Fighting the French did help a lot
Hatred of the French brings people together.
Interacting with France is the gateway drug to country-hood.
Nothing quite like the mutual desire to not be french for making friends.
Acshually briefly being governed by a certain french gentleman helped a lot more.
You're right. Bonaparte is the common factor of every European country's journey to unification, except the UK of course
It usually does, no matter the context.
