| Abstract: | The article examines the geopolitical negotiations surrounding the 1802 Treaty of Amiens, focusing on its implications for Malta. It details how Britain and France attempted to resolve control of the Maltese archipelago, stipulating the restoration of the Order of St. John alongside new civil rights for the Maltese, and the intense local opposition led by Maltese delegates. It further explains how broken diplomatic terms and strategic mistrust led to the collapse of the peace in May 1803 and the onset of the Napoleonic Wars. |
