Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, (Vol. 08 / 20) / faisant suite à l'Histoire de la Révolution Française

The narrative examines the period following the peace of Tilsit, detailing diplomatic and military measures adopted to enforce the continental blockade against Britain, reorganize troop dispositions across northern and southern theaters, and project power in the Mediterranean and Iberia. It recounts naval operations and cruiser deployments, the seizure of British merchandise, and the expeditionary moves toward Portugal and Spain culminating in the treaty of Fontainebleau and growing intervention in Spanish dynastic affairs. Parallel domestic developments under imperial authority include ministerial reshuffles, legal and fiscal reforms, suppression of the Tribunate, public works funding, and adjustments to honors and military endowments.
