The monarchia austriaca was certainly one of Napoleon’s main adversaries, from both a military and diplomatic point of view, even if Helmut Rumpler’s opinion of Austria as the ‘centre of anti-Napoleonic resistance’1 seems to slightly exaggerate the role and importance of the Habsburg monarchy. At the domestic level the Napoleonic era was crucial for the formation of an Austrian nation and for the internal unification and centralization of the Austrian monarchy.
