Pearlware pottery mug decorated with allegorical prints of The Peace of Amiens, circa 1802

The Treaty of Amiens, signed March 27, 1802, was a temporary peace treaty ending the War of the Second Coalition between France and Britain, restoring calm for about 14 months before the Napoleonic Wars resumed. Key terms included Britain returning most colonial gains (keeping Ceylon & Trinidad) and France evacuating Egypt and Naples; the treaty failed due to unresolved disputes, particularly over Malta, leading Britain to declare war again in May 1803.
