Answer 1

Nationalism arose in many of the regions that were part of Napoleon's empire as people resented being conquered and wanted to reclaim the ways of their original cultures.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The continuous streaks of conquering new lands and bringing them under control carried out by Napoleon Bonaparte and his army troops showed no signs of ceasing anytime in the near future.
• The populations from different parts of Europe began unifying to retaliate to the possible attempts of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte and his army as they were conquering any part of Europe they wished to.
