What actions of the French caused discontent and aroused anti-French sentiment?

First, the French acted extremely selfishly towards the “client states” – they charged them huge reparations, imposed unfavorable trade conditions, and neglected their interests. Secondly, it was associated with cases of plunder and looting by the French army. Thirdly, the regimes established by the French were often dictatorial in nature, and in Napoleon’s time, the rulers of the “clients” were his relatives, who rather followed the instructions of the French emperor.
