Excerpt from The Book of History, Vol. 11: A History of All Nations, From the Earliest Times to the Present, With Over 800 Illustrations, Western Europe to the French Revolution, The French Revolution and Napoleonic Era The House of Hapsburg gained great advantages from an alliance with the papacy, but it had, and has, no hesitation in renouncing the alliance, if by so doing it could further its political ends. Of this we have instances in the nineteenth century as well as in the eighteenth. In the policy of the French Bourbon and Napoleonic governments such instances are even more striking. The chief task of every govern ment is to unify the powers under its control, and to turn them to account with a View to throwing off any external yoke and to consolidating the internal relations between the territories composing the state.
