I like that there are two dudes having a moment in the background during the signing of the treaty of Amiens.

(Also, it’s not clear if the dude in the front left is Joseph or Napoleon)

War of the Second Coalition

The War of the Second Coalition (1798-1802), part of the broader French Revolutionary Wars, was the second attempt by an alliance of major European powers to defeat Revolutionary France. The Second Coalition, which included Russia, Austria, Great Britain, Naples, Portugal, and the Ottoman Empire, was defeated by the French Republic, and hostilities ended with the Treaty of Amiens in 1802.

Had the Grand-Master of the Order not opened the harbor to Napoleon, would the knights of st John been able to hold out against the French on Malta? Furthermore, after Napoleons defeat and exile did the order petition the Vienna congress for the return of their island?

They had the resources to hold out at Valetta, but with the desertion of many French knights, Napoleon could have left forces to besiege the fortress. So it's a question of whether Napoleon decides he can't spare the manpower to siege Valetta and hurry on to Egypt.

The Knights were actually promised the island in the Treaty of Amiens, so no need to petition the Vienna Congress. But Britain was never going to give up such a useful island base, so nothing ever came of it.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

the 19th century research

The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 , and ended on 31 December 1900. Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the First French Empire. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.

the people in the 19th century had very interesting fashion which consisted off grand ball gowns

what I like about the 19th century is their big skirts, I do add long lavish skirts to my original characters just because they're pretty and nice, I also like the colours and the shape of the dress which is a kind of off white

during the 19th century multiple major events went on which consisted of ;

The Napoleonic Wars (1802-1815)

Following the Revolutionary Wars in France, with Napoleon positioning himself as Emperor of the French Empire, over a decade of war in Europe followed, as nervous neighbors hoped to dethrone the General. Not afraid to get on the battlefield to force his politics, Napoleon conquered Italy, much of Spain, and by 1812 ruled most of Continental Europe. Britain and Russia remained thorns in his side, coalition forces rallied against Napoleon and ousted him, forcing him to exile on the island of Elba. After an escape and a brief resurgence, he was defeated for good at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), exiled permanently to Saint Helena where he would die, and the French monarchy was restored.

during the napoleonic war the British was against the French, the British was irritated by the French for several actions during following the treaty of the Amiens

the treaty of Amiens was a treaty signed at Amiens, by the French, British, Spain, and the Batavian Republic (the Netherlands), achieving a peace in Europe for 14 months during the Napoleonic Wars.

because my cult is set in a Australia esc place I have decided to look more into the Australian side of history which I do not do often so do not mind if I get anything wrong

21 Floréal, Year X

(11 May 1802)

“First Consul for life,’” repeats Marius, resting his chin in his hand with a grin. “It has a fine ring to it.”

“It does at that.” Napoléon rolls over in bed, admiring the way the mid-morning sunlight illuminates Marius’s bare skin. It isn’t often that he allows himself the luxury of basking in such moments, but since the signing of the Treaty of Amiens two months earlier, he’s been spending a lot more time focusing on what’s immediately around him. A finger raises to trace the soft curve of Marius’s ear before drifting to tug affectionately at the lobe twice.

Marius bats away his hand, eyes still shining. “Think of the opportunity! Everything you could do! Why, as First Consul you were already able to establish a system of public education, and with the English out of the way, you can focus on the improvement of the lives of the people in other ways, too!”

Napoléon smirks. “It sounds as though you already have something in mind.”

“Well … what about water?”

“Water,” repeats Napoléon with flat amusement. It’s been some time since Marius has visited a coiffeur, and Napoléon busies himself playing with the dark coil of hair beginning to trail down the back of his neck.

This time Marius doesn’t bother stopping him. “Running water. Many Parisians don’t have access to it, but if we could divert some from the Seine, it could provide much-needed drinking water to the masses.” Napoléon has begun placing slow, careful kisses along Marius’s bare shoulder (which may perhaps have been the long-term objective all along), and Marius falters when Napoléon reaches the joiner between it and his neck. “You’re not even listening to me.”

“I am,” he insists. “Water, channel, drinking. Go on.”

