It was in 18 1 3, and then alone, that practically and literally every single Christian country of Europe outside France united NAPOLEON. — IV 107 with the rest in one huge coalition against Napoleon. With the solitary exception of little Saxony, every ruler in Europe joined Prussia, Russia, Austria, England, Sweden, etc., to combat Napoleon. If one pauses to think of the most essential and most patent character of Europe, that is, its irreconcilable differentiation (even now into forty odd sov...ereign and different states) ; if one considers that the interests of various powers in Europe are as a rule, and must for- ever be as conflicting, as diametrically opposed to one another as they have always proved themselves to be, so that a United States of Europe is as impossible as is a hereditary monarchy in the States of America: one cannot but stand amazed at the fact that for once in European history the Powers, forgetting their con- flicting interests, overlooking their irreconcilable dif- ferences, united into one immense coalition animated by one purpose, meant to accomplish one single great historic fact.
