**First French Empireball** was a historic stateball in  Franceball and was a major European empire that managed to conquer virtually all of Europe at the height of its power. During the early 19th century,  **First French Empireball** invaded its neighbors and annexed their clay into its clay expanding France's borders and creating various client states and vassals across Europe. It was one of the most powerful empires.

In an attempt to break the will of  UKball, who remained defiant towards  Franceball,  French Empireball established the Continental System to economically boycott Britainball, but it failed and after  Kingdom of Portugalball refused to comply, neighboring  Spainball was invaded sparking the Peninsular War and in 1813, it invaded  Russian Empireball after it opened up trade routes with  UKball, kidnapping  Belarusball in the process. The invasion was a disaster and it ended in French defeat and by 1815, the empire collapsed and was occupied by the victories coalition powers who restored the  Kingdom of Franceball after one last stand at the Battle of Waterloo. First French Empireball was formed from  French First Republicball in 1805 after years of turmoil and unrest that dominated  France during the French Revolution. During its early stages,  French Empireball advanced fast and marched into  Italyball establishing a vassal state known as the  Napoleonic Kingdom of Italyball from the previous  Italian Republicball that existed prior to the empire's birth. The empire would march onward to victory securing countless victories over and over again against  Kingdom of Prussiaball,  UKball, and many other rival European powers. In 1806, Franceball scored a decisive victory against  Holy Roman Empireball and the empire collapsed and was reorganized into  Rhine Confederationball.

But new problems had emerged as  Russian Empireball began to break away from the Continental System sparking an invasion of the country that same year. The French Invasion of Russia was a disaster and it would see most of  Franceball's best armies be destroyed, its supply lines stretched to their breaking points, and the beginning of the end of the empire by 1813 with the start of the War of the Sixth Coalition. The war was a success and the coalition powers defeated  Franceball and even occupied  Parisball resulting in the exile of Napoleon. It eventually returned in 1815 and briefly resorted the empire for another 100 days before its final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo which ended the  First French Empireball for good, but its legacy continues to influence the European continent today.
