You can't compare 15 years of Napoleonic regime to several hundred years of hatred.

Sure, then you've got hundreds of years of wars in europe to choose from besides napoleon, from hundred year war, thirty year war, ottoman-byzantine wars, russia-swedish wars, russia-polish wars, anglo-french wars, anglo-spanish wars, belgian wars, saxon wars, war of the roses etc.

There was several hundred years of hatred in europe too.

Yes, but those are not two countries singled out. This is a whole continent full of countries. If you want to make a somewhat similar comparison you could take England and France. Even then, there was no genocide between those two and no enslaving each other so it's not really the same situation.
