We take a look at how the Napoleonic Wars broke out.  

Napoleon had a different understanding of the world situation than the Addington government and the British public.  We also examine the failure of Russia to mediate between the two powers.

We go into both the understanding of the British for why restating the war was a good idea, and Napoleon's of keeping the peace.  In the end Napoleon would have had to concede a commercial treaty, but he was convinced he needed to protect French industry from British competition.

And so, 12 years of war ensue.
