Question

What common effect did the Napoleonic Wars have on the European countries of Spain, Austria, and Russia?

Answer 1

Answer:

At some point, they all allied with Britain against Napoleon.

Explanation:

The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) were a series of European conflicts that pitted the French Empire and its allies against constantly changing coalitions of other European countries who opposed France. These coalitions fluctuated according to these countries' current interests, internal affairs, and disposition to join the war against Napoleon Bonaparte's France. However, the one European power who opposed France during the entirety of the Napoleonic Wars and the single recurring member of all coalitions was Great Britain. At one point or another, Austria, Russia and Spain joined the coalitions that battled the French Empire, so by forming part of said coalitions, these European powers were allied with Britain against Napoleon. With the final defeat of Napoleon and the defeat of the French Empire in 1815, Austria, Russia and the United Kingdom created a new European-wide political system, called the Concert of Europe, where they became the leading powers in the continent.

Answer 2

Answer:

The common effect that the Napoleonic Wars had on Spain, Austria and Russia was that, despite winning the war, they were no longer among the powerful nations of Europe.

Explanation:

One of the countries that suffered the most attacks from the French was Spain, which brought as a consequence the lost of its dominions over the American colonies.

In other words, the Latin American countries were gradually gaining their independence, as they had also sought inspiration in the nationalist and libertarian ideals of the French country.

With respect to Austria and Russia, the Congress of Vienna determined that these would recover their lost territories before France. But even so, the war formed a new power: Great Britain, which displaced these countries as the main European powers.
