TREATY OF AMIENS
MARCH 27, 1802

Amiens is a city in northern France.

Here, on March 27, 1802, a treaty was signed by Britain, France, Spain, and the Batavian Republic (Netherlands) that gave Europe a short breather from war.

The treaty marked the end of the French Revolutionary Wars (War of the Second Coalition) and gave everyone a reason to resume the fight 14 months later. It was now called the Napoleonic Wars.
