"Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume, part of a series, explores events surrounding the Napoleonic era, specifically focusing on the complexities of warfare and diplomacy during a tumultuous period that includes the expediting of the Russian campaign and its impact on European relations. The narrative delves into the consequences of Napoleon's decisions, political struggles in England and America, and the ongoing conflicts in Spain. The opening of the volume discusses several key events during the time of Napoleon’s Russian expedition, providing a detailed account of the geopolitical tensions involving England, America, and France. Thiers presents the difficult situation in England characterized by struggle in commerce and growing desires for peace, the assassination of British cabinet member Perceval, and the potential for war between America and England. Meanwhile, Napoleon's promises to revoke harsh decrees for the sake of American trade create a backdrop of diplomatic negotiating, culminating in a discussion on the impending declaration of war between the United States and Great Britain.
