NAPOLEONIC WARS
1803 - 1815
WHEN DID THE
NAPOLEONIC WARS BEGIN?
Some say the
Napoleonic Wars already started in 1799 when
Napoleon became
First Consul of France and the
French Revolution ended.
Others say the Napoleonic Wars
started in 1800.
Here, we take May 16, 1803 as starting
point of the Napoleonic Wars, because on that day Britain officially
cancelled the
Treaty of
Amiens by declaring war on France.
