Origins of the Napoleonic Wars: The Peace of Amiens

This video aims to be a short documentary/ analysis, looking at the negotiations surrounding the Treaty of Amiens that ended the French Revolutionary Wars. It then aims to chart the breakdown of the peace, and start of the Napoleonic Wars. Sources: Paul W. Schroeder, Napoleon's Foreign Policy: A Criminal Enterprise (Without doubt the best article I have ever read on Napoleon's Foreign Policy, and explains comprehensively why it was so disastrous for Europe). Andrew Roberts, Napoleon the Great (The best single volume biography of Napoleon, and used heavily for the French side of the negotiations). Thomas Goldsmith, British Diplomatic Attitudes towards Europe, 1801–4 Ignorant and Indifferent?, International History Review (An excellent article for an assessment of Britain's foreign policy between 1801-1804). Graeme Callister, Britain’s Continental Connection and the Peace of Amiens: A Reassessment, International Historical Review (An interesting and useful article for looking at British foreign policy in the era by focusing on London's relationship with the Netherlands. However, I fundamentally disagree with the thesis that Amiens was some kind of British success). Roger Knight, Britain Against Napoleon (An excellent book looking at Britain's war effort). Modern British Foreign Policy, The Eighteenth Century (A good book for analysis, though arguably shows its age with the occasional false fact, such as arguing France didn't legally break any part of Amiens, ignoring her economic violations etc.). #Napoleon, #BritishEmpire, #History
