| Summary | "Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, (Vol. 12 / 20)" by Adolphe Thiers is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive series that chronicles the tumultuous period of the French Consulate and the Empire, particularly focusing on the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. The text delves into the political intricacies of the time, exploring key events, diplomatic maneuvers, and military campaigns that shaped Europe during this epoch. The opening of the narrative introduces Thiers’ meticulous approach to history, revealing his intense dedication over 15 years to produce an authentic account based on extensive archival research, including Napoleon’s correspondence. He emphasizes the importance of factual accuracy and the responsibility of the historian to convey the truth about significant historical events. As the chapter unfolds, it provides insight into the state of the French Empire post-Napoleon's marriage to Marie-Louise, discussing the challenges he faced, such as maintaining peace with Austria while addressing ongoing conflicts like the war in Spain and England's resistance. Thiers sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the political climate and military strategies that characterized the era, establishing a foundation for understanding the complexities of Napoleon's rule and the European landscape of the time.
