Split during the French Administration of Napoleon Bonaparte Marko Lončar
"French governance over Dalmatia lasted until 1813 and the battle of Leipzig, the decisive defeat of Napoleon’s army on the continent. (Britannica 1998) Though oftentimes regarded as usurping, particularly among those who were most affected by changes imposed, we can beyond doubt credit the French governance for doing so much for the benefit of the people in so little time, especially for the introduction of ground-breaking libertarian ideas."
