And even then you win so many battles that the enemy strategy revolves around not fighting you.

If you mean the coalition wars after the French revolution (that became the Napoleonic wars), it’s actually that every other country banded together , because they all wanted to subdue the revolutionary France and declared war on THEM to restore the French monarchy. The French revolutionary army proved so successful in the end (due to Napoleon among other things) that they had to do it over and over again.

It’s not a good list given that some countries switched sides more than a few times. Spain specially comes to mind

Half of these “countries” are basically just small regions in the modern DACH area nowadays lol

Half these countries were flip-flopping sides through the period listed. Great Britain might be the only constant on the other side.

As a swede, we really shouldn’t have joined this. It just led to us losing Finland and Pomerania. We should have just blown with the wind and avoided losing territory instead of being one of the most determined and consistent coalition members. Sure, we got Norway, but it wasn’t worth it and we probably could have gotten it without losing Finland and Pomerania

Half of these countries are just Germany in a different flavor.

THE FRENCH ARE ALSO FIGHTING THEMSELF !
remember this was during/after an famine, so the gouvernement had to deal with the entirety of Europe and more trying to kill France, also to crush an rebellion and stop the famine while trying to slowly make an democratic republic

Is it true that these countries were funded by the then London bank as Britain saw napoleon as a threat to its empire and given that British pound was the dominant currency at that time they could loan out the money to countries and warriors to unite against Napoleon?
