Negotiating the Treaty of Amiens

The podcast episode explores the negotiations between Britain and France that led to the Treaty of Amiens, which brought peace to Europe after nearly a decade of war. The negotiations were slow and difficult, as both sides were hesitant to make concessions. The British had gained valuable colonies during the war, while the French felt they had won the war by withstanding British attempts to suppress the revolution. However, the treaty ultimately resulted in a relatively balanced agreement where both sides returned some territories, and France retained control over strategically important North Sea ports.
