![Page 14: FRENCH REVOLUTION and the ERA of EMPEROR NAPOLEON (1789-1815)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815f5f550346895dce45d2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Issue #1: warsRivalries in Europe
Each European nation was like an individual battling for existence.
They made friends only to become more powerful.
One example is France vs. Austria.
15
Wars are expensive!
So, how do you stop them from happening?

Solution to RivalryAnswer: use marriage to create friendshipsAustrian government forced Austrian princess to marry the French prince (who would be king – “DAUPHIN”).
Marie Antoinette of Austria… and…Louis August of France.(will be Louis XVI)
