| Summary | "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume specifically focuses on the events surrounding the French Empire under Napoleon after the peace of Tilsit, delving into military maneuvers, diplomatic relations, and domestic policies during this period. Thiers aims to provide a comprehensive narrative of Napoleon's decisions and their implications for France and Europe. The opening of this work sets the stage for the period following Napoleon's return to Paris after the peace treaty with Russia. It outlines the joy and optimism that pervaded France and allied nations as they anticipated a time of peace and prosperity. The text discusses Napoleon's strategic military reorganization, his communications with other European powers, particularly concerning Sweden and Portugal, and his intentions for expanding French influence in Spain and Italy. Through detailed descriptions of political maneuverings and military plans, the narrative emphasizes the complexities of governance and imperial ambitions during Napoleon's reign. This opening portion not only establishes the historical context but also hints at the volatile dynamics that characterized the time, foreshadowing the challenges that would arise in maintaining such a vast empire.
