Despite civil code and administrative reforms why did Napoleon come to be seen as an invader rather than a liberator?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because he increased control and burden on local people
The governing concept is Napoleon’s mixed legacy. The Civil Code, legal equality, and administrative reforms weakened some feudal privileges and modernised governance. However, French conquest also brought foreign military control, taxation, requisitioning, and conscription. These pressures made many people resent Napoleon as an occupier. Option A captures this contradiction; B, C, and D are incorrect because taxes, military demands, and foreign control did not disappear.