Marius rolls his eyes but continues as Napoléon rearranges himself to move to Marius’s other shoulder. “I was thinking, though, that it could also help with shipping. The Seine has a lot of traffic right now, but if we have a channel, it could provide another conduit for transit, maybe even throughout the whole city.”

Napoléon reaches the opposite shoulder cap with a loud, smacking pop. “I think that sounds like a fine idea. I’ll draft a proposal this afternoon.” There will be the matter of funding to consider, as well as selecting the right person to oversee the project, and labor will be its own task to sift through, but those are missions for times and places that are not mid-morning in his bed with Marius.

Marius, however, does not seem to agree. “And Saint Domingue! With slavery abolished, think of the opportunities we have to set an example for the rest of the world!”

Napoléon hums noncommittally into Marius’s spine. With no enslaved people working the plantations, Saint Domingue is currently hemorrhaging money. They will need it up and running again if they want to be able to compete with the English in the sugar market; this, however, is nothing Marius needs to know. Not now, and perhaps not ever.

“Just think,” sighs Marius. “France’s first democratically-elected First Consul for life. First peacetime in over a decade. First country to spread democracy throughout Europe.” He looks over his shoulder at Napoléon as warning before flipping onto his back. Napoléon settles over Marius’s chest, resting his chin over Marius’s sternum and in his own crossed arms. “The possibilities are infinite.”

“We are infinite,” Napoléon agrees, pushing himself forward to press his mouth to Marius’s.

Marius laughs into the kiss, and for a moment the world boils down to their lips against one another and the places where their bodies touch; Marius’s hands find Napoléon’s chest, however, and push him away, looking up at him with a sort of blissful wonder. “Do you remember when we visited Alexander’s tomb? In Alexandria?”

“Oh, not the other tomb of Alexander?” Napoléon receives a well-earned smack to his shoulder for that, and he grins, leaning down to place a kiss along Marius’s jawline. “Yes, I do recall.”

“And how we stripped down to race, like Alexander and Hephaestion did at the tombs of Achilles and Patroclus?”

A glorious day. “I remember you losing,” he murmurs into the hollow behind Marius’s ear with a smile.

Marius scoffs. “If it were for speed and not endurance, things might have been different.”

“Have you considered that I may have strategized around your unreasonably long legs?”

“It has occurred to me.” Now that he’s on his back, Marius’s hair is a mess. They can probably put off getting it cut another day or two. “We should go back. In August.”

Napoléon has returned to Marius’s jawline. It’s an excellent jaw. “And why is that?”

“You’ll be thirty-three.”

His neck is excellent, too. “Yes?”

“Alexander died at 32.”

Napoléon freezes. Sits up. Stares at Marius.

“Only if you want, of course.”

He wants. He wants very badly. “The Senate will be wanting to celebrate my birthday.”

“It doesn’t have to be the same day.”

“I’ll have to stay in France, if not Paris, to oversee the infrastructure projects.”

“It doesn’t have to be this year.”

He wants it to be this year. “First chance we get,” Napoléon decides. “You and I will return to Alexandria and have our rematch.”

“To honor Alexander and Hephaestion?” asks Marius.

“To honor us.”

Marius smiles. “Then we have all the time in the world.”

Detail of Napoleon in The Peace of Amiens, by Anatole Devosge

The Peace of Amiens was the treaty in 1802 which ended the War of the Second Coalition. The peace would be short lived as Britain would declare war on France one year later. It was, however, the only period of general peace in Europe since the start of the Coalition Wars in 1792.

[dan6085]

England and France, two of the oldest nations in Europe, have had a long history of conflicts spanning centuries. Here are 20 significant wars and military conflicts between them, with brief details and outcomes:

1. **The Norman Conquest (1066)** - The Duke of Normandy (France) invaded England, leading to the Battle of Hastings where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II.

- Winner: France

2. **The Angevin Empire Conflicts (12th Century)** - These were a series of conflicts over the control of territories in France by the Angevin kings of England.

- Winner: Varied by conflict, but ultimately France gained control over the territories.

3. **The Hundred Years' War (1337-1453)** - A series of conflicts fought over the right to rule the Kingdom of France.

