Napoléon Bonaparte felt the Batavian Republic was becoming too independent for his liking. He thus forced the Dutch to accept his brother, Loui Bonoparte asking. The alternative would have been outright annexation to France. Despite these circumstances, many citizens were very happy with his arrival. But there was also opposition because many feared the new King would introduce the dreaded policy of conscription. This Louis would not do, much to the dismay of Napoléon, who demanded that his brother Louis raise a large army to guard the North against possible British incursions, and to aid the French armies in Germany and Spain. Nevertheless, the Dutch Army would remain small, but well-trained.
