Nasser. Many of these sediments were used by local industries to manufacture bricks and they lost access to this renewable source of raw materials.
- More expensive and difficult purification of water: because the water does not move as much it is more transparent and allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper. This, combined with the trapped sediments has increased the growth of algae that have proliferated to the point that water purification is more and more expensive due to the necessary removal of this plant.