- Winner: France

4. **The War of Saint-Sardos (1324)** - A conflict over Gascony, leading to a brief military campaign.

- Winner: France

5. **The Caroline War (1369-1389), part of the Hundred Years' War** - Marked by French successes and territorial gains.

- Winner: France

6. **The Lancastrian War (1415-1453), part of the Hundred Years' War** - England initially achieved significant victories, including Agincourt, but eventually lost all French territories except Calais.

- Winner: France

7. **The War of the League of Cambrai (1508-1516)** - Although not exclusively between England and France, both were involved in this larger conflict over territories in Italy.

- Winner: Inconclusive, with varied success for both.

8. **The Italian Wars (1494-1559)** - A series of conflicts where England and France were involved, often as part of opposing alliances.

- Winner: Varied by campaign, but France gained influence in Italy, though at a great cost.

9. **The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714)** - England (later Great Britain) fought against France as part of a Grand Alliance, contesting French expansion and the unification of French and Spanish thrones.

- Winner: England/Great Britain, leading to the Treaty of Utrecht limiting French influence.

10. **The War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748)** - England and France fought in battles across the globe as part of broader coalitions.

- Winner: Inconclusive, though the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle returned territories to the status quo ante bellum.

11. **The Seven Years' War (1756-1763)** - A global conflict in which Britain and France fought in Europe, North America, and India.

- Winner: England/Great Britain, leading to significant territorial gains in North America and India.

12. **The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783)** - France supported the American colonies against Britain with naval battles and troops.

- Winner: France (in alliance with America), contributing to American independence.

13. **The Revolutionary Wars (1792-1802)** - As part of the First Coalition, Britain fought revolutionary France.

- Winner: Inconclusive, leading to the Peace of Amiens.

14. **The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815)** - A series of major conflicts where Britain led coalitions against the Napoleonic French Empire.

- Winner: England/Great Britain, culminating in Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

15. **The Crimean War (1853-1856)** - Though not directly against each other, Britain and France were allies against Russia.

- Winner: Anglo-French alliance

16. **The Second Opium War (1856-1860)** - Again, Britain and France were allies, this time against Qing dynasty China.

- Winner: Anglo-French alliance

17. **The Suez Crisis (1956)** - Britain and France, alongside Israel, coordinated a failed invasion of Egypt to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and remove Egyptian President Nasser from power.

- Winner: Neither; under pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain and France were forced to withdraw, marking a significant decline in their global influence and no clear military victory.

18. **Fashoda Incident (1898)** - Although not a war, this was a significant diplomatic and military confrontation between France and Britain over control of the Sudan. The crisis ended without armed conflict, as France withdrew its claim, acknowledging British control over Egypt and Sudan.

- Winner: Britain, as France withdrew and British control over Sudan was acknowledged.

Given the historical context and evolution of international relations, finding direct military engagements specifically between England/Britain and France after the early 19th century becomes less common. However, focusing on indirect conflicts, alliances, and the Cold War period:

19. **Entente Cordiale (1904)** - While not a conflict, this is a significant turning point in Anglo-French relations. The series of agreements marked the end of centuries of rivalry and the beginning of a peaceful and cooperative relationship. This diplomatic accord led to the allies standing together through both World Wars against common adversaries.

- Winner: Both nations benefited from the stabilization of relations and mutual support in global conflicts.

20. **World Wars as Allies** - During both World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945), Britain and France were allies against common enemies (Central Powers in WWI, Axis Powers in WWII). Their cooperation during these conflicts marked a significant shift from their historical rivalries to a lasting partnership.

- Winner: Together, Britain and France emerged victorious in both conflicts, although at great cost.

After centuries of conflict, the relationship between Britain and France evolved into one of cooperation and alliance, particularly evident in the 20th century and beyond, as both faced new global challenges.

The conflicts mentioned above highlight the complex and often changing dynamics of Anglo-French relations, ranging from outright warfare to alliances against common foes. In the earlier periods, territorial control in France was a major bone of contention, while later conflicts were part of broader European or global struggles for power and influence. The outcomes of these wars shaped the course of both nations' histories, influencing their territorial, political, and economic landscapes extensively.
