Answer 1

Napoleon spread the ideals of the Enlightenment to the countries he conquered, which liberated and empowered citizens in other countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

While Napoleon was a dictator with his own agenda to meet at Europe's expense, sacrificing many human lives as he tried to conquer the region, Napoleon did believe in some of the ideals of the Enlightenment. He spread these ideas throughout Europe by setting up more equal and balanced government systems in each area he conquered.

Answer 2

Correct answer is c. Napoleon spread the ideals of the Enlightenment to the countries he conquered, which liberated and empowered citizens in other countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is not correct as it is far away from true that he spread democracy, especially in that period when France was a monarchy again.

Option B is not correct as Napoleon used the fortune of the country to spread the influence of France, not to divide it to other nations.

Option C is correct as the ideals of French revolution were spread with his campaigns, which later led to nationalist movements in those areas.

Option D is not correct as Napoleon wasn't enthusiastic about strengthening the role of the church.
