How many foreign countries did Napoleon suppress?

Answer 1

Hundreds! For one thing, before Napoleon started campaigning in "Germany," that country was divided into 300 cities, principality-bishoprics, duchies, principalities, and counties. When he was done, there were just 15 German states. The Council of Vienna wisely decided to keep things as they were.

He named his brother Louis Bonaparte King of Holland. This had been the United Provinces of the Netherlands. That is another country suppressed. He removed King Louis later when the king would not follow his policy of avoiding trade with England. The Netherlands has been a constitutional monarchy since William I in 1815.

Otherwise, I cannot think of a country suppressed by Napoleon. Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia all "bounced back."

Answer 2

Steve_geo1's answer is really good, and I would like to add Spain and England to that, for very different reasons.

Napoleon seated a relative of his on the Spanish throne, and deprived Spain of the wealth of its American colonies for a time. (The Mexican celebration of Cinco de Mayo is actually not about independence from Spain but about the expulson of the Bonapartist governor ... Maximilian?)

Napoleon also threatened the naval supremacy of England, and contemplated a land invation. England was "suppressed" in the sense of experiencing a significant military threat by its closest Continental neighbor (sorry - are the Netherlands closer?), and having to dedicate itself to an expensive series of naval conflicts. Probably not the intent of the asker.
