Peace of Amiens

The Treaty of Amiens, signed in 1802, was a temporary peace agreement between France and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. It aimed to stop fighting and restore peace in Europe, reestablishing borders and ending hostilities for a short period. The treaty allowed both nations to focus on internal issues and rebuild. However, it was fragile and lasted only about a year, as conflicts soon resumed. The treaty is significant because it marked a brief moment of diplomacy amidst ongoing European conflicts.
