Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, originally published in 1893-1894, is a historical account by Louis Adolphe Thiers, focusing on the period of the Consulate and the Empire of France under Napoleon. It delves into the political and diplomatic intricacies of the Congress of Vienna and the state of Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The narrative explores the complex negotiations among European powers, such as France, England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, as they redefine territorial boundaries and power structures. Thiers provides insights into the political maneuvers and alliances formed during this pivotal moment in European history. The book is intended for readers interested in European history, particularly those keen on understanding the diplomatic and political landscape of the early 19th century. |
