The overall situation beginning in 1792 with the wars that lasted until 1815 is that you have five expanding empires that came into a collision course and the minor states had a very hard time remaining neutral and they had to pick sides
That's an odd way to describe the wars that started in 1792 - France was attacking all of its neighbours and annexing territory/setting up puppet states across Europe. The expansionist ambitions of the other 'expanding empires' cannot be compared with that.
